I almost wish that JL:GL was released on the opposite two weeks than what it is... that would mean only one week off a month rather than two!
That said, a new comic book day is here, and no new Booster. Of course, that means only one short week until we have a new book to gobble down!
The guy at Boosterrific has a link to an article in USA Today... it seems that Judd Winick was interviewed about the new bi-weekly series.
I like what he says about the new relationship between Blue Beetle and Booster. While it will certainly be a different dynamic than Ted and Booster, Jamie has grown quite a bit since he acquired the scarab; Booster is way more "in the know" than Jamie and that could make for more of a master/student thing, though in a very Booster-like way. Sort of a lighter Batman and Robin (actually I have some thoughts there that I'll share later).
Regardless, I've felt that their relationship has been underplayed ever since Infinite Crisis. Booster is, in a lot of ways, the reason that Jamie is a superhero. The scarab had some nasty influences working on it, and had Booster not grabbed him right away and put him in with the white hats, who knows what could have happened?
I was very hopeful when he showed up in the Blackest Night tie-in, but then we saw nothing more after that. This is why I was quite encouraged at BB's appearance at the end of last week's Justice League issue. Also (SPOILER ALERT!), note the cover of next week's issue - featuring Jamie Reyes' BB in the foreground and the Ted Kord BB as a background. All signs point to it -
The Blue and the Gold will rise again!
