They’re B-a-a-a-a-ck!  The comedic duo of Booster Gold and the Blue Beetle reunite as Booster travels back in time to save his best friend.  The DCU will never be the same.

The All-New Booster Gold #6
Custom Rating

For five issues Booster Gold has saved the world, the DC Universe, and time itself.  But now, without the help of Rip Hunter who refuses to be a part of the endeavor, Booster travels back in time with three Blue Beetles from different time periods to save his friend Ted Kord from being killed by Maxwell Lord.

Dan Garrett, Jamie Reyes, and an unknown Blue Beetle from a future timeline show up to stop a time disturbance the Scarab has detected and help Booster save his friend’s life.  The threesome show up in the futuristic time sphere with the ability to make Solidified Time malleable enough to change.

The foursome travel back into the past to a castle in the Swiss Alps and are successful in changing time and preventing the death of Ted Kord.  The reuniting of the two heroes is great including a fun short discussion the two have while battling Lord’s troops involving his purposeful attempts to make the Justice League ineffectual.  Heh.

The issue ends with the group returning to present time with the understanding that Ted Kord must appear to remain dead in order to preserve history.  So now the greatest hero the world has never known on a mission to save time has become the two greatest heroes the world will never know.

We’ll have to wait until the next issue to see the ramifications of rescuing Ted Kord, including what actions Rip Hunter must now take and what they have to do with Booster’s ancestor, but for now I’m just happy to have the pair back and in action together.
