iFanboy recently posted a summarized version of Booster's history up to and including the New 52. Check it out if you'd like http://ifanboy.com/articles/dc-histories-booster-gold/

I saw that. Who needs an ifanboy history (which despite constantly mentioning "the reader" fails to mention any of the creators involved on teh other side of that fourth wall) when you've got Boosterrific.com?

Reading that did make me wonder whether I could select the right panels from Booster's adventures to summarize his entire career without any additional expository text. Maybe one day....

Kind of fitting into the history context:

I took a look at the timeline provided by Boosterrific.com and I think there might be a small mistake. At the end of the line is the entry for the "tie-in" to the DC one-Millionen event. To my understanding that took not place in the year 1.000.000 AD but was refering to the issue number, how the DCU would look like when their series would reach #1.000.000, which would take about 8300 years, placing the encouter with Peter Platinium somewhere after 10.000 AD.

But I never read that event and my knowledge is based on wikipedia..so I might be wrong.

Yes, there was a mistake. But it was by Geoff Johns, not me.
From my notes on the issues:

"Curiously, although Booster finds himself in the year 1,000,000 in this issue, the events of the [DC One Million] storyline took place not in the 1,000th century, but in the 853rd century, as that would be the century in which DC Comics would release Action Comics #1,000,000 (assuming issues are released continuously in consecutive months from 1998 until then)."

Sorry I did not check that issue in the database before making my comment. All blame (if there ever was) will be shifted to Johns accordingly.
