Over the weekend FZ writes, "Found a poster you might not be aware of!"

That's obviously an in-store promotional poster for Justice League Spectacular from 1992, currently listed for sale on eBay by Knight Street Comics.

And FZ is right. I had not seen that before. The question now is what do I do with this new information?

Boosterrific does have a listing of officially licensed DC posters including Booster Gold appearances (including the one seen on the above poster) here. However, this particular poster is really more of an advertisement and would not have been available to the general public. Do I add this to the posters list anyway? Or do I just leave it here on the blog, which is the catch-all for things I don't know where else to put.

I'm currently thinking the latter, but if you feel differently, let me know. Thanks, FZ.

I'm sorry to tell you, Booster boosters, that I have been remiss in my job. I have to this point completely failed to mention here on the blog that Booster Gold appears not once but twice the Mad About DC #1 one shot released on April Fool's Day.

When the book was announced, I was certain that it would be a magazine reprinting old Mad Magazine content, as so many Mad releases are these days. But no, it is indeed in comic book format (6-1/8 inches by 10 inches) chock full o' all-new material from some rather big names.

Booster Gold appears prominently in "Lasso of Truth: Fashion Edition" by Seth Meyers and Chip Zdarsky, and "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" by Mark Russell, Steve Lieber, Steve Buccellato, and Pat Brousseau. That's twice as many reasons to pick up this issue!

Thanks to eighties88 and Noah for making sure I saw these.

Coming tomorrow to your Local Comic Shop: Action Comics #1097 with Booster Gold on (count 'em!) two separate covers!

The image on the left is "Cover A Ryan Sook." The image on the right is "Cover D Skyar Patridge Things to Come Card Stock Variant." Buy one or the other (or both!) and make Skeets happy (wherever he is).

Since my annual April Fools' Day post went over like a lead balloon (for reminding everyone of that nonsensical story in which the DC Multiverse's anthropomorphic embodiment of entropy pretended to be Booster Gold), let's see if I can refresh your palette with a post about that time the heart and soul of the Justice League pretended to be something called a "Bloodwynd."

Obviously, I'm talking about Justice League America #76.

In case you're too young (or too old) to remember, Bloodwynd was a mysterious character with magical powers who appeared from thin air to save the Justice League in Justice League America #61. Blue Beetle never liked the guy and vowed to discover his true identity, setting up a subplot that would have to wait for Superman to die before it could be resolved. (Trivia fact: Bloodwynd and Ice are the first heroes on the scene after Doomsday kills Superman.)

Bloodwynd's secret identity was revealed in, well, either Justice League America #74 or #75 depending on how much credence you give to dreams. But Justice League America #76 is the first issue to begin untangling the Bloodwynd mystery.

Hammer pants, Booster? Really?

Do I love this page just because of that cool last panel of Beetle emerging from the shadows? Yes, yes I do.

Earlier this month, when DC announced they would begin reprinting DC K.O. piecemeal in four distinct trades, we knew it would be only be a matter of time before all of those stories would be collected into a single omnibus edition. That announcement came sooner than expected during this past weekend's WonderCon:

DC K.O.: KING OMEGA MEGA EDITION
Writer: SCOTT SNYDER, JOSHUA WILLIAMSON, MARK WAID, JEREMY ADAMS and others
Artist: JAVI FERNANDEZ, XERMANICO, DAN MORA and others
$200.00 US | 936 pages | 8 1/8 x 12 1/4 | Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1035049394
On Sale: 12/30/26

Critics have hailed DC K.O. as the perfect story for our modern times, where morality is a mug's game and the only winning move is not to play. And now the entire DC K.O. reading experience has been collected into a single o-MEGA sized hardbound volume for your bathroom-reading enjoyment!

Will Batman kill? Will Superman run away? Did we add a few panels of Absolute Batman just to goose sales? Yes, yes, and hell yes! If the whole world is burning, you might as well have a ringside seat for the fireworks! Nihilism for everybody!

Collects DC K.O. #1-5, Justice League: The Omega Act Special #1, DC K.O. Knightfight #1-4, DC K.O.: Superman vs. Captain Atom #1, DC K.O.: Wonder Woman vs. Lobo #1, DC K.O.: Harley Quinn vs. Zatanna #1, DC K.O.: Red Hood vs. Joker #1, DC K.O.: The Kids Are All Fight Special #1, DC K.O.: Green Lantern Galactic Slam #1, DC K.O.: Boss Battle #1, DC K.O.: Starro vs. Slade #1, DC K.O.: The Satanic vs. #1, DC K.O.: Ok, Koko #1, DC K.O.: We'll Stop When You Make Us #1, DC K.O.: Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy #1, and DC K.O.: Dollars vs. Sense: Death Spiral #1.

That's... a heavy book.
