I want it all!

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

Here at Boosterrific.com, I track all Booster Gold appearances. That includes reprints, whether in comics, trades, or $99 hardcover "omnibuses." Given that DC just released a 912-page collection of all the Futures End one-shots, I wondered if anyone here might buy it just to get another copy of Booster Gold: Futures End?

To no one's great surprise, the Most Viewed Post at Boosterrific.com in the past 12 months was the return of Booster Gold in his own, self-titled one-shot in September:

It was good to see so many people excited about Booster Gold: Futures End #1 after a several-year hiatus for our hero. I look forward to continuing that momentum with his two issue Convergence tie-in miniseries in 2015.

Thanks for a good 2014, Booster Boosters. Let's make 2015 shine!

If you visit your Local Comic Shop today, the cover of Smallville: Continuity #1 might catch your eye. Buyer beware! Booster Gold may appear prominently on Cat Staggs' cover, but he is found nowhere inside the book.

This is the second time in recent months that Booster will appear on a cover without participating in the story within. Booster was on the cover of Futures End #25, and he hasn't been seen in that story since May!

So if you're a Booster Gold completist, you're going to want a copy of Smallville: Continuity #1. Otherwise, consider saving your money for an extra copy of Booster's Convergence crossover next April.

This time next week, we'll be talking about the return of Blue and Gold in Justice League 3000, so I'd like to take this opportunity to spotlight another book shipping next week.

The New 52: Futures End Volume 1 will be collecting the first eighteen issues of Futures End. That will include Booster Gold's only appearance in the series so far:

Futures End #0

So if you've been waiting for the trades to get involved in DC's latest mega event, the future is next Wednesday.

If you aren't following Futures End but you are an obsessive Booster Gold collector (you know who you are), then remember to grab a copy of Futures End #25 at your Local Comic Shop this week. It's your first chance to get a Ryan Sook-drawn Booster Gold.

Beware: Booster is clearly visible just above the masthead, but he appears nowhere in the pages within. This isn't the first time Booster has appeared on a cover but not the pages in between. That would have been Justice League International #39 in 1990. In that case, the artist was the incomparable Adam Hughes. At least when Booster appears only on covers, the art tends to be pretty good.

(FYI: IF you aren't regularly reading Futures End, don't expect the issue to make any sense. As a stand alone issue, boy, is this thing impenetrable.)
