BOOSTER GOLD #3Written by Geoff Johns & Jeff Katts
Art by Dan Jurgens
My first question with this great issue is what happened to Rip Hunter's beard? Did he just decide to shave it down to a bunch of whiskers? He obviously didn't bother shaving the entire thing off, so is this just an art decision or some kind of time hiccup we should notice or what? This isn't a complaint so much as a general curiosity though. Just something random that struck me the minute I opened the book.
As for the actual issue, this is easily one of the best books this week, let alone month. Booster Gold continues to impress me month in and month out. Not only is it genuinely entertaining every issue, but it is also one of the funniest books on the market. Skeets riding his own horse side by side with Booster? Pure gold. Booster's tale of Super-dickery from Superman where Superman tells him he is not good enough for a cape? That stuff is hilarious. Drunk driving / time travelling and getting rear ended by Flash and Kid Flash as they time travel with their treadmill? That stuff is too awesome for me to make up.
I love time travel books when they are handled properly and Booster Gold is definitely the best book I have ever seen handle the topic. Having Booster inadvertently be responsible for all of the random events in the DCU is a perfect role for him and I can't wait for the next issue. Do yourself a favour and go back to the shop and pick this book up. It's worth every penny.
Verdict - Must Read
