I'm trying to figure out when *the thing* that's revealed at the end about booster happened, because he seemed himself in omega act. guess i'll have to reread that. i don't think i've read a main universe booster comic this year without hoping he doesn't die by the end of this event. knock on wood

Don't reread any of that, you'll only be punishing yourself. I'm not particularly familiar with Scott Snyder's style, but OMEGA ACT And SUPERMAN were written by someone who has never much cared for internal logic or consistency in his storytelling, so don't expect to find any answers there.

I just read it. Are they saying darkseid is booster and he had already rigged the contest. Would be so bummed out if booster is already dead off panel and replaced 😕

For what it's worth, Gorilla Grodd was the living embodiment of Darkseid in the recently-concluded "We Are Yesterday" storyline that ran though JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED and WORLD'S FINEST, and as you can see in this issue, Grodd seems all better now. (Of course, that could be a fake out. Everyone could be evil in the DCU these days. I won't know, and I'm perilously close to not caring anymore.)

I think he was still himself in the special and that he's still somewhere in there during this one because of where his voice broke. But I also thought it was an incredibly tedious issue to read, ngl, and I don't really expect him to make it out as anything less than 1.) The winner via self-sacrifice or 2.) A corpse for possibly the same reason.

I have a question- Where is Rip Hunter?

pigeon posted on Oct. 10, 2025 at 1:46 PM
Rip is probably dealing with whatever is killing time masters, given the events of justice league dark tomorrow special.

I am continuing to lay odds on him showing up in the last couple pages of Superman. We'll see!

Welp. Not in JLU 10.

He is in Superman 29 nearing the end...no spoilers

I have been talking to guys on Facebook. And it seems they are reading a different event. They claim booster gold has been all over the place in comics since the all in one shot. Am I missing something. When I joked he has been seen in months out side of single pages. They said I am missing alot. Could he be disguised as some one else?

@Rasalonn "Could he be disguised as someone else?" Sure. It's comics. Anything is possible. But I think they're trolling you.

SLW (Steff) posted on Aug. 27, 2025 at 9:12 AM
Trust me, if he was anywhere, Walter would know about it. LOL! But I kinda mostly called it. I continue to want to wrap him in blankets and like-- stick him in front of a buffet and therapist, poor guy.

Contents of volume 3 have now been confirmed. Booster Gold #32-47 and Time Masters: Vanishing Point #1-6. #39-43 have never been collected before and #44-47 only as part of Flashpoint. Great to soon have it all together finally. I remember the TPB collecting #39-43 being cancelled back in 2011 so nice to finally close that loop

Costume or civilian clothes? (Arguably, she was romancing him, but she still stabbed him more times in this timeline than she's kissed him. Which is fine by me, he can definitely do better. 🤣)

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jul. 22, 2025 at 7:01 PM
That is *definitely* a costume. Civilian clothes, I would argue, as a general rule attempt to fit in with contemporary fashion trends. That's designed to stand out as far as possible. That boy wants to be seen!

SLW (Steff) posted on Jul. 22, 2025 at 7:37 PM
See, I'd venture civilian clothes are 'clothes you're not likely (or looking) to fight in'. I mean, there's a difference between being publicity-minded and and being 'on duty'. At least every other time we've seen him wearing this, he was definitely not what I'd call officially 'on duty', though yeah, of *course* that boy wants to be seen. XD When your whole skillset is basically 'superhero' or 'ex-football player', branding is about all you got left to bring home the bacon!

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jul. 22, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Merriam-Webster defines "civilian" strictly as someone who is not in the armed or peacekeeping forces, and the United States Army recognizes "civilian clothes" as almost anything that isn't a defined uniform. Loosely speaking, most of DC's superheroes should be considered deputies of the law, and wear a uniform designating their special status to society-at-large. Therefore, a super hero wearing anything other than their IP trademarked outfit could be considered to be wearing "civilian clothes." I also concede all this would seem to apply to Booster here, as he is not obviously clad in his familiar 25th-century power-suit.

HOWEVER, Booster (1) isn't in the military, (2) has been known to change looks from time to time, and (3) is wearing an outfit clearly meant to evoke his traditional costume (and brand). Add that in this particular context, he is responding to Batman's summons wearing what you see, while all of his colleagues on the Justice League satellite are also dressed for "work." Booster is not shown changing outfits before going into action, so the presumption is that he is time travels to save the day in what he's already wearing. Therefore, even by your definition, I contend that he sure seems to be "looking to fight" in what you see him wearing here, so I will insist on calling it a costume (as I have before; see: "Los Angeles Casual" on the Boosterrific! list of power-suits) until such time as evidence in canon proves otherwise.

(I admit I'm probably being pointlessly argumentative on a purely semantic point, but "being pointlessly argumentative" is a key cornerstone in my personality matrix, and why else read superhero comic books if not to argue about their contents?)

Joe posted on Jul. 23, 2025 at 12:11 AM
Civilian. lol.

Rob snow posted on Jul. 23, 2025 at 12:14 AM
Short answer...nope. No booster nor in Justice league unlimited

Well, crud.

SLW (Steff) posted on Jul. 23, 2025 at 7:28 AM
We wouldn't be comic book fans, buddy, if we didn't argue pointlessly about semantics. XD And anyway, who's to say they didn't summon him from a karaoke session anyway? He doesn't carry his powersuit in a ring, so it's entirely possible he got called to action while out doing non-hero things. Maybe he took a minute to change into the actual uniform/costume before time-traveling to save the world (again) after we see him vanish.

I can definitely say wearing civilian clothes (I suppose calling them street clothes also works) doesn't preclude a public servant (or possibly superhero) from going into action without the uniform when there's no time to run home and change into it. I was married to a rural police officer for many years, and many times he strapped his gunbelt on over his jeans and bolted out with his badge clipped to his belt. (And it's totally fine, really, to call this outfit a costume since we see it more than once and it's themed, but I think in-universe, it's probably really just one variation of Booster's street clothes. A 'notice who I am' outfit, sure, but still not meant for battle.)

I am not claiming that I had much fun with DC comics recently (or that I read a lot of them anyway), but IF they have to do an event about heroes fighting each other instead of together, doing that in a "friendly" tournament instead of another vampire war or something similar, I would rather take the tournament.

Either way, I'll look forward to the day, Booster gets to be a competent hero again...if or whenever that day might come.

SLW (Steff) posted on Jul. 18, 2025 at 1:24 PM
I'm 95% sure they aren't gonna kill him on his 40th 'birthday', but I do have to admit that I'd like it if the poor guy would get a break. Like-- just a little one. A triumph. My big hope is that he shakes off King's godawful characterization for good, that he gets handled by excellent writers from here on, but I never believe anything DC does with him (or any of the JLI absent Guy) until they prove it.

Sadly, I will still probably buy them all anyway. LOL!

Also, you can always quote me!

I've read METAL and DEATH METAL, and I'm sure I can say with confidence that I will not enjoy DC KO. But I do agree that having heroes sacrifice themselves for the chance to become an evil god is a more enticing premise than heroes being corrupted into evil undead.

SLW (Steff) posted on Jul. 18, 2025 at 1:34 PM
I've read both Metal and Death Metal and for the life of me, they still confuse me. LOL! Though I did love where Diana is talking to some higher order being wearing her original guise. Also, I should have included the caveat that I don't think they would kill Booster *permanently*, because I wouldn't put it past them to do it temporarily.

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jul. 18, 2025 at 2:52 PM
Pfft. No one dies permanently in comic books. Their licensing value is too high. At worst, they'll be brought back in the next universe reboot. (At the rate DC does those, we should see another by January.)

SLW (Steff) posted on Jul. 18, 2025 at 3:32 PM
I'd admonish you not to be cynical, Walter, except the part where I think you're right. LOL! It feels a little like they're shortening the time between reboots. Eventually it'll become every single issue.

I tend to like Scott Synder in general so I'm willing to give this a chance.
