Or so Booster Gold #1 would let us believe. Look at the evidence (contains spoilers):1-This book is DENSE compared to most superhero books on the shelves today, so it's the opposite of Meltzer's decompression style. (I'd also say that having characters actually be in character is also unlike Meltzer, but that would be mean. I'll let the comic make my point for me.)
2-Meltzer's version of the Justice League shows up. Says Rip Hunter Time Master about this line-up: "This isn't the greatest the League will ever be."
3-Booster on Geo-Force being on the team: "Come on, if freaking Geo-Force is on the team, I definitely deserve a spot."
4-A dig at the Justice Leaguers calling each other by name:
I mean, anytime someone drops the Bruce-bomb on Batman, it's got to hurt, right?
5-Rip Hunter recruits Booster to get at whoever is screwing up continuity, which means DC admits that continuity is screwed up. I'll let you guess who he thinks is one of the culprits.
6-How does Johns pay for this, karmically? He attacks his own Infinite Crisis through Rip Hunter: "Punching history, please." (Which he still finds ridiculous to believe.)
7-He further admits his mistake in helping kill Ted Kord: Booster's price for his sacrifice is that the events of Countdown to Infinite Crisis be undone and that Blue Beetle gets to live. Booster also goes and mentions Wonder Woman's out-of-character killing of Maxwell Lord and it's a sore point.
So there you have it. Either Johns is calling Meltzer out, or Booster Gold spends a lot of time reading the blogs. Rip Hunter too, since according to his newest blackboard: "Don't worry about Countdown... focus elsewhere."
