    Once again I forget to put the word "Preview" in the title.

    It's looking good. I like the new Bug.
    It reads almost like an early Birds of Prey, which makes me want to see the two mini-groups team up. But without Harley.
    Just Babs, Helena and Dinah.
    Maybe throw in Nightwing to even things out.

    Dudes of Prey? I'd read it.

    Maybe not Nightwing, though. He's a little too much straight man, and a little too much like Beetle, powers/abilities wise, IMO. Someone meta might make for a more interesting balance, since neither Beetle nor Booster have actual powers.

    Now I'm just thinking of Dick and Ted talking about Babs...

    I've always thought Element Woman would work really well alongside Booster and BB.

    I never thought I'd hear about Kooey Kooey Kooey again LOL.
    I'm loving this series. I was worried about Jurgens' writing but it is exactly what I wanted out of a Blue & Gold book. And Sook's art is phenomenal.
    I really hope this does well so we can get more.

    I want to believe that Booster acting this superficial is a plot point that Jurgens will address. Over the years, Booster has evolved. Yeah, he still craves and enjoys the spotlight, but he's not been portrayed this shallow. I want to believe Jurgens knows the character well enough to not leave him this much of a cariciture.

    The character's personality has reverted back to JLI days.

    I really miss Element Woman. I’d buy anything that she’s in.

    Ah, but most of that growth I feel was following Infinite Crisis, and was written by Geoff Johns. I don't know if Jurgens, although he is obviously the OG, really has ever written a more mature Booster.

    I HOPE it will be addressed. At the moment, the series looks like it is still establishing the characters. It's still enjoyable, but I hope soon it will leave off reminding us who Blue and Gold are and get more into the story... Still, new readers need what they need.

    The artwork is top notch.
