Booster Gold #4

One of DC's best mothlies, "Booster Gold" continues to deliver. Booster continues to work with Rip Hunter and teams up with Barry Allen Flash and Wally West as Kid Flash. It was great to to see the Cosmic Treadmill utilized in this issue. The reveal of Supernova's identity was done well. Both Geoff Johns and Jeff Katz bring a really depth of character to the main players in this book. The pain of Booster loosing his best friend Ted Kord is always evident. It is also nice to see Rip Hunter given something more to do than be "exposition guy". Dan Jurgen's art is, as always, exceptional and has a timeless feel.

"Booster Gold" sits a top my stack as a first read every month. Johns and company have done an impressive job of handling this B-list character. I highly recommend jumping on this title sooner rather than later as next month's time intervention looks to be quite interesting.
