Not strictly a Booster subject as I mean all the tie ins except his title, although you never know where he'll show up. Anyone getting the main story or the tie ins? I've been considering them since I read the DC Source page. Just not sure what to get. I've never been into getting all the tie ins and haven't really gotten into any events outside of things with BG in them. (Saves lots of money that way.) But I thought this sounds like fun and hey, it might have a few Booster appearances so why not.

Well, if you see any Booster appearances, let me know.

I've stated before my aversion to "alternate history" events, and the similar "Age of Apocalypse" storyline drove me away from Marvel Comics to this day. So I will be buying none of FLASHPOINT unless someone informs me of a Booster cameo.

For the record, I suppose we should get a list of FLASHPOINT books so we can figure out where we might see Booster.

From DC's PDF FLASHPOINT checklist part 1 (covering books shipping through June).

May:
FLASHPOINT #1
BOOSTER GOLD #44 (I'm sure there's Booster in this one.)

June:
FLASHPOINT #2
FLASHPOINT: BATMAN - KNIGHT OF VENGEANCE #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: SECRET 7 #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: ABIN SUR - THE GREEN LANTERN #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: WORLD OF FLASHPOINT #1 (of 3)

FLASHPOINT: EMPEROR AQUAMAN #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: DEATHSTROKE AND THE CURSE OF THE RAVAGER #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: FRANKENSTEIN & THE CREATURES OF THE UNKNOWN #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: CITIZEN COLD #1 (of 3)
BOOSTER GOLD #45 (I suspect Booster is in this one, too.)

FLASHPOINT: WONDER WOMAN AND THE FURIES #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: DEADMAN AND THE FLYING GRAYSONS #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: LEGION OF DOOM #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: GRODD OF WAR #1 (Seriously? This isn't a title, it's a punchline.)

FLASHPOINT: LOIS LANE AND THE RESISTANCE #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: THE OUTSIDER #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: KID FLASH LOST #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: REVERSE FLASH #1 (Seems like this one is a possibility for some Booster given the fact that the two butted heads in TM:VP.)

FLASHPOINT: PROJECT SUPERMAN #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: GREEN ARROW INDUSTRIES #1
FLASHPOINT: HAL JORDAN #1 (of 3)
FLASHPOINT: THE CANTERBURY CRICKET #1 (When DC debuted this character design on April 1, I thought it was an April Fools Day prank.)

If you're in it for the long haul, that's $73.76 worth of comics in two months. Before taxes. For just the first part of this "epic" story.

I will. I'm not going to get everything (that's way too pricy) but maybe one or two other titles. I'm thinking the Canterbury Cricket might be a character that comes to the regular DCU when this is over. Deadman and the Flying Graysons or Wonder Woman and the Furies sounds intriguing. I'm leery of the main title though, because Barry just doesn't click with me.

I'm a retailer, so I'll look through the Flashpoint spin-off books when I can for a Booster appearance. Still, that's a lot of books to glance through.

This event sure is shaping into DC's House of M!

I am getting Flashpoint, World of Flashpoint, and Citizen Cold. What can I say, they have cancelled most of my Pull List. I will certainly let you know if BG turns up there.

Wouldn't it be a twist? This "Flash" House of M/Elseworld-ysh event?
Turning not into a Flash-centric one with Zoom at its heart..but a Booster Gold story, with the Black Beetle at its heart? :P

ha! Making the Blue&Gold's first DC event!
(if only---)

I think it's been implied that Black Beetles' ID would be revealed in #50 which might be after Flashpoint happens. I can't see it working too well in the event it's self but you never know.

I'll be getting the Kid Flash one and the Lois Lane one. Not expecting any cameos but I'll be keeping an eye out :)
