What Morgenstern Learned at Comic Con 2015
Morgenstern did what I could not: he found a picture of a Booster Gold cosplayer at Sand Diego Comic Con International 2015:
The pic comes to us by way of ProfessorWhat.tumblr.com under the label "Apparently the only Blue Beetle and Booster Gold at SDCC."
Before we leave the subject of Comic-Con for another year, I should mention that there was one additional Booster Gold reference made by a comics professional at the con. When io9.com's Cheryl Eddy asked Harley Quinn artist Chad Hardin who he'd like to get his hands on in the DC Universe, Hardin said this:
"I'd love Guy Gardner and Booster Gold, that whole trio of troublemakers from JLA in the 1980s. I think that'd be a lot of fun."
By trio, he must mean to include Blue Beetle. I think that'd be a lot of fun, too.
Thanks to Morgenstern for finding that cosplay pic.

What We Learned at Comic Con 2015
The big Booster Gold news from Comic Con appears to be that Booster will be appearing in a future issue of Bat-Mite [IGN.com]. We didn't need a convention to tell us that. We read Diamond Comic Distributors' Previews. Booster will appear in Bat-Mite #4 in September.
Given that DC just unleashed a slate of new series, we hoped that Booster Gold might have been discussed in relation to another upcoming title. He wasn't. It seems The Year of Booster Gold is beginning to lose some steam.
For the second year in a row, I haven't managed to spot a single Booster cosplayer among the thousands of costume pics. Not to denigrate the costumes I did see — the costumes at Comic-Con are truly staggering in both quality and originality — but two years in a row without Booster Gold is pretty bad. We can't expect to see Booster make the jump back to television or movies if he's already so far out of the public eye.
But hope springs eternal. The year isn't over yet. There's still plenty of time for DC to springs some good news on us. So bring it on, DC. We're ready and waiting.

What We Did Not Learn at Comic-Con 2014
I had reserved this space to show you the Booster Gold costumes that were pictured at Comic-Con this past weekend....
...but after looking through thousands of photos online, I still haven't spotted a single Booster Gold cosplayer from this year's convention. I'm sure that someone must have dressed like Booster Gold in San Diego — I mean, come on, we're talking about Booster Gold! — so if anyone can correct this oversight, please let us know.

What We Learned from Comic-Con 2014
On Friday, I mentioned that we'd discuss the Lego news from Comic-Con today. Even if you're already heard the big reveal, it bears repeating: Lego Skeets.
That's right, Booster Gold and Skeets will be among the 150 DC characters in this fall's LEGO Batman 3 video game from Traveler's Tales! The news was "leaked" on Twitter by @LEGOBatmanGame and reconfirmed during the "LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham" panel on Sunday (as reported by dcinfinite.com). LEGO Booster's biography has already been uploaded to Brickipedia!
The game is due this fall on every major gaming platform. You can find more details at Lego.com.

Here Comes Comic-Con 2014
It's that time of year again when thousands of pop culture fans flood San Diego. That's right, it's time for Comic-Con!
The picture above of a gender-flipped JLI was taken by David "DTJAAAAM" Ngo at last year's Comic-Con. You can find more of Ngo's cosplay pics at his website, www.dtjaaaam.com. Who knows what his lens will find this year?
BONUS COMIC-CON coverage: Chris Hardwick gave Booster Gold some love earlier this week on Comedy Central's @Midnight!
Don't get too excited. It ain't ever special edition Booster Gold action figures. Hardwick — he of the Nerdist Podcast and The Talking Dead — was making a joke, not an official announcement. You're not missing any Booster Gold action figures at Comic-Con (unless we're talking about the new Lego Batman 3 trailer — more on that on Monday).
You can find the whole @Midnight episode online at cc.com. (Be warned. It's funny, but its got some salty language.)
