who later, even more mysteriously, disappeared from the cover in the final solicitations of the book. check it out, that blind spot right next to apparent team leader Booster Gold:
now, speculation about the mystery woman's identity raged from
Donna Troy to
Gupsy, but the answer was quite different and indeed fairly obvious and had actually just been revealed that very same week in the pages of
Booster Gold #45. BG#45 was a Flashpoint tie-in issue, written by
Dan Jurgens, who also happens to be writing
Justice League International #1.
madness!
it only really took me so long to realise because I hadn't read BG #45 until tonight. and cockiness aside, I'm surprised noone else made the connection. then again, it may have required a Greek to spot another. see, inside the pages of that issue, we're introduced to a miss
Alexandra Gianopoulos, a Greek woman through whose house Booster Gold plummets during his fight with the Flashpoint version of Doomsday.
Alexandra proves to be more than collateral almost-damage as after the fight with Doomsday Booster Gold drops her to her cabin for a spot of to-know-us-better and knife-waving
introductions are made, niceties are dispersed, and Booster Gold is on his merry way, with the reader (well, this reader anyway) being left wondering what was the point of wasting all this page space introducing a stranger civilian character, and so close to the title's cancelation.
but LO AND BEHOLD, as soon as Booster flees the scene, miss Giannopoulos puts on a light show of her own and flies off to do some superheroing of her own, green glow, dramatic origins and everything:
(well it really depends on your individual definition of superheroing of course, as her first act of derring-do is to shoot at a U.S.AirForce air carrier. I'll still side with my homegirl on this one tho, that nasty big plane had it coming!)
so, how do you figure? Greek conspiracy or wishful thinkgeek?
