DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection #116
"Blau und Gold - Kapitel 1: Der geheime Ursprung von Booster Gold" delivers a pulse-pounding dive into Booster Gold’s past, written by Geoff Johns and Steve Kups with art by Dan Jurgens and inks by Norm Rapmund. When the time-traveling team is caught in a clash between Extant and Parallax, a damaged time sphere strands them in the 25th century—right on the day Booster Gold’s desperate game could change his father’s fate. Cover by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund captures the moment’s tension, setting up a story where the past and future collide, and the present is no longer what it was.
In "Blau und Gold - Kapitel 1: Der geheime Ursprung von Booster Gold," Booster Gold and Ted Kord are thrust into a high-stakes chase through time when their journey collides with Extant and Parallax. Forced to crash-land in the 25th century during a pivotal moment in Booster’s past, they must steal the Time Sphere from the Time Museum to survive—leaving Dan Garrett and Jaime Reyes behind with no memory of the adventure. When Booster and Ted return to the present, they find their world transformed by an overwhelming O.M.A.C. presence.
In "Blau und Gold - Kapitel 2: OMACS," Booster Gold and Blue Beetle return to a present overrun by O.M.A.C.s, seeking refuge in the abandoned JLI headquarters in London. There, Catherine Colbert updates them on the escalating threat—just before she transforms into an O.M.A.C. and turns on them. With the underground rising to save them in the forms of Hawkman and Green Arrow, the stakes surge as the past collides with the present: the Black Beetle from the 27th century retrieves Booster’s father and brings him to a secret meeting of the Time Stealers at the Vanishing Point.
In "Blau und Gold - Kapitel 3: Freiheitskämpfer," after a failed assault on Checkmate’s fortress, Booster and Beetle activate a Mother Box to open a Boom Tube to the long-abandoned New York headquarters of the Justice League International, where Booster makes a bold move to reunite the original team. The story unfolds with urgency and quiet determination, grounded in the weight of legacy and the fragile hope of a second chance.
In "Blau und Gold - Kapitel 4: Genau wie in alten Zeiten," Booster und Beetle reunite the original Justice League International to confront Max, only to face a surprising twist as an unexpected hero brings his plans to a close—before the team must turn their focus to a new threat in the form of the Time Stealers.
In "Blau und Gold - Kapitel 5: Psychospiele," Booster Gold's unraveling timeline forces him to confront the true mastermind behind the Time Stealers, as his very existence begins to flicker. With Rip Hunter, Daniel, and Rose racing to stabilize his fractured past, Blue Beetle returns to face the consequences of his own choices—no longer just a hero, but a man at war with time itself.
In the distant future, Booster Gold—lost after altering his own timeline by saving Ted Kord—meets Peter Platinum, a fan who sees him as a hero. When Rip, Daniel, and Rose pull him back to the present, Booster’s frustration leads him to Las Vegas, where he confronts the Royal Flush Gang before Batman reveals he’s always known Booster’s act is just a performance. Reinvigorated, Booster returns to Rips’ lab for a moment he never expected.
In "Der Absturz," Booster Gold takes a rare break from film deals and brand expansion to focus on doing good—just a quiet moment of heroism before the next big move. Written by a team known for sharp wit and kinetic energy, the story captures Booster at his most unguarded, where even a short pause can lead to something unexpected.
