Booster Gold hasn't a book that shies away from mocking bad DC editorial decisions. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, three books with Booster Gold and (a) Blue Beetle in one month - that's pretty great.Anthony Strandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170406011301084809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-36358259200043279762007-12-18T14:00:00.000-08:002007-12-18T14:00:00.000-08:00bullshit. jerry ordway is dead, everybody knows th...bullshit. jerry ordway is dead, everybody knows that. he died in the same bus crash that killed left eye.Tucker Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793079084633425826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-87991787681963414402007-12-18T11:04:00.000-08:002007-12-18T11:04:00.000-08:00re: Your Booster recommendation will be taken unde...re: Your Booster recommendation will be taken under advisement.<BR/><BR/>btw, Busiek's said in a few interviews that he has ideas about introducing Chloe into the Superman cast, so I suspect you can lay this almost entirely at his feet. Being underwhelmed by the half-dozen or so Smallville episodes I've seen (nice idea, mediocre execution), I'm fairly ambivalent to the character - meaning, it will not influence me to buy or not buy the book. However, the high quality of previous Busiek Superman trades will go a lot farther in convincing me to pick up the Chloe story when the collections start rolling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-29391482899329802202007-12-18T10:41:00.000-08:002007-12-18T10:41:00.000-08:00Andrew, Ah.

That would explain why it looks like a Tony Daniel drawing then, huh? <BR/><BR/>I wonder if the GLC issue continues from a part one in GL proper, which I think was also about Alphan Lanterns the previous month?<BR/><BR/><BR/>C.B.J. and Corey,<BR/><BR/>Oh, I dig Ordway myself, I'm just disappointed to see him pop up in Brave and the Bold, as it being Waid and Perez doing whatever they want with the DCU is why I love that book so much. Especially since I thought Perez was only on through issue #12.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Regault,<BR/><BR/>Having never seen Smallville, adding Chloe to the comics does nothing for me, but DC and Newsarama do seem to think it's a big deal, huh? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Jeff,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the offer my man, but I think I may invest in the trade anyway, as it will help empty a fraction of a long box.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mr. Lorah, <BR/><BR/>I second Corey's reccomendation! The Jonah Hex issue is fantastic. You may want to wait for a trade paperback though. I have no idea why thye're going with a hardcover, but "Booster Gold comic" and "hardcover" just seem....wrong to me.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-70721256612380488082007-12-18T10:02:00.000-08:002007-12-18T10:02:00.000-08:00Corey, I might do that.

I've always thought the superhero-cum-celebrity aspect of Booster has a ton of potential, and I'm not quite the target audience for the time-travel, continuity-loving angle they're taking... but I do have a soft spot for Booster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-72345604082270139482007-12-18T07:38:00.000-08:002007-12-18T07:38:00.000-08:00Mike, you should go ahead pick up the first Booste...Mike, you should go ahead pick up the first Booster Gold trade.

ARGH! They'll have an arc starring Beetle and Booster, but of course it's going to pit them against the BEST character from the JLI run, Max Lord, in his latter-day, massively-mischaracterized persona.<BR/><BR/>I was thisclose to checking out the first Booster Gold trade, but now I doubt I actually will, because I'll certainly be dropping it for the second collection.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the JLU issue looks pretty darn nice as a substitute. Plus Giffen trumps Johns any day of the week.<BR/><BR/>Agreed that AZTEK - kinda neat, but never quite came together in a satisfying way. I'm surprised DC waited this long to collect it, but I'm also not really that interested in re-reading it.<BR/><BR/>KGBeast died in the first OYL Batman arc, Face the Face, by James Robinson. Shot in the head twice by a whale or something.<BR/><BR/>Young Liars looks great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-72132140815419053242007-12-18T00:29:00.000-08:002007-12-18T00:29:00.000-08:00Man, Violet's costume looks like it was designed b...Man, Violet's costume looks like it was designed by Liefeld. Random football pads on a girl, plus leg pouches?<BR/><BR/>Things that stuck out at me from the previews:<BR/><BR/>Blue Beetle's blurb uses "World's Greatest Heroes" to refer to Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, Fire, and Ice. Sweet.<BR/><BR/>Metapowered Amanda Waller? Am I the only one who sees this as a tremendously bad idea?<BR/><BR/>Salvation's Run is starting to look like the old Planet Luthor story from the 70s.<BR/><BR/>Birds of Prey cover reminds me of those random plasma guns the cops used in the old X-Men cartoon.<BR/><BR/>Ice Kate is the best name for an ice themed villainess ever.<BR/><BR/>DC finally bought a clue regarding the WoW comic and is switching to a higher proportion of Sam Didier covers.<BR/><BR/>Also, whose idea was it to add Chloe from Smallville to the Superman cast? Isn't the character rather extraneous as long as Lois is around?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-64540793490002055282007-12-17T21:39:00.000-08:002007-12-17T21:39:00.000-08:00The covers for Booster Gold and Justice League Unl...The covers for Booster Gold and Justice League Unlimited make me very, very happy. <BR/><BR/>And I can definitely live with Jerry Ordway serving as a fill-in artist on Brave & Bold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-26903506103522881662007-12-17T20:17:00.000-08:002007-12-17T20:17:00.000-08:00Guest art maybe bad but it appears that Ordway's i...Guest art maybe bad but it appears that Ordway's inking his own pencils which is a very good thing.

They're not showing the cover. <BR/><BR/>But, I'm in a much more "WTF" mode thanks to GLC. Not only is their a new wrtier out of nowhere, there's the second part of a previously unannounced arc. Where did that come from? When did Alpha Lanterns happen in to GLC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
