About this Collection

This volume concludes the 2007 Booster Gold series, collecting issues #26–47 of the time-traveling hero's adventures. Booster Gold, alongside his robotic sidekick Skeets, navigates the complexities of the DC Universe's timeline, often correcting historical anomalies and teaming up with classic heroes. The collection wraps up storylines involving the Time Stealers and Booster's personal journey as a reluctant guardian of history.

In "Vicious Cycle, Part One," Booster Gold ventures back to a decade prior, retracing his steps through a pivotal moment with Supernova and Jason Goldstein—this time staying hidden to alter fate. As he races to ensure Barry Allen becomes the Flash, he encounters a mysterious sword and a cryptic chronal being who steals it before vanishing. Written and illustrated by Dan Jurgens, with inks by Norm Rapmund and colors by Hi-Fi, the issue’s cover by Jurgens and Rapmund captures the tension of a timeline unraveling.
