Don't think that just because Animal Man took over pin-up day on Monday you are going to miss out on sweet Booster Gold art this week. The following sketch comes by way of Marcio Takara, the artist taking over Blue Beetle for issue #9. (Takara is currently the artist on Boom! Studios' Incorruptable.)

While Booster wears his classic threads -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it! -- note that Skeets gets a little jet-fighter makeover that combines his original and JLU designs. The fact that our li'l robot pal still looks so good owes no small debt to Takara's graceful line-work.

Takara has this sketch from Wizard World New Orleans and other great work on his page at Deviant Art, where you can find contact information for a commission of your own. (If you look around his gallery, you'll also find a nifty image with 100 tiny characters, including the classic Justice League International with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, that can be used as a computer desktop image.) It's worth a look.
