Booster Gold's about back to form now. It was an honestly well-balanced issue with a heck of a reveal
I expected [spoiler]Rip to be Booster himself[/spoiler], so I was at least in the ballpark.
and it was great to both see things looking up for Booster ([spoiler]but... Uh... He does know that she has to be "on loan," right?[/spoiler]) and (more) proof that Bruce has a sharp mind and a big heart.
And always, always knows more than he's letting on.
I loved the cover -- it is of course nontrivial that this book hasn't just been about time travel through the DCU, but also about time travel through the real-life history of DC. Over the last few months we went back to the 1980's with the JLI, and this month it's back to the 1990's with a One Million issue.
Anyway. Johns leaves on a high note; the art team stays. I like the idea of a rotating writing team; it'll be like The Brave and the Bold with time travel (and, hopefully, more of the aforementioned clever metafiction).
Incidentally, a peek at the Wiki
Booster article says:
During the Millennium Event, Harbinger reveals to Martian Manhunter that Booster is descended from The Chosen, and that he must be protected due to his involvement in elevating the human race. In fact, it is revealed Booster was destined to come to the past to protect him from an unknown event in the future. (Source: Booster Gold #25 (Feb1988))
Since there's no reference to any resolution on this prophecy, I'm going to guess it hasn't happened yet. And given that ol' J'onny was recently killed off in a story by the first writer I would expect to be bringing up twenty-year-old loose ends...
Another topic: Action #867. I don't like the "Superman has only met drones, never the ONE TRUE BRAINIAC" premise, and I like the "What happened to the ONE TRUE KANDOR?" bit even less. I had to hit up Wikipedia to figure out what the hell the story is with the Bottle City post-Infinite Crisis.
I fucking hate Crises.
