Happy Birthday, Dan Jurgens!
Today is Dan Jurgens birthday, but I'm sure you don't need me to remind you of that. All Booster Gold fans already have Jurgens' birthday marked on their calendars every year, right? Right?
Jurgens was recently approached by fan blogger Chris Sheehan at the Phoenix ComicCon. Chris wrote this about their meeting.
I ambled on over, and introduced myself... you know that feeling when you think about meeting one of your heroes and totally being underwhelmed or disappointed... or maybe you just caught 'em on a bad day? Well, those fears vanished as soon as I shook his hand. He was super friendly, and made me feel like he was happy to be meeting me!
I totally relate to Chris' reaction to meeting Mr. Jurgens. I have to admit that I've never met him in person, but Jurgens has been nothing but gracious and engaging in our occasional email exchanges.
Chris goes on to give his review of Booster Gold #1 (spoiler alert: he liked it) on his blogspot blog Chris Is On Infinite Earths, which, if for no other reason, you should visit for its great title!
So thanks again to Dan Jurgens: making so many fans happy for so many years!

Heroes Con Is a Convention for Heroes
This weekend, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and Captain Marvel Shazam got together in Charlotte, North Carolina. Warlord Worlds has the proof from Heroes Convention 2016 on Twitter.com:
Those three heroes sure look like they're having a good time, don't they? I guess that's to be expected when you're attending a convention in your honor.
Thanks for the snapshot, Warlord Worlds.
Update 2016-06-23: On Twitter.com, Kord Industries (@KordIndustries1) tells us that the Beetle cosplayer in the picture is Rusty Winns (@RustyWinns). Thanks!
Update 2016-06-30: I should have mentioned before now that the Booster Gold cosplayer in the picture is Jay Tallsquall. Sorry for that oversight, Jay.

Restrooms Restrooms
DC Comics fans are so loyal, they continue to cosplay as characters whose comics have been canceled. To prove it, here's a photo shared with us by Booster booster Bob from Motor City Comic Con 2016:
Those poor super heroes. That looks like quite the mob scene in front of the restrooms. It must take forever to get in and out of that spandex when nature calls.
Thanks for sharing, Bob!

Ty One On
Booster booster Herbert Fung has always been very generous in sharing the Booster Gold commissions he collects from the annual Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. In past years, he's collected sketches from Adam Hughes and David Finch. What did Herbert get this year?
It's a commission by Booster Gold Volume 1 inker Ty Templeton! Man, I love that high collar.
Thanks again, Herbert!

Crazier Things Have Happened
This past weekend at WonderCon, DC Comics unveiled many of their plans for Rebirth. Although Ted Kord will be returning to mentor Jaime Reyes, there was no hint that we'll be seeing a Booster Gold comic anytime soon.
At least no obvious hint.
That's Gary Frank's cover to DC Universe: Rebirth, the one-shot book written by Geoff Johns that will be launching the Rebirth event. If you're familiar with Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes, you'll recognize Superman's pose as he reaches out to touch the hand of god. A contributor to Comics Amino thinks he knows who that god will be.
Who could the character that ties directly to rebirth and is manipulating things behind the scenes be?
...
A being who is apart of the time stream itself and has the knowledge of the past, present and future and can monitor any activity within the time stream.
...
I think Waverider Booster will be the key to everything.
It may be wishful thinking on my part, but I'd like to believe this commentator (who posts under the pseudonym "Booster Gold"!). Part of his argument is based on an exchange between Johns and Booster Gold creator Dan Jurgens at the "DC All Access Live: DC Universe Rebirth" panel at WonderCon.
If you fast-forward to about 34:50 in the video above, Dan Jurgens will be introduced as the writer who will be returning the post-Crisis Superman to Action Comics in June. He will conclude the interview with this exchange with Geoff Johns:
Johns: There's also a character in there that will tie directly to Rebirth, and some of the stuff that you're playing with is long term for the story we're building. It's really exciting.
Jurgens: Right, exactly. You'll certainly see more of that right in the first issue as we see someone manipulating things behind the scenes putting everything in its place, and it's building to quite a big conclusion.
Last week Johns told Booster Gold fans that big things are coming and we're going to be happy, and now Jurgens is teasing some time-manipulating puppet-master responsible for restoring portions of the post-Crisis DC Universe. Is the reason we haven't seen Waverider since Convergence because he's been busy fixing the DCnU?
So, Booster Gold in Rebirth? Who knows. It could all just be a coincidence or wishful thinking. After all, DC teased that Booster would play a significant role in both Infinite Crisis and Futures End, and neither of those came to pass. However, I'd rather stay positive and hope for the best. Isn't that what a rebirth is all about?
