Since Comic-Con International started two weeks ago, I have received repeated requests for pictures of Booster Gold cosplayers. Specifically, fans have been asking for pictures of female versions of Booster Gold. These are typically referred to as Earth-11 Booster Gold or Rule 63 Booster Gold, depending on whether your frame of reference is comic books or the internet. In either event, I know when I'm beaten; your wish is my command.

Above left are Katy Mor and Jettie Monday, respectively, as Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. This pair of professional models have been making a name for themselves as Blue and Gold on the convention circuit, selling some stunning photographs by Bill Nash. Jettie Monday has even written about her experience as Booster Gold for Geek News Network.

Above right are RaeHimura and Demyrie, respectively, as Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Together, this creative pair of dedicated fans have been dressing as the world's best comic duo at conventions for awhile, including in this year's Comic-Con (as photographed by William Tung). Together, they now run their own custom costume shop at Suit Up Productions.

A week from now, Comic-COn International will be in full swing, with fans of superheroes and comic book culture in all media swarming through downtown San Diego, California. I suspect we'll be learning the fate of the JLI from one of the many DC artists and editors present at the convention. One notable absentee will be Skeets, who couldn't even be bothered to show up in Booster's latest series. Now I think I know why: he's been busy with his family!

These Skeetlings were the idea of Demyrie, a devoted Booster Gold fan and artist. In addition to this great idea, Demyrie's Deviant Art gallery includes several pics of gender-swapped Blue and Gold cosplay from Comic-Con International 2011 and even some fan-made SuperBuddies strips. A true Renaissance fan!

Comic-Con International 2010 starts today at 10AM (not counting last night's preview, of course), and Justice League: Generation Lost writer Judd Winick will be among the DC writers at the "DC Writer's Unite!" panel starting at 10:15. By the time you read this, throngs of well-costumed men and women should be streaming into the San Diego Convention Center. Know that Boosterrific supports you, the costumed fan!

This is about as good a Booster Gold costume as you are ever likely to see. Boosterrific! Booster Gold at Comic-Con 2008 photo by GoofyGoof as posted at flikr.com.
