Booster Gold does not appear in any of the comics DC has scheduled for release today. However, that doesn't mean that DC is not releasing anything worth reading. Specifically, if you have the means, you could do much worse than Wonder Woman Chonicles, Volume 2.

The Golden Age adventures of the Amazon Princess are absurdly entertaining. It's a fanciful, anything-goes style of storytelling alien to the satirical, social-commentary nature of Booster Gold stories.

Maybe they do promote lesbianism and sexual bondage, as Doctor Frederic Wertham once famously wrote. But considering modern fare where the DC women now seem to have an unprecedentedly lewd nature, these comics can seen quaint by comparison.

Buy this collection and show Skeets that we will support our DC characters, whether they get television shows or not.

If you want news about Dan Jurgens, Russ Burlingame is the journalist to get it for you. Last week, he posted Jurgens' immediate reaction to the news that Booster Gold may be headed to SyFy on ComicBook.com:

ComicBook.com: The description given to The Hollywood Reporter feels a bit more like the original Booster Gold run, playing down the time travel aspect outside of just the origin story and playing up the "saving today to ensure a better tomorrow" part. You've been pretty heavily invested in both volumes; what take would you run with if you had to submit a pilot script to Syfy?

DJ: For a general audience, the pattern of Booster Gold Volume One probably fits best. The book that Geoff Johns, Jeff Katz and I did was a little more "inside baseball", if you will, keying on cool moments in DC's history. Plus, when you look at Booster's original concept, which is being both hero and fame whore, well, I think that seems even more tuned in with our world today than it did when I first created him. I think that tanslates quite well to TV.

Geoff picked up on much of that with his script to Smallville— dancing girls in every episode!

Seems to me there's a great deal there to work with.

If it's good enough for Booster's creator, it should be good enough for the rest of us!

The penultimate chapter of "The Tomorrow Memory" story was the winner in last week's poll, though not by overwhelming numbers. Thanks to all who voted.

Last week's poll question: What is the best single comic book that features Booster Gold? (43 votes)

While the results of last week's poll inspires a number of questions for future polls, there is a much more pressing question after this week's big news.

Happy Thanksgiving. Take your time, enjoy your meal. Let Booster Gold take care of the dishes.

Artist Erica Henderson hints that she wants to do a 2013 DC beefcake calendar on her blog I Fail At Life, That's Why I Became An Artist. That sounds like something we can give thanks for.
