The Gold Exchange: Dan Jurgens Talks Booster Gold #47 and the End of the DCU

The final issue of Booster Gold hit the stands this week, bringing to a close the adventures of Booster Gold, Time Master in the present-day DCU. Whether this issue turns out to be the first appearance of the new DCU or the swan song of the old, one thing appears clear–both Booster Gold and Alexandra Gianapolous found a way home from the Flashpoint Universe, even if only Alexandra remembers what came before. The real question is whether she–or Booster’s fellow Time Masters Rip Hunter and Michelle Carter–will still exist after August 31.Written by Dan Jurgens, this week’s issue features guest art by Rick Leonardi and Don Ho and a few pages of epilogue by Jurgens and Rapmund. Sometime soon, Dan Jurgens and series finishing artist Norm Rapmund will join me on Panel Discussions to talk about the series and take calls from listeners. Watch for more information on the main page! Until then, though, see what he has to say about this week’s series wrap-up.The Gold Exchange: Last thing’s first, as you got to draw it–is it just me or does Booster instantaneously segue between the old and new DC Universes? His mindset seems to shift very fast after he gets to Vanishing Point. Are we seeing the birth of the new Booster, not remembering being a Time Master, or was he only confused to be there because he departed from Rip’s and that’s where he planned to end up?
