Description To Books Booster Gold, Vol. 1: 52 Pick-Up (Booster Gold (2007) #1)
I love Booster Gold.And when I tell people that, I usually get some funny looks. But it's true! And this title is what made me a fan. My love affair started with The OMAC Project project, but 52 Pick-up kinda solidified my feelings.
The gist is that Booster is a newly reformed self-serving glory hound who has only recently gained a smidge of respect from some of the members of the Justice League. Just when it looks like all his dreams are finally within reach, he finds out that he is destined to be The Greatest Hero The World Has Never Known. In order to save the Justice League (and preserve the timeline), he's going to have to make sure history thinks he's just a harmless bumbling idiot.
Rip Hunter is a mysterious time-traveling figure that wants Booster to work with him to fix all the problems that Mister Mind's recent rampage has caused. Earth's timeline is spotted with newly malleable moments and Rip is afraid that, left unchecked, villains could change history to their advantage.
Because he has to continue to act like a grandstanding fool, Booster isn't exactly excited to help Rip. But he eventually agrees with the condition that Rip allows him to go back and save Ted Kord (Blue Beetle) from Maxwell Lord. Rip warns him it can't be done, which leads to a really heartbreaking story about Booster trying to save Barbara Gordon from the Joker's bullet.
Will that stop Booster from saving his friend?
Only time will tell...
Great story about a C-list character that flies under the radar.
Recommended!

Booster Gold has obviously been played only for laughs almost his entire existence but Geoff Johns and and Jeff Katz bring to life the same humor but a more rounded character. This Booster is aware of his role and is making power moves to save his best friend. The time travel wackiness is fun and exciting. Dan Jurgens' art is perfect for the character. I thought this book would be just be mindless fun but it was so much more. Really good read.Booster Gold is a washed up football player from the future. He had visions of being rich and famous but got caught throwing games for cash. Only able to get work as a museum guard Booster decides to steel future tech and travel to the past to strike it rich as a superhero. A laugh to most everyone Booster was a joke, until he became entangled in a dangerous mission with time traveling guardians. Now Booster is on a secret mission to protect all of time from those who have the power to bend it
Pure gold!What an exciting story with terrific artwork. Admittedly I have always thought Booster Gold was underrated as a superhero. Now here he is centre stage & deservedly so with his cool costume, & witty asides. More than a match for any super villain. But can he save his old friend Blue Beetle?
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who isn't hopelessly in love with Geoff Johns. What I've read of his stuff thus far is horribly inconsistent. Green Lantern was shallow fan-wank.Aquaman was...surprisingly delightful.Booster Gold is...ok? I mean, it seems like this is something more beneficial to long time DC readers and not so much people like myself who are looking into possible gateways to new titles to read. Aside from that, it's also very sloppily written...(view spoiler)[The whole
I love Booster Gold! He always seems to be the glory hound in any comic that I read with him in it. I love that in this particular trade he becomes a great hero, but in order to do so he shuns the Justice League and acts behind the scenes. I love the references made to future DC projects like Blackest Night and to past stories like The Killing Joke. Booster can be a real hero when he wants to be. The relationship between him and Skeets is fun to read about. Overall a great read.
Geoff Johns does it again! This book is called "52 Pick-Up" 'cause it literally picks up Booster's story right where the "52" series left off. This was a really well written tale with a mature Booster (well as mature as he's going to get) that really shows why Booster is the greatest hero you'll never know.
Starting with the excellent art, we will continue to the amusing beginning.We will get excellent writing.And what happened?The best Booster Gold story of all time.
