The All-New Booster Gold #3

One-sentence summary: The new Booster Gold series continues to be entertaining with plenty of time-travel fun.

After a couple of start-up issues, the new Booster Gold title is really starting to get rolling. In this issue, Johns gives us a rather fun, if somewhat unnecessary, scene with Jonah Hex. The writing in this series has done a good job of bouncing between the more serious story of Rip Hunter and Booster trying to stop the time criminals and the relaxed, almost silly, dialogue between Booster, his ancestor, and anyone they encounter.

The art in this series works very well. Bright, colorful, and generally solid, it doesn't try to push the series to be anything it's not.

This is a pretty nice series. I've been enjoying its mix of some humor with a strong superhero story. Hopefully it doesn't delve too far one way or another, but so far it's been good.
