Booster Gold was an ongoing monthly DC Comics comic book series featuring the eponymous superhero Booster Gold, created by Dan Jurgens. This article is about the second Booster Gold series which began publication in October 2007. After twelve issues, co-writers Geoff Johns and Jeff Katz left the series, leaving Jurgens as the main writer and artist, along with Norm Rapmund as co-artist. With #32, Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis, who wrote the 1980s Justice League International series (of which Booster was a part) took over the series, and was joined by Chris Batista as interior artist and former JLI artist Kevin Maguire as cover artist for #32-36. Giffen, DeMatteis and Batista left the series with #43 and were replaced by a returning Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund, who provided the final storyarc of the series, a Flashpoint crossover story. The series ended in August 2011 with issue #47.
52 Pick-Up is the first story arc (issues 1-6) of the series. Booster traveled through the ravaged time stream with Skeets and Rip Hunter to repair the damage done during 52 and to stop a group of supervillains that were exploiting temporal anomalies to eliminate the world's greatest heroes. Booster failed to save Barbara Gordon from being paralyzed and wished to try again, but Rip told him that the event was fated. Angry at Rip and wanting to save Ted Kord after Rip refused, Booster is visited by Dan Garret, Jaime Reyes, and a future Blue Beetle.
Blue and Gold covered issues 0, 7-10, and 1000000. Booster tried to save his best friend, Ted Kord, from being murdered, but the resulting change to the time stream created a wormhole of problems. Realizing the time stream would never be right as long as he's alive, Ted sacrifices his life. Rip perked Booster up by showing him that he had rescued his sister, Michelle, unbeknownst to her.
