New Release: Harley Quinn 67

I'm not going to lie and tell you I understand what was happening between Booster Gold and Harley Quinn in last month's Harley Quinn #66. I have even less idea what's going on in today's Harley Quinn #67.

What I do know is that with art by Dan Jurgens, Norm Rapmund, and Hi-Fi, it's going to look great.

Harley's right. Martian Manhunter's funeral was in second issue.

If you want to see more, Batman-News.com has the preview.

Thanks to Rob Snow for that news.

By the way, since you're already on your way to your LCS, consider looking on the back issue racks for the most recent issue of Action Comics. The variant "DCeased" cover to issue #1016 included a zombiefied Booster Gold. I missed that when the issue was released 2 weeks ago. Thankfully, Logan Peterson didn't. Good spot, Logan.

Buy these issues and make Skeets happy.

Together Again for the First Time

For the first time since Rebirth restored Ted Kord as Blue Beetle, he and Booster Gold are front and center in action again!

Art by Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, Andrew Dalhouse

Okay, maybe they're not "in" action, but they're close enough. Ted isn't much of a hero these days, not since the heart attack that sidelined him into mentoring Jaime Reyes. But he can still don his old costume for special occasions, such as when the real Flash — Wally West! — races S.T.A.R. Labs founder* Speed Buggy for charity as seen in this week's Flash/Speed Buggy Special.

*No, really. Things developed pretty quickly in that comic. There's also a Reverse Speed Buggy now.

Thanks to Logan for pointing out our favorite heroes in the crowd. (Say, does anyone recognize the kid in the yellow shirt between Igoo and Chunk? Or the character below Grape Ape with the purple stripe down his front? Or the kid in the white jacket behind Robin? They're all probably either Flash or Hanna-Barbera characters. Any guesses?)

This is the best news! I've been living under a rock recently and didn't know there was any good news in comics! So, he's in a few issues of Action and he's going to be in a few issues of Batman, right? Do you know of any other plans for our buddy?

Rocks are good places to live. ACTION and BATMAN are what's current, but Jurgens has made no secret of the fact that he's still lobbying to get a BOOSTER GOLD volume 3 going. Bendis coming to DC seems to have upset several apple carts, so who knows what's coming?

Brady Kj posted on Feb. 16, 2018 at 9:40 PM
OK. That's good news, then! I actually have heard about Bendis switching teams, even under my cozy little stone. I heard people complain about it, but I don't know enough about Bendis to feel one way or the other. What did Bendis write before? I just remember he wrote JLA after Infinite Crisis.

Bendis essentially ran the Marvel Universe for years. Looks like DC might be giving him a shot at something similar.

Brady Kj posted on Feb. 19, 2018 at 1:31 AM
Reading through his works, I see he's written a lot of things that I've found neither interesting to my tastes nor irritating to my tastes. I also notice he wrote a lot of the big event crossovers. DC hiring him doesn't mean they'll do more crossovers, does it?

Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Feb. 19, 2018 at 4:01 AM
It seems impossible to me that DC could do *more* events.

Brady Kj posted on Feb. 23, 2018 at 1:47 AM
I hope not.
I have no idea what Bendis's writing is like. Do you?

Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Feb. 23, 2018 at 1:53 AM
Yeah. Quite a bit, actually. I've always put Bendis in the category of writers who are really good when writing characters that they created or feel ownership of (I used to love POWERS) and not so good otherwise. I think he's like J. Michael Straczynski and Mark Waid in that way.

New Release: Action Comics 995

"Booster Shot," the epic team-up pairing Superman and Booster Gold, continues in today's Action Comics #995.

Though interior art is provided by Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund (and not Dan Jurgens), Jurgens did draw one of the two covers. The other cover is credited to ~~Jay Leisten and Neil Edwards~~.

UPDATE: dccomics.com got their own credits wrong again (for the third issue in a row). The alternate cover is by Dustin Nguyen.

Newsarma.com has the preview. (Spoiler warning: It contains the return of an old Booster Gold foe whose name rhymes with Roderick!)

Buy it today and make Skeets happy!
