Booster Gold #44 (A Flashpoint Tie-In)

Booster Gold experiences a temporal shift and finds himself stuck in the Flashpoint. Seeking answers, Booster and his drone sidekick Skeets travel to the closest community, Central City. But instead of being welcomed, the duo are attacked. Mistaken as an Atlantean scout, Booster tries to reason with the soldiers. But the time for conversation is over when Booster comes face to face with his worst nightmare- Doomsday!
The events of this issue immediately follows the miniseries Time Masters: Vanishing Point. In that story, a group of heroes lead by Booster Gold and Rip Hunter seek to rescue Bruce Wayne from being stranded in the time stream. After completing their mission  Rip and Booster return to their base of operations and find a chalkboard scribbled with tons of forewarnings to the coming Flashpoint event. That final scene is the beginning of this issue and the two books flow together seamlessly,
   Booster Gold creator Dan Jurgens did triple duty on this issue. His writing was both humorous and intriguing, his artwork masterful, and look at this cover- man, does it rock! A great tie-in to Flashpoint.

  Worth Consuming
