Okay -
I'm a Keith Giffen fanboy. From the Superbuddies to the Justice League International to Ambush Bug - Keith Giffen is my hero. With that said (and this isn't suprising to anyone who has been following 52) DC comics has offiically killed off the last part of the true Dynamic Duo - Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. Though there are rumors that this is just 1 of 2 Boosters floating around our time - we all have to raise a glass in honor of Booster...

Somewhere - Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are Bwa ha ha'ing it up with Maxwell Lord...

Somewhere...

Now I must ask how you kill someone who being from the future, should have advance knowledge of his own impending death. But then maybe he changed his own future. Time travel, it can make your head hurt...

Booster is a punk and he had it coming.

Get off my thread! :p

I'm actually pretty busy and have been a little behind here on 52 so I haven't even read it yet, I'm actually only through 13. :( Black Adam is awesome and has a cute little magic user on his arm! Cap Marvel is losing his mind and it's kind of funny. Where did this new Rock of Eternity come from though?

Week 14 was interesting. Ralph Dibny has officially lost his mind too. Pretty cool though I guess.

Because Keith Giffen loves jerking his fans around. :laugh:

I like the theory that there are 52 Earths left after IC, and Booster accidently traveled to a different one without realizing it when he went back in time.

The reserve Shadowpact members helped rebuild the Rock of Eternity after the Spectre destroyed it.

It's already been established during 52 that Skeets' knowledge of 'the past' has been corrupted, and thus, they were no longer able to correctly predict it. If nothing else, Booster 'helping out' during the end of Infinite Crisis irreversibly altered the timeline. The 'year of no Trinity' is part of this, as the first missed prediction was that a new Justice League would be formed by Supes, Bats and Wondie ...

Considering it's SO soon in 52 ... I'm thinking this is a Red Herring ... and that the true 'death' in 52 will be a different one. Unless they are going to kill off multiple main characters ... having the "which one will die?" pay off this early is sort of lame.

I haven't read the issue yet, but this only reinforces my belief that Nova is the 'other Booster' ... With Time Travel you are always going to have some things that are a bit whacky, and you have loopholes whereever you need them. [See: Supergirl and the Legion ... she can 'go join the Legion and then come back one second later' at any time ... so her presence there is actually easy to explain whenever they choose to do so].

Yup, if this death 'sticks', then Supernova is definitely Booster from another future.

Based on how SUperNova was talking to Booster in that issue, so informally, yet equally confrontational, I've got to assume that either he is another time-displaced Booster with more of a conceince, or a pre-existing hero that has a past with Booster before this conflict.

Also, Skeets did correctly predict the two major problems that happened that night, the power out and the nuculear sub.

Right now, I'm still more worried about what happened to Morrow, and why was only a single blank piece of paper left behind?

Wasn't the piece of paper the binary code to reinstall personalities into the Metal Men?

No, there were two things left in the room, actually. Look at the panel showing the inside of the room, witht he empty bookshelf. There's an envelope pinned to the bookshelf, and a piece of paper on the floor, with the envelope belonging to Doc Magnus, and the blank piece of paper being a mystery.

Accually Skeets predicted the Third Also, there was a Car Jacking remember, Booster took that Fat ladys car and threw it at the sea monster.

I still can even understand what SuperNovas powers are.

I didn't even think of it like that. It was more of a car chucking than a car jacking.

Ah. I read comics way too quickly. :ermm:

Grant Morrison said when we find out what's happened to the missing Mad Scientists, it will be one of the funniest things he was ever written in comics.

I still suspect "The Great One" from issue #6 is the old Wonder Woman villain Egg-Fu.
