Hey thor2168, a couple of us were throwing around the "Rip is Booster" idea during 52! I'd say I'm less inclined to believe it now that 52 has passed, but it's still an interesting theory!!

Yes this is a good book! I fear it might get confusing (considering it deals with time travel...), but right now, I can fully enjoy it. I especially like the tiny panels from the past like the infamous Phantasm/Pantha Teen Titans. Makes the DCU feel more consistent.

Seeing Booster get hammered with Jonah Hex was great! Don't drink and drive in the time-stream!

I was slightly disappointed with issue number 4. I was starting to get used to Infectious Lass' one panel appearances.

So this issue, as mentioned on a couple of other threads, we get "Lightning Saga(s) Strike Twice? 3000+8" on Rip Hunter's chalkboards, and he tells Rex Hunter his lab is complete with Brainiac 5's 31st century computer tech. That's about all the Legion-y goodness tied to #5.
However, we do find out the evil time trio (Ultra-Humanite, Despero, & Per Degaton) are behind the space-time continuum disruptions. I'm sure they are leading us back to the next Lightning Saga, seeing as how they made a few cameos during the first one (that didn't seem to tie in there at the time...).
Gotta love a big tapestry. Next issue, Booster and Beetle, back together. Tragically, I'm sure the reunion is destined to be brief, as this very issue Rip tries to demonstrate to Michael that some things are absolute.
Still enjoying this book quite a bit!

As a huge Barbara Gordon fan, this issue punched me in the gut... Booster's repeated attempts to right the percieved wrong of her crippling at the hands of the Joker, in vain... His frustration was mine, even though I have the outsider's knowledge of Babs doing much more good as Oracle than she did as Batgirl.
Great issue.

Yes it was... Booster Gold has been a really good read since the relaunch. I'm especially digging the "done in 1"-- sorta-- approach. Very refreshing!

Still DC's best ongoing comic, beating out even JSA, Green Lantern and Jonah Hex!
Not much praise I can add that hasn't already been added, other than Jurgen's art hasn't looked this good since his Superman run with Brett Breeding inks.

I'm stoked, I don't know about the rest of you! Booster 6 was quite a treat, although I don't trust the "future" Blue Beetle (from the 27th century). I feel like he's got an ulterior, sinister motive that hasn't reared it's head yet. Rip doesn't like what Booster and the Beetles are trying to do, and his paranoias are usually dead on! I think this issue, while I enjoyed the end very much, is going to ultimately go the route of "be careful what you wish for"... (like the Return of Barry Allen twist, etc.)
Whatever! I'm along for the ride!

I'm also loving the time-travel fun that gives us the 'Beetles'. Ted & Booster together again is a treat.

I read # 0, and 7-8 last night, they were GREAT... love how Booster is apparently getting retroactive ZERO HOUR and DC 1 MILLION issues, and the upcoming JLI issue will be a must-get.
Beetle's sort-of death-wish seems to be some pretty heavy foreshadowing... and yeah, I can't recall Jurgen's art looking this good since Perez inked it.
