Showcase Presents...Booster Gold?!?
 

Yeah, that's right. I just noticed this on Amazon. Scheduled for March 26, 2008, it's 624 pages of black & white BOOSTER GOLD reprint goodness. What is the world made DC decide to do a Booster Gold collection? That blows my mind. Apparently it collects his 1980's title (however many issues that ran).

If they are doing BG, I wish they would hurry up and do a Justice League Europe or even a Firestorm Showcase Presents collection.

Booster Gold vol. 1 ran for only 25 issues so I think this Showcase will include the entire run in one volume. I'm planning on getting this because BG's book was one of the "so-bad-it's-good" titles, IMO.

And DC probably decided to reprint these because BG is now starring in his own title again.

Yeah i saw this in previews, its a must have :)

Though I agree a few volumes of Firestorm would be great.

That's part of it. The other part of it is that DC's royalty structure on its 80s and late 70s titles are apparently a pain for DC to deal with. Booster Gold has the advantage of being by one creator -- Dan Jurgens -- so they only have to deal with him, instead of having to deal with 5 or 10 different creators.

I'll bet my ORIGINALS of Booster Gold (I have the entire series) ends up selling for less on ebay than this reprint b&w edition costs.

Sigh.
