So as to make sure that RyanDG disregards the rest of my post, I have to start off by saying that I couldn't stand the "Superbuddies" and the seemingly neverending run of Justice League books featuring Booster, Beetle, and <groan> Guy Gardner. I know it was supposed to be humorous. It wasn't. I think that the best storyline ever to feature Elongated Man was by far Identity Crisis. As for the killing of Booster, I find it interesting that Booster is featured on both the covers of the new Justice League 0 and 1 (though admittedly it was stated that not everyone on the cover would be on the team). In defense of Booster, I did appreciate the statement made (though I can't for the life of me remember in which book it was made) saying that even though he knew Doomsday was trouble, he still took a few nasty hits to try to stop him (which resulted in the shredding of his beloved costume). And though I have many complaints with Infinite Crisis, the killing of minor/B-team characters made the story more enjoyable. (I'm a big fan of bad Max and the Countdown to Crisis book).

Oh, I am all over Geoff Johns and Richard Donner's Action Comics run. When the solicitation calls it "destined-to-classic", they ain't kiddin'. :grin:

Okay, so is anybody else getting bored with 52??? The Black Adam story is really the only thing exciting about it in my opinion. I think I'm just gonna wait until they publish the trade paperback.

It'd really be a shame if you dropped it now, since the last two issues have had a lot of pay-off from all the build up. The Ralph plot and the Space plot are really going strong now, and the most recent occurrences in the Booster Gold plot show a lot of promise.

The one plot that's still all build-up and no pay-off is the Steel plot, which doesn't even seem to have Steel in it any more. What, has he been crying into his desk all this whole time?

And whatever happened to Mr. Mind?

"It's all HIS fault!!!!" One of the best moments in the series IMO. Definitely on the way up, too (was getting bored there for awhile). Damn him that Skeets Skeets Skeets.

What happened to the new Booster did you go back to the future where the original Booster was from?

He went even further into the future. Michael Carter (the original Booster) was from the 25th century; Skeets sent Daniel Carter (the new Booster) to the 10,001st century.
