Booster Gold – DC Comics – (2007–2011) – Volume 2 - #0–47

📘 Series Summary

Launched in the aftermath of the 52 weekly series, Booster Gold Volume 2 presents the definitive "redemption" arc for Michael Jon Carter. Originally written by superstars Geoff Johns and Jeff Katz with legendary creator Dan Jurgens returning on art, this series fundamentally redefined Booster as "the greatest hero the world will never know." In order to protect the sanctity of the DC timeline, Booster must act as a secret Time Master under the tutelage of Rip Hunter, purposefully maintaining his public reputation as a shallow showboat so that time-traveling villains never suspect he is their greatest threat.

The 47-issue run is a love letter to DC history, spanning from the Old West with Jonah Hex to the tragic events of The Killing Joke. The series is perhaps most famous for the "Blue and Gold" arc, where Booster attempts the impossible: saving his best friend, Ted Kord (Blue Beetle), from his fate at the hands of Maxwell Lord. Blending heartbreaking drama with high-concept sci-fi, this volume transitioned through legendary creative teams including Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis, ultimately leading directly into the reality-shattering events of Flashpoint.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The seminal "Time Master" era, featuring Booster’s secret missions to fix the ravaged timestream.
  • Opening arc "52 Pick-Up" by Geoff Johns, establishing the high-stakes mystery of who is exploiting history.
  • Features the tragic and fan-favorite Blue and Gold reunion, dealing with the legacy of Ted Kord.
  • Includes the haunting Killing Joke tie-in (Issue #5), where Booster tries to prevent the paralysis of Barbara Gordon.
  • Contains a 10-page co-feature spotlighting the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle starting in Issue #21.
  • The final issues (#44–47) serve as a critical Flashpoint tie-in, with Booster as the only hero who remembers the world before the shift.
