As artist (and Booster Gold creator) Dan Jurgens notes in his introduction, Booster was created to reflect the greedy ethos of the 1980s even as he worked toward redemption, it still remained that Booster came from slimy beginnings. In fact, Johns and Katz work to redeem Booster so far, I felt at times he became too likable.
The writers write one of their best stories early on, where Booster meets a young Guy Gardner and finds they have more similarities than differences Guy's problems with his family offer the reader insight into Booster's own. As far out as the stories get here, they all in some way relate back to Booster's character (much as Johns paralleled the Flash and his Rogues, or Hal Jordan and the rebuilding of Coast City). That Booster Gold works, however, shouldn't be such a surprise, given that the elements within are the same tried-and-true methods that brought writer Geoff Johns (with Jeff Katz) success in Flash and Green Lantern. I guess it's true that there's indeed no such thing as a bad character, just bad concepts taking Booster from Justice League cut-up to guardian of time (and still a cut-up) is a great concept, indeed.
