Sigh. I forgot to plug the vote counter back in when I revised the scripts last week, so, yeah, last week's poll... it recorded no votes for the first 5 days it was up. I think I'm going to have to run this one again later.

Last week's poll question: Which Booster Gold supporting character do you miss the most in the DCnU? (8 votes)

Yeah, I'll be running that one again soon [wipes egg from face]. Let's move on, shall we?

Justice League of America #1 has 53 covers. This has attracted the attention of various localized media outlets which seem pleased to find their respective state flags on the cover of a comic book. I'm pretty sure that was DC's goal. Does that publicity turn into sales? Out of curiosity, I ask:

I hadn't meant to make this a week of fan art, but when preparing yesterday's pic, I found this one that I had prepared but never posted. Today, I'll correct that oversight.

My apologies to artist More979 of Uruguay. This was, I think, among the earliest fan art pieces I found of Booster in his New 52 costume. I think this drawing does a fine job of (unintentionally) demonstrating how bad an idea those extra gold bands on the upper arms and neck are. In More979's loose, cartoon style, the bands read as tiger stripes, not technology. Obviously, that's something I blame on Booster's New 52 costume design, not More979.

You can find more of More979's super-hero sketches on DeviantArt.com.

If you were even halfway paying attention, you might have heard the "big news" regarding a particular sidekick that the New York Post broke yesterday. (If you haven't, you're the lucky one, then.) The important side effect of this news is that now the DCnU now has an opening for our favorite sidekick, Skeets!

To celebrate this great news, create your own Skeets papercraft model!

Go to CyberDrone's Deviant Art page to download a full-size template, print it out, cut it up, and fold your own Skeets paper model. Once you've done that, rest easy knowing that DC can never take it away from you.

When your friends care enough to give the very best, they'll give you a Booster Gold sketch.

As you can tell from the inscription, that's a sketch that former Young Justice artist Todd Nauck gave former Booster Gold inker Norm Rapmund for Rapmund's birthday last week. Getting a picture of Booster Gold for your birthday? Now that's friendship!

You can find a larger version of the sketch on Nauck's Tumblr site, and the original black and white outline (plus many other cool drawings) on his Instagram page.

As suspected, Booster Gold doesn't actually appear in Justice League of America #1, but he does get a pretty interesting shout out.

If "The Wall" is looking for Booster, it's a sure thing that she'll find him. More interestingly, who is her "temporal specialist"? Could it be Chronos, as Steve Trevor suggests? If so, which Chronos? The original villain David Clinton, anti-hero Gabriel Walker, or perhaps Lady Chronos? Or could it be another time-travelling DC character, like Rip Hunter or Waverider? Maybe even a New 52 re-imagined Extant or Epoch, The Lord of Time? Let the speculation begin!
