GEOFF JOHNS SHARES BOOSTER GOLD THOUGHTS
Reached for comment Friday evening about the new Booster Gold series announced by Dan Didio at their LA DC Nation panel, writer Geoff Johns shared some brief thoughts on the new series…
“I won’t say much right now, but I loved writing Booster Gold in 52,” wrote Johns, “Absolutely loved him. Especially in 52 - week 52, where he’s extremely prominent. Dan Jurgens created a brilliant character way ahead of his time. So I had ideas for a Booster Gold book. In the same vein as the Power Girl arc in JSA: Classified and Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. or Quantum Leap and Doctor Who. We need more time travel!! And the idea made Booster Gold the link between 52 and Countdown. The first arc is called “52 Pick-Up!” and deals with the ramifications of the ending of 52. What new things appear, how and why, etc.
“So who’s Jeff Katz? Do a quick Google search and you’ll see. He wrote
for Image Comics and he’s a film producer and executive. His background
speaks for himself. I met him in L.A. Jeff’s mom and mine knew each
other in Detroit before we were even born. His instincts are great. His
humor is contagious. He loves the DC Universe as much as I do. And
Jeff’s favorite character is Booster Gold. Ever since the Justice League International days. So against all of Dan Didio’s wishes, we’re giving a JLI member their own monthly book.“What else can I say? A bar fight with Jonah Hex, the world’s greatest
Green Lantern Guy Gardner’s first day on the job, the Justice League
International, Rip Hunter, a last page that will rival Justice Society of America’s and…Supernova?“I co-wrote the proposal with Jeff Katz and am co-writing for at least
the first few issues, but this will really be Jeff’s book.“And I can’t say more about Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund. We wouldn’t
have a Booster Gold without Dan and Norm is the icing on the cake. More
from all of us next week!!”
