You may have noticed that the red counter has reappeared at the top of this site. Hey, DC, why must we go so long between Booster Gold appearances?

Last week's poll question: What do Booster Gold fans have to give thanks for in 2014? (57 votes)

It has been my experience that the biggest fans of Booster Gold's solo series aren't as enthusiastic about the JLI comedy twosome of Blue and Gold. Does that trend continue?

This time next week, we'll be talking about the return of Blue and Gold in Justice League 3000, so I'd like to take this opportunity to spotlight another book shipping next week.

The New 52: Futures End Volume 1 will be collecting the first eighteen issues of Futures End. That will include Booster Gold's only appearance in the series so far:

Futures End #0

So if you've been waiting for the trades to get involved in DC's latest mega event, the future is next Wednesday.

Matt Santori-Griffith has started "Super Buddies," a series of articles exploring "enduring comic book friendships" for Comicosity.com. Naturally, his first pairing is Blue Beetle and Booster Gold.

Matt invited Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis, the original writers of Justice League International, to have a chat about the origins of comicdom's favorite comedy duo.

Matt Santori-Griffith: So, you guys have been writing Blue Beetle and Booster Gold for a long time. Going all the way back to when they first met in Justice League, when do you feel they first started to click as a friendship for you?

Keith Giffen: I know when I felt it. It was the sequence when they first met Catherine Cobert. One of them made a fool of himself and the other just wouldn't stop laughing.

J.M. DeMatteis: Was that "Moving Day" [Justice League International #8]?

KG: I'm thinking it was. That was the issue where everything clicked.

JMD: Yeah. That also, if I'm not mistaken, was the first "Bwah-ha-ha."

That's true. The first appearance of Beetle's signature laugh was indeed at Booster's expense in JLI #8. That's the stuff that friendships are made of!

You can (and should) read the rest of the article (with pictures!) at Comicosity.com. (And don't forget to pick up the return of Blue and Gold in Justice League 3000 #12 next week!)
