Don't forget that DC Comics is releasing Injustice 2 #5 today. (Although, because of the Independence Day holiday, some shops — including my own Local Comic Shop — won't have new books on the shelves until tomorrow.)

The contents of this issue first appeared digitally last month, so we can be sure that our hero (and Skeets!) will be appearing within.

Buy this issue and tell DC that we want more Booster Gold!

I bought both digital Injustice issues and even the darn Flintstones special - my very first comic book purchases ever - to tell DC just that.
Off to buy myself a adult-sized onesie that says "Baby's First Comic Book" I guess now ...
Don't I feel silly among you veterans sometimes

Congrats on your first comic book purchase!
May it not become a debilitating affliction for you as it has for so many of us.
(Must... buy... new... books....)

Given the paucity of Blue & Gold, Fire & Ice and pals, I'm at little risk of addiction even if I wanted to...

I didn't even know about this one. I'll look for it next time I'm in the store. Is it any good?

And CelebrenIthil, how did you get to be a Booster fan? Was it one of the TV appearances?

Though I don't care for the INJUSTICE 2 mythos and haven't been reading the series, I thought this issue was very touching.

The pair of Injustice issues sure tug at the ole heartstrings, yeah.

As for your question, it wasn't the TV appearances, no; as it happens, it was someone I came to follow on Tumblr who is a Big Barda fan, and she would post choice panels from the 80s JLI days from time to time.

I ended up reading them whenever she posted one, and the funniest were always those involving Boost' and Beetle, and Fire and Ice, and Guy (who doesn't get in a pair 'cuz he's a jackass)).

So I started exploring the JLI tags, then the characters' tags, and I kinda began to get their story piecemeal.

Needless to say, it would have been hella confusing an introduction to any regular piece of literature as is, but here we're talking about American comics, and I decided to like a time travelling dude who had major parts in the especially confusing universe reboots... but still! I was just so taken about how genuinely fun and lovable and... genuine Boost and pals were that I powered on, trying to find resources -- such as this wonderful website for which I can never express enough gratitude -- to help me make sense of the storylines, then hunting for scans, then hopefully buying real issues.

Which I finally did, yay (albeit digitally)!

I am kinda angry at myself sometimes for getting attached to a bunch of goofy C-listers who had their glory days before I was born and for which there now is little content and lots of heartbreak (;v;), but hey! Maybe we'll get a movie maybe one day and maybe it won't be terrible and it might spark some renewed interest maybe! And Ted is in recent comics, and sometimes he's even breathing! And sometimes, Booster and Ted know each other! And uuh... no Bea and Tora and pals tho'... but I digress.

Sorry I wrote a novel! But it you'd like to share how you got into the Greatest Hero You've Never Heard Of's fandom, I'd like to hear it! I'm curious :)

More Booster Gold In Comics

Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Booster Gold reappears this week in the latest digital installment of DC's Injustice 2 "Chapter 10."

After his walk-on role in last week's "Chapter 9," Booster's appearance here isn't a big surprise, but it does make one stop to wonder why Booster can show up in stories taking place outside of regular DCnrU continuity but not in a DCnrU comic itself. First Flintstones, now Injustice — what's next? Scooby-Doo?

Before you ask, yes, I'd buy that.

You can find Injustice 2 Chapters 9 and 10 now at Comixology.com for 99¢ apiece. They'll be available together in your Local Comic Shop (as Injustice 2 #5) on July 5 for $2.99.

Booster Gold Appears in a Comic Again!

Wednesday, June 7, 2017

I received an email yesterday alerting me to this:

Yes, that is Booster Gold, and yes, that is Ted Kord. Believe it or not, Skeets is in there, too. All in a DC comic book. Will wonders never cease?

This panel can be found in Injustice 2 "Chapter 9", now available on Comixology.com. Injustice 2 does not take place in the standard DCnrU but in the dystopian parallel universe as seen in the Injustice series of video games. (It's not a nice place to live. Superman is a jerk.)

Injustice 2 is a digital-first title, so chapters are available online before they are released as comics. This gives you two ways to buy. "Chapter 9" and "Chapter 10" (due next week) both cost just 99¢ on Comixology. Alternately, the two chapters will be collected into the printed floppy Injustice 2 #5, coming to your Local Comic Shop on July 5 for $2.99.

Thanks for the tip, jayroc22! (Also thanks to Spencer, who tried to notify me on Facebook. Sorry I didn't see your message sooner.)

New Release: JLU Skeets in Flash 21

Wednesday, April 26, 2017

ComicsBeat.com has the exclusive preview of today's The Flash #21, and you don't have to look to hard to find a cameo appearance by the sidekick of the future, Skeets!

This is hardly the first time we've seen Skeets' outer shell among the artifacts stored in the JLA trophy room. One version or another has been in the Watchtower since JLA Secret Files & Origins #2 in 1998. We saw a similar image in Justice League of America, volume 2, #7 in 2006.

However, this is the first time we've seen the Justice League Unlimited version of Skeets in the regular DCnU. Is this multiverse crossover a side effect of Convergence, Rebirth, or just an artist who likes the JLU look? Who cares? It's Skeets!

Thanks to Benni Beard for pointing out this easter egg!

New Release: Meet the Flintstones

Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Booster Gold is finally back in comic stores after a two year hiatus! And we finally have a definitive answer to last month's debate over what piece of art Dan Jurgens, Norm Rapmund, and Brian Miller were working on.

Gee, that star sure looks familiar.

Those wonderful people over at CBR.com have an 11-page preview. Eleven pages! Fortunately, it's a 48-page comic.

The preview certainly raises plenty of continuity questions for our favorite Chronal Crusader, but that's to be expected for any character who has missed two continuity reboots. Before anyone freaks out (and I'm probably talking to myself here), keep in mind that this is our first look at post-Rebirth Booster Gold.

What are you doing still reading this? Go buy your copy of Booster Gold/The Flintstones ~~Annual~~ Special #1 now! Heck, there are two covers, each featuring Booster Gold, so buy two!
