I'm behind everyone else when it comes to reviewing comics because I read in cycles. I pick up books for a few months(mostly trades) and then I lay off for a while until a new set of trades come out for me to read.
But, I had to pick up Booster Gold. I heard good things about the book and was not disappointed. Geoff Johns and Dan Jurgens attached certainly didn't hurt. Co-Writers Geoff Johns and Jeff Katz never let things get too serious or bogged down by the time-travel aspect of the book which must be a hard job with the many different universes and characters to keep organized. Everyone from the JLA to Sinestro and a young Guy Gardner make an appearance, even Jonah Hex shows up.
This comic book is a fun read and reminds me of many comic books from the early 80's that I read as a boy. There was a light mood, and playfulness in those books that seems missing in much of todays comics. I'm going to pick up the next few issues and can't wait to see what happens next.
