After 4 issues of fill-ins, this felt like a return to form for this title.

Seriously, if you left the title after Johns/Katz left, this is a good time to return, as Jurgens fills the books with the same trademark humor (Booster flees Medieval Italians! Booster ponders his toyline!) and heart (specifically, a scene where guest star Ralph Dibny asks Booster about his future with Sue, and Booster ponders his response carefully.)

There's also a new mysterious villain (we don't know anything about him, except that he's shadowy and pink), and the typical amount of action.

Plus, Michelle poses for Leonardo Da Vinci.

Yes, it was good stuff, although I'd prefer Booster go off on his own tangent for awhile, not so dependent on the rest of the DCU to "boost' him up. HA HA HA HA I AM FUNNY. No seriously, I have hopes that this arc will take us off in very odd time-traveling directions not so dependent on the rest of the DCU and perhaps might bring some of Booster's old supporting cast back... Trixie anyone?

Very good issue, definately on par with John's run. Looking forward to where Jurgens is going to be taking Booster

I haven't read it yet, I've been buying it even after Johns left and with each issue becoming more and more disappointing, I've been holding out in hopes that Jurgens would turn the book around, sounds like he is onto something. Glad I stuck with it.

Great change of pace book fomr all the Dark stuff.

Good to see Ralph back in action and someone call him on his superhero name it is one of the worst ever.

Fun issue. I'm really digging this book. Weird, because I didn't think I'd like this title, but it's been consistently good.

This was a lot of fun, much better than the okay fillers. I really like the dynamics between Booster and his sister. It's too bad Ted never got to meet Michelle, I think that could have been a pretty funny meeting.
