Booster Gold #18
In "Reality Lost, Part IV of IV," Dan Jurgens crafts a tense, time-twisting finale where two versions of Booster Gold—past and present—race across eras to confront the truth behind the chronal being, revealed as Jason Goldstein. As the current Booster investigates the ancient origins of a mysterious sword in Egypt, the earlier Booster sends Goldstein through a time portal to face his fate, setting up a climactic clash of timelines. Dan Jurgens' writing and art, with Norm Rapmund's inks and Hi-Fi's colors, bring the emotional weight and urgency of a hero grappling with destiny, while the cover by Jurgens and Rapmund captures the moment's gravity.
