The Gold Beetle returns — as a prisoner of the Linear Men! — in this week's The Flash #7:

written by Simon Spurrier, art by Ramon Perez

Seven issues into this latest Flash volume, it's still a big mystery what's actually going on (thanks, decompression!), so I can't explain it to you. What I can say for sure is that the mysterious Linear Man codenamed "Inspector Pilgrim" talking to Max Mercury and Impulse claims he and the detained Gold Beetle are "kinda family."

While I'm inclined to believe that "Inspector Pilgrim" is yet another future version of Jai West (who smooched with Gold Beetle during the One Minute War), I suppose it's a possibility that Pilgrim has some relationship with Booster Gold or Blue Beetle.

Maybe one day we'll find out.

There's a lot of terrible stuff going on in the world, and it's always nice to be reminded that there's some pretty great stuff, too.

It's only February and Cort Carpenter has been having a busy 2022 adding to his Booster Gold sketchbook. Most of the following were picked up at the recent Fan Expo 2022:

Yanick Paquette

Casey Parsons

Ramon Perez

Dax Gordine

As an added Bonus, Cort also completed some matched sets of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle!

Art Baltazar

Tom Grummett

Thanks, Cort! I don't know how you afford all these commissions in this economy, but keep up the great work.
