Dan Jurgens, who has written and/or drawn almost every solo Booster Gold solo adventure DC Comics have ever published since creating the hero nearly 30 years ago, will return to the character for DC Comics’s Five Years Later event in September.Five Years Later, which spins out of the The New 52: Futures End miniseries Jurgens is co-writing and on which he serves as one of a number of artists — is similar to DC’s zero issues and villain issues, in that it is a line-wide event meant to commemorate the September launch of the New 52 following DC’s Flashpoint event storyline. Like last year’s Villains Month event which kicked off Forever Evil, the Five Years Later issues will feature 3-D covers.The Jurgens/Booster Gold connection was established in an interview with Newsarama in support of Saturday’s Free Comic Book Day issue of Futures End. Asked whether Booster — a character who comes from the future and served as a “Time Master” in his most recent series — will appear in the upcoming story, which takes place in a dystopian near-future, Jurgens replied that he would.
