Very enjoyable. The first volume sets the stage and this volume is status quo. Lots of fun adventures through the history of the DCU, including the death of The Ravager and Coast City. Also- Vol 1 and 2 spines match up to form the Booster Gold chest star, which needs to be worth at least half a point!

This volume just didn’t hit as hard as the last one, which is funny considering that this was written by Dan Jurgens. I think that was because most of the time travel missions actually didn’t leave an impact on booster and just weren’t as fun since most of them aren’t specific references to an iconic Dc event. The entire Reality Lost story was way too long, boring, and convoluted. Then, the Titans story was way too short for the amount of stakes that it had and I didn’t even have fun with most of the one off episodic stories like when he’s taken as a prisoner of war, the Dick as Batman story or when he goes back to the 50s/60s (I don’t remember). I liked the elastic man one since it was just a mystery, and the book really picked up steam at the end with the Blackest Night tie-ins and the Coast City story. Even then though, we had kind of already touched on Ted on the previous book (even though I really liked the funeral scene), and the Coast City story opens up a can of worms that it doesn’t have the time to properly discuss which made Michelle forgiving Booster that quickly incredibly unrealistic. I didn’t have a horrible time with the book, so it’s 3 star worthy but none of the stories were that memorable and I found a great amount of them annoying. A final nitpick would be that I don’t know why Batman is brought up so much during the series and I certainly don’t understand why they teased another Batman arc at the end of this. I get that Dan Jurgens just probably likes writing him but it’s becoming repetitive.
