4. Booster Gold

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Dan Jurgens

Since the announcement that Marvel Legend Brian Michael Bendis was signed to write for DC Comics, people have been speculating about the books he’ll write.

Most people have been asking about huge, A-List titles, but I think that’s the opposite direction they should go. Bendis has always been at his best (Spider-Man excepted) when he was writing for the B or C-list. Even when he took over the Avengers for his famous run, he threw Luke Cage and Spider-Woman in there. So I wanted to give Bendis a high-action book that was very funny and packed with chances to experiment with DC History.

And so, Booster Gold. Throughout history, Booster’s various solo series have been incredibly good comic books. His first 25-issue series is a hidden gem of the nineteen-eighties’ DCU, and the sprawling 48-issue book that spun out of 52 was fantastically good. In addition, artist Dan Jurgens has been Booster’s shepherd for decades, and he deserves to still be a part of where the character is headed.

A great character and a great opportunity.
