I just love Booster Gold. His story is so sad: he's probably the most important superhero in history, but he has to pretend to be a loser so that his time-traveling enemies don't kill him before he was born. His friendship with Ted Kord is one of my favorite DC friendships, and anything showcasing it (like this book heavily does) is something I'm going to love.
The idea of bringing all three Blue Beetles together is cool, but Dan Garrett didn't really do much. If they gave him a more pivotal role, it would have worked way better.
The book was resolved pretty well, I think. The big reveal about Rip was shocking (well, it was the first time I read it), and the stuff with Batman was as touching as it was relieving. And the last page before the epilogue was so nice and so, so sad.
Dan Jurgens is one of my favorite comic artists, especially on Booster Gold. No one, in my opinion, draws him better.

Overall this book was a lot of fun and I liked it but i would of liked it if it was more flash out. Both the pace of plot and the ending was okay. I like the characters and the art work also I liked the cover of book.

Boring, flat and predictable. At least the art was pretty.

Good art, good story. The time travel rules seem shaky at best, though.

Ow. I never thought I would want to cry over Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, but you know what I'm doing? Exactly that! All Booster wants is to save his best friend and instead the world is thrown into chaos because of it. Why can't these two be happy! And Alive!
Also fuck you New 52! Booster and Ted have never interacted at all yet, and probably don't even know about each other's existence!

Books like this one are the reason I've been apprehensive about jumping into the DC Universe. I've been reading Marvel books for years, so I know a lot of the weird, obscure plot points and odd continuity of that world; not so much when it comes to DC books. So, now that Booster Gold has become a Time Master -- keeping nefarious ones from screwing up the established DC continuity -- I can tell there's a lot I'm missing out on.
I really don't know anything about Maxwell Lord or Ted Kord or Supernova or the Flash's origins or any of that shit. So, when someone decides to screw with it, I don't really care, because I don't have much invested in the characters.
Oh well...I'm madly in Love with Booster Gold, and with Dan Jurgen's wonderful 'superhero' style. So, I'll probably keep reading this one.
