And Pluto Is Not a Planet Anymore
When I first started Boosterrific.com, DC hadn't rebooted its continuity in about two decades. At the time, volume number was a pretty useful way to tell what era a particular run of comics belonged to.
Obviously, times have changed. Publishers now restart numbering all the time—the current Superman title is volume 6!—for a variety of reasons (mostly to goose sales), and telling the volumes apart isn't as easy or as useful as it once was. So I'm thinking about changing the way this site handles volumes, eliminating the descriptor from the lists and simply going by year of publication instead, which is how I track my personal collection (which for some reason contains more than just comics with Booster Gold in them).
Don't worry too much: I'm certainly not planning to eliminate volume numbers from individual comics pages or URLs. Most visitors will never notice a difference.
Which raises the question of why I'm telling you this. Maybe it's to spur me into action. Maybe it's to warn you that what you see in the Boosterrific! comics lists might be changing as I tinker with formats. Maybe it's a request for suggestions for other usability improvements.
Maybe I'm just looking for something to talk about other than today's DC K.O. #5.
In any event, even though I don't say it often enough, thank you for visiting Boosterrific.com.

Goldstar Is the Real Mistress of Magnetism
Back at the start of February, I showcased three of Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family cross-company team-up covers (via braveandboldlost.blogspot.com) featuring Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and Skeets. And here we are, a month later, and Ross has created yet another, this time teaming all three with Batman-pastiche Nighthawk, who makes Booster Gold seem like an A-plus lister.
Booster versus Magneto, huh? I suppose Booster's force field versus Unus the Untouchable's force field wouldn't be much of a fight, so divide and conquer, classic Justice League style. Yeah, I'd read that.

This Day in History: Animal Man 22
On this day in 1990, Booster Gold helped Animal Man steal one of Rip Hunter's time machines in Animal Man #22.
Pot, meet kettle.
