It's the Rolling Better Half of Booster!"<BR/><BR/>I saw it and I don't buy it. The whole layout was put up yesterday, I'm guessing to pair up with 5.2 Questions. First, the DC logo is the old bullet and it and the DC offices address are skewed in slightly different angles. After a few years, one would think that they would have phased out the old letterhead. <BR/><BR/>Secondly, the hole punches on the side are the exact same on each of the 'alternate ending's' pages. Slightly more to the left or the right in each case but they are the same double-punch each time. <BR/><BR/>Third, why the use of red 'Do not use"? It just seems really weird that they used the red.<BR/><BR/>Add to the fact that DiDio gave that whole arrogant interview about Booster not being with the times and his story is fully told, I just get the sense that this is all an elaborate misdirection.<BR/><BR/>Or I could just be nuts. I need some hobbies.<BR/><BR/>JamieJamie Otthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375226905114563462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1156942184489749582006-08-30T07:49:00.001-05:002006-08-30T07:49:00.001-05:00The new Justice League?Uh uh.
