Got a note from The Blot last week with a little something special attached.

Got an exciting new sketch in my Booster Gold sketchbook I wanted to share with you and all the Booster Boosters. Got to meet Image Comics founder Marc Silvestri at Houston's Comicpalooza last weekend. He was doing a limited amount of remarques, but said he'd do one in my sketchbook! So I jumped at the chance to get a little Booster by a comic book legend. Marc said he'd never drawn Booster before but he did a pretty good job! It’s cool to see him in Silvestri's unique line work.

The only Booster Gold drawing by Marc Silvestri in the entire world?! That's pretty Boosterrific, Blot.

Image Comics was founded in 1992 by Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvesti, and Jim Valentino. Blot now has Booster Gold sketches by two of them (the other is Liefeld). Five to go!

Today's the day to head to your Local Comic Shop to pick up Action Comics #1076 Cover E "McFarlane Toys Card Stock Variant"! You know, the one with a Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figure on it.

It was the Blot who first pointed out this cover to us. No coincidence that it was also the Blot who ordered a whole case of Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figures.

If there is one flaw with those Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figures, it's that it doesn't come with Skeets. Well, Blot has found a solution for that, too.

There’s a guy on Etsy making awesome 3D printed accessories for McFarlane Toys' Super Powers toy line. He just made a Skeets that attaches to the back of Booster's neck (sort of how capes go on). He sells a painted and unpainted version. Got mine yesterday and it's fantastic! Pics of mine below.

The seller is NerdCandyStore, and you can visit their store on Etsy.com.

Thanks for the find, Blot.

Since I was speaking of the Blot and McFarlane Toys on Monday, I might as well repost this:

I can't even begin to imagine what I would do with a box full of Booster Gold, but I'm happy you're happy, Blot.

The Blot got in touch this weekend to say, well, this:

Hey! Check out this McFarlane Toys Super Powers variant cover to Action Comics #1076 featuring the latest Booster Gold action figure. Kinda crazy. Just learned about it.

Good find, Blot!

According to the original DC Comics November 2024 solicitation, Action Comics #1076 will have six different covers: Cover A, two artist variants, a Creature Commandos variant, a McFarlane Toys variant, and a 1:25 retailer incentive variant. As we now know, this is the McFarlane Toys one of those.

DC's distributor, Lunar Distribution, has this listed as a "ACTION COMICS #1076 CVR E MCFARLANE TOYS CARD STOCK VAR" with cover price of $5.99. The book will be released on November 20, but If you want it, be sure to tell your Local Comic Shop today, as today is the Final Order Cut-off deadline for orders.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Blot.

We interrupt our regular posting schedule to bring you an opportunity too good to pass up!

Our friend Blot has brought it to my attention that game manufacturer CMON currently has a crowdfunding campaign for their latest licensed board game, DC Super Heroes United, at gamefound.com, and the important news to Booster boosters is that the campaign has already unlocked a Booster Gold (and Skeets!) stretch goal available to all backers!

As if you need additional incentive to check this out, there is also an unlocked Blue Beetle stretch goal figure (as well as a Justice League International themed card deck).

If you're interested -- how could you not be? -- act fast; the campaign closes next week.

Thanks for the notification, Blot!
