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.

A solid follow up to 52 Pick-up. It contains a recap at the beginning of the book of the previous volume, which i'm always calling for collected editions to do. Nice story, a little cliche what with the "man goes back in time to stop death of friend, world changes for the worse, friend sacrifices himself to change world back." Nice ideas with the Zero Hour and DC One Million tie in issues. A few extras at the back aswell. Excellent value for money, highly recommended.
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...more

While it was nice seeing Blue and Gold back together again the end of this tale is the correct one for the time traveling Booster. Plus, we get another hint as to who Rip Hunter might really be. If you like Booster Gold then pick up the trade. I would say this is not for the casual reader of DC Comics, but for someone who like the character of Booster Gold.
Booster attempts to rescue his friend Ted (blue Beetle) Kord from his death at the hands of Max Lord, only to shunt the world into an OMAC-filled nightmare. Booster must now assemble the former JLI in order to set things back to normal.
Another great volume. Booster gets his friend back, but at the cost of everybody else. He also finally gets some acknowledgement for what he has gone through. An emotionally charged storyline.
Not as stupid as I thought it would be.
It's nothing I would recommend to anyone (unless I run into a rabid Booster Gold fan), but it was way better than I expected.

As a fan of Booster's from back in the JLI days, it's good to see him come into his own.
Paradoxes and a JLI reunion. Who can hate it?
Geoff Johns continues to write a really good Booster story. Not your typical DCU story, and its fun to see Booster continue to grow and realize there is more to being a Superhero than making a quick buck. Also has some nice twists along the way.
This book series is better and better with each new addition, and I can't wait until the next one comes out.
