Booster Gold 43

Ah, I’m about to read my first Booster Gold comic. Let’s read the portents. Keith Giffen? He’s done some good stuff, some bad. JM DeMatteis? Never liked his writing. All bathetic poetics or studiedly unfunny zaniness. Chris Batista? Rich Perrotta? Never heard of them, but the cover isn’t the abomination that you see on many other comics. Mmmmm – this one could go either way.

Atlas Comics? I remember them the first time around. They were third rate imitators of Marvel and DC comics and it was a company that appeared and disappeared within a matter of months. These days they’re a curio, recalled with the odd sort of nostalgia that you reserve for the sort of object that you know wasn’t very good but which evokes pleasurable memories anyway.
