Writer/artist Dan Jurgens will return to the character he made a fan-favorite in BOOSTER GOLD #44, which'll serve as a lead-in to the much-anticipated Flashpoint event.

See Rip Hunter's blackboard at the end of TIME MASTERS: VANISHING POINT #6? Then you know Booster's got his work cut out for him! Check out the cover to Jurgens' first issue below, chock full of Flashpoint clues.

Check out the interview with Dan Jurgens about Booster Gold and Time Masters over at Newsarama.

BOOSTER GOLD #44 is on sale in May.

Judd Winick's JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST is approaching its final act, and he's given The Source a few hints at what's coming in the final seven issues... and at what will come afterward.

Here's what he gave us:

"No story is any good without a killer ending. It’s what we remember most. And after 24 issues of JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST, after 24 issues of super heroics, super villainy, old friends, new allies, mass amnesia, nuclear explosions, and many, many, many nose bleeds, this story is coming to an end. And the ending -- is a killer. Wanna know what Max Lord’s master plan has TRULY been? You got it. Wanna see a knock down, drag out, city wide, catastrophe level, fight with the Justice League International and a few EXTREMELY powerful buddies along for the ride? It’s in here. Wanna see if Max Lord is actually going to kill Wonder Wonder? Wanna see what Bruce Wayne has to say about it? Do you want all the answers to all the questions, see the good guys face the bad, and watch Booster Gold hit Max Lord in the face a whole lot? Then you need to read the end of Generation Lost. It’s where it’s all going to end and then so much more will begin."

Remember when we announced JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST, the new, twice-monthly series from writers Judd Winick and Keith Giffen? Well, we've got some more info on the book -- including the all-star art team handling the visuals.

You’ve seen the cover. You’ve read the select interviews floating out there. And, I can imagine, you have some questions: What brings the old gang together? What do the likes of Winick and Giffen have in store? Not telling on either front. But I can tell you what artists will be bringing these stories to the page, two times a month. Deep breath. Go:

The first issue of the series will feature the artwork of Aaron Lopresti, who's no stranger to DCU readers after his epic run on WONDER WOMAN with Gail Simone. We’ll be announcing more artists as we get closer to #1 hitting, so stay tuned.

But that's not all -- in addition to the lovely Tony Harris cover above (and future covers, as Tony will be handling those duties regularly), the first issue of GENERATION LOST will feature a variant cover by none other than Kevin Maguire, who's got some experience drawing the heroes of the JLI.

Oh, and did I mention we'd have more news today? Because we will. Sit tight, folks. It's gonna be a fun Friday.

Source-rers!

At long last, the day has finally arrived: All Hallow's Eve...eve’s eve. (All right, so it's not the big day, but it's in my own best interest to write this tomb today, and not tomorrow, during DC’s Halloween festivities, as there is a very good chance that I will be covered in blood tomorrow. I may also be in costume, but that's another story.)

So are all of you boils and ghouls ready for the frightening festivities? Do you have your horror movies all picked out? Are your bags of candy ready to be opened and devoured? And what about your comics? Wanna read something that’ll make you go bump and Bwah-ha-ha in the night? In that case, check out this all-new preview page from BOOSTER GOLD #26:

Spooky. Next up is another interior page, this one from the upcoming BATMAN 80-PAGE GIANT (due out this December), in which a blizzard of unimaginable proportions blankets fair Gotham in a bed of icy white death. This frigid little tale comes courtesy of artist extraordinaire Rafa Garres and writer Kevin Shinick (of “Robot Chicken” fame…check out his “The Arkham Redemption” bit—it’s fantastic). Their tragic tale focuses on Commissioner Gordon and is called, “What Falls Below.” Take a peek:

But what’s Halloween without Doug Moench & Kelley Jones, and their moody, atmospheric, pointy-eared Batman? Here's a page from issue four of their current BATMAN: UNSEEN mini-series, which hits in a couple weeks:

Want more gratifying gruesomeness to tide you over? Well, might I then suggest SUPERMAN/BATMAN #65, which was our horrifying Halloween issue, or the jam-packed extravaganza and sure-to-be instant classic known as the DCU HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2009.

Rumor has it that the nefarious HOUSE OF MYSTERY character I…VAMPIRE makes an appearance in this little ditty, and I, for one, would like to commend the obviously brilliant and undoubtedly handsome writer who resurrected this classic creature of the night. Well done, sir!

Of course, for those of you who are looking for something you can really sink your teeth into (you know, just the other day I said I’d stop using that gag, but old habits die hard), there’s the trade paperback of SUPERMAN & BATMAN VS. VAMPIRES & WEREWOLVES from the Kevin VanHook and Tom Mandrake, each of whom is a master of horror in their own right. And speaking of MASTERS OF HORROR, this trade comes with a hauntingly good introduction from film director John Landis, whose AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON can’t be shown enough at this time of year. Enjoy!

All right, gang. That’s it for now. Gotta get some books to the printer (BATGIRL #4, I’m looking at you!), gotta talk to a few writers (have to speak with Peter Tomasi about his final issue of OUTSIDERS), and gotta start planning my Halloween costume (it’s gonna be very last-minute this year, and not nearly as intricate as some of my other years…sorry, folks).

So until next time, gang, have a Happy Halloween and try to enjoy the daylight…
