    He is? Here I was under the impression that he and Rip Hunter are in the progress of stopping Skeets from destroying time itself in 52.

    Doesn't really scream 'dick' to me.

    THE THING IS, SCOODLE, THAT IF THE BOOSTER PAGE WAS EVEN A LITTLE SHORTER, THEN I'D TOTALLY READ IT. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THAT MUCH ABOUT A CHARACTER I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, BUT I'LL TRY. WISH ME LUCK....

    PS-HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY!

    Well, I could refer you to the Booster Gold page, but I doubt you'd actually go and read it. I mostly like him because he acts like a normal human being. He's sort of selfish, but still likeable. He's not smart, but he's certainly not stupid. Plus, Time Travel = Win.

    Well, yeah. That's his thing. He borrows the technology of others. I mean, like I said, he's not the most selfless guy. He got started by wanting to make a buck and a name for himself, and did so by cribbing Legion technology. However, he's got the right goal in mind, and that's to help others.

    I mean, Batman's "powers" aren't "real" either. He uses tech, his brain, and his brawn. Booster is the same, just less brain.

    I'm not saying that they're completely the same, and yes, he did steal his original technology. However, I believe at some point during his ongoing series the Legion formally forgave him because of the good that he did. And he has since changed from how he was when he would bet on his own games. There are plenty of heroes that do questionable things, even more so than Booster.

    1- Plastic Man: Jewel Thief

    2- Obsidian, member of the JSA and son of Alan Scott, tried to take over the world twice.

    3- Hal Jordan became Parallax and slaughtered the Green Lantern Corps

    4- Martian Manhunter became Fernus and almost engulfed the world in Nuclear winter

    And what did Booster do? Steal some tech to help people? Wow. Real Villainous.

    I'm not trying to get you to like him. You just came in here and started saying things about him that weren't true, so I corrected you.

    Ok.

    Anyway, back to the topic at hand:

    Did anyone remember when I said about a month ago that Rip or Booster would probably get a new time-traveling-centered book?

    Yeah. I'm always right. This is going to rock so hard. I can just see the interaction Michael is going to have with Jonah Hex.

    Boken, stop trolling. I calmly proved you wrong, so you have no place saying anything here, especially if it's solely to display your distaste for the character we're talking about.

    Hey I'm just saying Darkchild dosn't sound like the guy who would like Booster. He sounds like a guy who would like the Punisher. Did you read his profile?

    Ok, well I'm still going to be happy that DC had enough respect for my favorite character to give him a monthly book, and to have Geoff Johns write it. There's no need to come in here and bash him or anything.

    "thankyou someone gets the point here"

    There's no need to be so negative guys. I'm just saying that I'm happy about my main man getting his own series, and you guys come in here just to talk about how much you hate the character. Come on, we're all friends here guys. After all, you don't have to take it so seriously. They're just comic books. :)

    I'll be honest, I never took Booster seriously as a character UNTIL 52. But then again, I got my Booster fixes back when Justice League featured him and Blue Beetle owning their own island resort, and that horrible "Extreme Justice" series.

    Congrats, Scoodle. I know the pain of having your favourite character marginalized. I am living the dream right now as an Iron Fist fan, but for a long time, they made him a joke.

    Thanks man, I'm excited. Also, if this Booster series is anywhere near as good as Brubaker's current Iron Fist series, then I'll die happy.

    Booster Gold and Iron Fist always struck me as funny because they are minor characters with a huge fan base. I like em' both okay, I'm just not too huge. I see why people like him though-if you talk the average man and made him a superhero, nine out of ten guys would turn into Booster Gold. He's relatable.
