Gold Beetle Family Tree
The Gold Beetle returns — as a prisoner of the Linear Men! — in this week's The Flash #7:
written by Simon Spurrier, art by Ramon Perez
Seven issues into this latest Flash volume, it's still a big mystery what's actually going on (thanks, decompression!), so I can't explain it to you. What I can say for sure is that the mysterious Linear Man codenamed "Inspector Pilgrim" talking to Max Mercury and Impulse claims he and the detained Gold Beetle are "kinda family."
While I'm inclined to believe that "Inspector Pilgrim" is yet another future version of Jai West (who smooched with Gold Beetle during the One Minute War), I suppose it's a possibility that Pilgrim has some relationship with Booster Gold or Blue Beetle.
Maybe one day we'll find out.

Strange Tales
The Booster Gold/Blue Beetle team-up story you can't buy this week resides exclusively at Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family Presents... blog at braveandboldlost.blogspot.com.
Blue and Gold seem a little out of their depth here, but when has that ever stopped them before? Keep up the good work, Ross.

The Future of Imaginary Stories
Unless you're planning on picking up the new DCeased boxed set collection (of previously released trades), don't expect to see Booster Gold in any DC Comics this week. At least not in your Local Comic Shop.
However, Booster does appear on the cover of a recent issue of Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family Presents... at braveandboldlost.blogspot.com:
There's a lot to like about this potential crossover. In addition to the fact that both Booster Gold and Phillip J. Fry are temporally-displaced persons with robot sidekicks, Futurama has never shied away from criticizing the sort of runaway commercialism that Booster Gold often represents.
And, of course, that pic of Booster comes from 2008's Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st-Century #19, and Futurama is set in... you guessed it... the 31st century.
Yeah, I'd definitely buy that comic. I might even be willing to pay quite a bit more than 60¢.
UPDATE 2023-10-17: Booster booster Marty writes in to let us know that a picture of Booster does appear in Batman Superman World's Finest #20. So buy that and make Skeets happy!

Fantastic Six
The news broke Monday that Warner Brothers has a live-action Wonder Twins project in the works. As a longtime fan of Jayna and Zan, I'd be super stoked about this... if I didn't remember all those times I was promised a live-action Booster Gold that never came to pass.
Frankly, if I'm in the market for some superhero stories that I'll never get to watch, I personally prefer to visit Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family Presents... blog, where I get teased by the likes of this:
Uh, oh. Something tells me that Booster and Johnny Storm aren't going to get along at all. Let the fireworks begin!
Keep up the good work, Ross.

Wizard Booster the Gold
Some comic creators run out of ideas. Not Ross Pearsall, whose superhero team-up Super-Team Family Presents... blog is at issue 3523 and counting!
Conan's creator, Robert E. Howard, created the mythical Hyborian Age as a lost prehistoric era occurring sometime during the Neolithic period, around 10,000 BCE. It would be an interesting period for Booster to visit, where his advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic (to coin a phrase).
Here's to 3500 more issues, Ross!
