Oct 21, 2021While most heroes are great to read about, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are the kind of heroes that it would be fun to hang out with. Despite their propensity to get in trouble, they have an endearing quality that Jurgens captures perfectly. Blue & Gold is the kind of entertaining fun that we don't see enough of in comics anymore.

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Oct 12, 2021Both Booster and Beetle have been through rough times, but they've rarely been the spotlight of their own books in recent years. That gives Jurgens, who created one and defined the other, the chance to give them their most grown-up story yet. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Oct 12, 2021Despite its flaws, Blue and Gold thrives with its two leads. Jurgens just needs to ease up on the beating down Booster Gold and emoji-fueled weapons/texts and allow readers a chance to see why his leads are still so revered. Read Full Review

Oct 13, 2021The constant crowd chatter and social media comments scattered throughout the panels tend to be distracting. I get that it's tied to the gimmick of the comic and the distracting peanut gallery is supposed to be the point, but it doesn't really add much to anything and is starting to wear out its welcome.

Oct 18, 2021A stumble in writing and a steep drop-off in art make for an incredibly disappointing issue of "Blue and Gold." Read Full Review

Still so much fun. I'm absolutely loving the 90s-style-comic-for-2021 feel to this book. I wasn't much of a fan of Dan Jurgens prior to this book, and this is completely 180-ing my opinion on him as a writer.

I'm really bored by this miniseries at the moment. It's not funny, and the stakes are nonexistent, even though they should be readily apparent.

Not the best outing here. Bad art, and the social media commentary is really grating and distracting. One high point here is the return of Trixie/Terri all the way back from th old 80s Booster series. I wish we got more character moments like that instead of an incredibly boring villain with ho-hum dialogue. I feel that a Matt Fraction or a Mark Russell could have made hay from this setup.

I didn't like this and Sook wasn't actually on the art, which sucked because the art was pretty ugly.

Oof, I'm not going to lie, This issue was ROUGH! This felt like an issue straight out of the 80's and not in a good way. The writing was wordy and it looks like we're in for a fight with a generic villain throughout the rest of the mini-series. The art was definitely a step down but I was eventually able to get over it. The truth is that I wanted to like this issue but I just kept stopping halfway through the book and starting over throughout the course of multiple days. If the series doesn't rebound in issue number 4, I may have to drop this from my list because, as much as I love Booster and the Beetle, I don't know that I can justify dropping another 20 dollars on this title. UPDATE: Definitely picked up during the following iss more
