Continuing the count down to Comic-Con, the following image of Booster Gold and Skeets at Wondercon 2011 was published by Comics and Dakine back in April.

Booster Gold and Deathstroke may seem like an odd couple, but don't forget who got the best of whom in Booster Gold, Volume 2, #24!

The 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International kicks off this Thursday night. To get everyone in the mood as we count down the days to Friday's "Justice League" panel (which will hopefully contain some real news about the upcoming Justice League International series), let's take a look at some Booster Gold costumes that have appeared in just the last year.

What better way to start the week than with one of the latest fantastic fashions by Gina of Uncanny Adventures in Comic Costume Creations. This costume was worn to Wizard World Philadelphia 2011. It's hard to see in the above picture, but the star on that costume glows! (Follow the previous link to Gina's site for more details.)

We've met Gina before: she's responsible for that great costume featured here in the Boosterrific Blog back on January 20. Booster Gold is lucky to have such a fan.

Comic-Con International 2010 starts today at 10AM (not counting last night's preview, of course), and Justice League: Generation Lost writer Judd Winick will be among the DC writers at the "DC Writer's Unite!" panel starting at 10:15. By the time you read this, throngs of well-costumed men and women should be streaming into the San Diego Convention Center. Know that Boosterrific supports you, the costumed fan!

This is about as good a Booster Gold costume as you are ever likely to see. Boosterrific! Booster Gold at Comic-Con 2008 photo by GoofyGoof as posted at flikr.com.

Booster Gold plays a role in Time Masters: Vanishing Point #1 and Power Girl #14, both released today. Buy them both and make Skeets happy.

Do you know what else makes Skeets happy? Costumes! Comic-Con International 2010 starts tomorrow, and we're still showing our support.

This is not the best costume execution, but you've got to give this guy credit for attempting to get away with gold trackpants. Plus, he's got Skeets! Booster Gold at Comic Con 2007 photo by platypusofdoom as posted at flikr.com.
