Blue & Gold is a good start to a new series that has its own vibe and will satisfy Booster Gold and Blue Beetle fans. Dan Jurgens immediately captures the personalities of both characters impeccably well, and the book has a uniqueness that sets it apart from anything else DC Comics is doing right now.

But while this first issue doesn't blow the doors off, it does feel like a tribute to an era of DC that we all remember fondly. Read Full Review
Ryan Sook uses detailed drawings and an abundance of color to capture the tone of the story. The artwork in this issue is as vibrant as the main characters. And the action scenes are well done and exciting. I was completed engaged throughout the tale. Read Full Review
This is a fun opening chapter to what should be a solid superhero series. Read Full Review
The potential with Blue and Gold is obvious. If Jurgens avoids taking the easy route in making Booster a walking punchline this could be one of the standout new DC titles in 2021. Read Full Review
Blue & Gold #1 is a fun debut. It has a nice mix of classic DC and modern DC setting this duo on their new adventure. The comic brings something to DC's line we're not getting anywhere else and is a solid addition to the superhero lineup. Here's hoping there are some bigger plans for them beyond these issues because based on this debut, this is a team that we'll want to see more of when this adventure wraps up. Read Full Review
While I'm a bit confused to the ages of our heroes here (or just how much of their version of the Justice League existed in the current DC timeline), it's a joy to see these two back together again. Blue and Gold #1 if a fun read, and will no doubt appeal to those still nostalgic over these heroes (now bring back Booster's Elvis collar, please). Read Full Review
No matter your expectations going into Blue and Gold #1, you are guaranteed a fun time. Read Full Review
If you're looking for a fun book I'm guessing you should look no further than Blue and Gold, but even though it is fun, I was looking for something a little deeper out of these characters who feel stuck in place whenever they're used and would have liked Ted Kord's heart condition to used as something more than a throwaway callback before simply moving on. That being said, I look forward to the rest of this series because I do love these characters and I love the art here, I just hope we can more out of Michael and Ted growth-wise as we keep going.

The plot is interesting and the art is truly lovely, but the dialogue feels very pedestrian and expository, and Booster's reversion to type feels very abrupt. Still, it's good to see them back. Read Full Review
It was such a fun reading
I had an absolute blast with this.
An enjoyable read with good art. I will definitely come back for issue 2 and see where it goes.
This is a good delivery, many will say why? well it's fun, relaxing, with good images and palette.
This was a lot of fun. I feel like Jurgens is the only writer who can write Booster Gold correctly (not surprising since he created the character). His comedy and personality really get to shine again, and it's refreshing to read a fun buddy cop superhero book. The art is also really good from Ryan Sook. Super happy that these two heroes are back and teaming up again.
The boys are back!
People always called Booster Gold a superhero influencer and now he's going onto social media. Sure this might seem like a regression after his time traveling days and being a timekeeper. But... after all the drama with Heroes In Crisis, maybe it's time to go back to basics with some light hearted times. Besides, having Ted Kord around to be the straight man is always good, especially since he needs a win after the events of Taylor's Suicide Squad.
This hits some of the same notes as Justice League International; not only that this duo fills niches the Justice League doesn't touch. It feels like it's good to just live in the moment with these two.
Blue and the Gold! The fun book I've been waiting for. Alittle confused by boosters personality. What happened to the greatest hero we've never heard of?
I usually don't like when a writer decides to throw in tweets and cringy stuff like that but here it was fun all around. This isn't a groundbreaking book or anything but it's comedy at its best. I've missed these guys and this is a welcome return!
A surprisingly interesting story that helps fleshes out the characters
Eh, this was fine. I don't really find this very entertaining, but it's not bad. I prefer this Booster Gold to the Sad Boi Booster of Heroes in Crisis. I still prefer 52 Booster to this though. It could go either way from here.
The book is alright. I think the last few pages of this issue is where the book shines best. It took me a minute to get used to B&B’s dynamic. Other than that, this first issue is interesting. Booster is trying to become famous as usual & BB is dealing with regret & failure because his father is dead and he thinks he let him down. The ending has them set up their own version of “Heroes For Hire.” They care about working for the little man, etc. Also the aliens that tried to kidnap the JL will return because the heroes that stopped them didn't know that Earth is owned by another race of beings. Earth is within their territory.Overall, the story is ok but it has potential.
