In Living Color
I think that anyone who has been buying comics books for as long as I have has to admit that they make terrible investments.
Last week's poll question: How do you respond to news that Booster Gold v1 #1 is spiking in value? (53 votes)
Two-hour movie or 22-episode television show? Live-action or animation? What format would you like to see Warner Brothers give the Booster Gold treatment?

Watercoloring with Tears
The best thing about fan art is that it gives us the opportunity to see things denied to us by official canon. Like NuBooster Gold and post-Crisis Blue Beetle.
Seeing the two together makes me suspect that perhaps DC won't bring Ted Kord back because Booster Gold is now wearing Ted's old pants.
This sepia-tinged watercolor (and its split-windshield Skeets, complete with rope ladder action!) was created by German artist therealRIZ. Riz has quite a bit of impressive, comic book-related work in his gallery at Deviant Art.

Misty 4-Color Memories of the Way We Were
This weekend in the Boosterrific Forum, Comic Related "Gold Exchange" columnist Russ Burlingame asked: "As the hardcore fans of the series, what is your favorite single image from the Jurgens/Rapmund run on the title? It could be a cover, a splash page or whatever."
There are quite a few things to like about the Jurgens/Rapmund run. If I had to narrow it to one image, it would be this panel from page 5 of Booster Gold #12.
I'm nuts about the trophies in the Batcave. I think it's great that Batman cares for continuity as much as I do. It is wish fulfillment at its finest to see Booster Gold (and Goldstar!) travel back in time to steal the 1966 George Barris Batmobile from Alfred. What can I say? I'm a fan, too.
If you have an opinion, travel over to the Forum to tell Russ what you liked best from the soon to be discontinued second volume of Booster Gold series.

Before and After: #44
The DC preview of tomorrow's Booster Gold #44 is online at The Source. Once again, I find it interesting to compare the solicitation cover art with the finished work. (I previously compared the solicitation and final art for the cover of issue #42.)
Both images were drawn by Dan Jurgens and inked by Norm Rapmund. The difference between the two images -- for good or ill depending on your personal aesthetic -- is the work the colorists at Hi-Fi Designs.

Before and After
Yesterday DC released a preview of Booster Gold #42 in the Source, and it's interesting to compare the solicitation cover art with the finished work.
Both images were drawn by Chris Batista and presumably inked by Rich Perotta. The solicitation image on the left was probably colored by a DC staffer; the final image on the right was colored by Hi-Fi Designs. What a difference a bit of computer color makes.
