In my mad dash to snatch up as many Lantern Corps rings as
possible I read some bad comic books.  Luckily,
Booster Gold was not one them.  I enjoyed
the first tie-in so much that I couldn’t wait to read this issue.  Unlike some of the other tie-ins this issue
really worked on the emotional level the others were trying for.  I remember when Ted Kord died in Infinite
Crisis, well right before it, and I remember Booster struggling to deal with
it.  Hell, I struggled to deal with it
and I hardly knew the character at that point. 
This story is really about a guy who misses his friend and is now
confronted with facing his memories and his friend – literally.  Emotional and smart, these issues were a
fantastic side story to the massive event of Blackest Night.  I think I’ll keep reading this even without the Blackest Night banner on the cover.
