I really enjoyed how that friendship continued to be expressed even after Ted's death. Johns, Giffen and Jurgens each found great ways for Booster to honor and reflect on Ted.

Can someone explain to me why everyone loves Booster Gold so much? I tried to read up on him but I just can't understand it.

I would appreciate some clarity here.

Speaking personally, I'm a sucker for characters that are trying to actively better themselves despite everyone basically giving up on them. Booster Gold saw a lot of growth as a character, especially within the original "52," which is still my favorite example of a maxi-series. The Giffen/DeMatteis run on JLI made him and Ted a genuinely memorable duo, best buds in life and death.

Honestly, without Booster Gold, there's not much keeping me in the New 52.

Make Sleepwalker in the Next Marvel Set!

Heroclix needs more Jack Knight!

Well, I guess I have trouble getting into DC. I don't think it's as accessible as Marvel. I just want to get into it so I can enjoy DC heroclix as much as I do Marvel. But a lot of whats holding me back is the characters, some of the names (Anything with lad in it puts me off), and all of the universe tracking. I can't keep track of KC, E-1, E-2 or what universe is what and whose superman belongs to who.

But booster gold seems interesting and as everyone is raving about him, I hope I get him with my case of Batman. (Although most of the set is a meh so far).

Few books I'd recommend are "Formerly Known as Justice League", "I Can't Believe it's not Justice League" and the Giffen DeMathis run on Justice League International. Featuring a very off beat Justice League that is very different in style than the Iconic Seven Leaguers.

That was the example of Booster past. For examples of how he has evolved into a mature character then I'd recommend "Justice League: Generation Lost"

Finally... 20 odd sets after Booster Gold's singular appearance (Origins) and he's a Super Rare? for fricks sake. this kinda sucks when Blue Beetle (his best bud) is a fricking common? bad move necca.

Considering I think the whole reason he's an SR is so his set number can be 52, I think it was worth it for that joke.
