New Release: Power Girl Special
Ongoing monthly publishing schedules are based on planning for a release every four weeks. So the few months a year where the calendar contrives to have five weeks in a month throws a real wrench into the works.
This fifth week is sometimes called a "skip week" because publishers often release no ongoing books during the week to maintain their regular 4-week release schedules. Rather than just skip a week of potential sales, DC has traditionally solved this "fifth week" problem with mini-events and one-shot standalone issues.
That's why this is the week you'll be seeing the DC Pride 2023 anthology and the Power Girl Special in your Local Comic Shop.
While I don't expect we'll be seeing Booster Gold in either of those issues, they both will be offering Booster Gold fandom-adjacent entertainment. The Boostle crowd will probably find something to love in DC Pride, and Justice League International aficionados will want to read the back-up story in the Power Girl Spcial featuring Fire and Ice, the female "Blue and Gold," if you will.
As DCComics.com made clear last month's press release, Power Girl's Fire and Ice story is laying the groundwork to their own mini-series, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, coming in September. Again, I have no rational expectation that Booster Gold (and/or Blue Beetle) will be appearing in that series, either. But it would be nice if they did.

New Releases: Power Girl and DCU Online
Earlier this week, DC released a pic of Power Girl's DCnU costume. (Summary: impractical boob-window closed = good; solid white leotard with nearly a dozen prominent seams = bad.) To make way for its latest fashion nightmare, DC will release the collected final eight issues of PG's previous series today in Power Girl: Old Friends.
Many of the issues in this collection tied into events in Justice League: Generation Lost. As a result, Booster Gold appeared in Power Girl #19, #20, and #21. That -- and the knowledge that this is the last you'll see of PG's décolletage for the foreseeable future -- should be all the reason you need to pick up this collection.
And for you completists out there -- because let's face it, if you are buying a Power Girl collection for Booster Gold appearances, you are probably buying everything with a Booster Gold appearance in it -- note that Booster Gold makes a cameo appearance in today's DC Universe Online Legends #23. This appearance is out of continuity, but what is continuity these days, anyway?
Consider buying one or more of these issues and make out-of-continuity Skeets happy.

New Release: Generation Lost #20
Justice League: Generation Lost #20 and the related Power Girl #21 are scheduled to hit stands today. With only two months left in this story, it's about time we learn what Maxwell Lord's master plan is and how many other heroes Power Girl can get to join Booster Gold's latest team. Buy them both and make Skeets happy.

New Releases: JLI Volume 5 TPB
Justice League International Volume 5, collecting Justice League International Annual #2 and #3 plus early issues of the JLE, is scheduled for release today. There's definitely some Booster Gold in that. And I'm not making any promises, but it seems very likely that Booster will at least get a mention in Power Girl #20, the events of which take place between Justice League: Generation Lost issues #16 and #17.
And if that's not enough to tide you over until the next Booster Gold release, be aware that I've combined and updated the house advertisements/psa page to try to make them more user friendly. The ads are now easier to find, presented on one page for your browsing enjoyment. Boosterrific.com is always working to serve you better!

New Releases: Generation Lost & Power Girl
Justice League: Generation Lost #16 is scheduled to hit stands today. You may want to take an extra $2.99 to the comic shop this week, as Booster Gold appears on the solicited cover for Power Girl #19 as well. Buy them both and give Skeets a Merry Christmas.
UPDATE: Booster also makes an appearance in DC Universe: Legacies #8. It's a very Booster Gold Christmas!
