Great! Let me know what you think. I’m always curious to find out if others agree with my review after reading the book for themselves.

Wow, great review. I really enjoyed meeting him for the first time in 52 and was curious if this colleciton was something that I’d be interested in. You definitely pushed my curiousity over the edge and I will be picking this one up. Thanks!

That’s what I felt here, exactly.

I’m not gonna lie, I do love me some Booster Gold. 52 was an amazing storyline, and I’ve enjoyed the first two trades of the Booster Gold series. I’d put him in the “fun” category of comics; not intense, but rather enjoyable.

No problem! A twitter contact (@batmansgirl) mentioned that she had been reading some recent Booster Gold appearances, and I asked if she had read the showcase – she said to let her know how it is… and here we are 1200 words later.

I figured I’d spare the twitter servers the load and just put it up ;)

I’m sure you don’t need to be told that even if the book is good, it’s very much a product of its time. For some reason 80s and 90s books don’t feel dated to me when I think about them, probably because it was what I was reading when I was a kid, but it’s definitely not today’s comics.

I’ve been interested in getting this book for a long time, so thanks for this review! I haven’t read much Booster Gold but he seems like the sort of character I’d find really entertaining. I’ll definitely be getting this book sometime soon now.
