You Go, Girls!

I'm typing this at 12:20 AM, and it's possible, likely even, that by the time you read this, DC will have released their full list of solicitations for April. Judging by the news DC has been peddling for the past week, I don't expect to see Booster Gold anywhere in there.

However, DCComics.com has already announced that there is a new Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over mini-series coming from the pen of Joanne Starer, who also wrote 2023's Fire and Ice: Welcome to Smallville. I am on record as being somewhat lukewarm on that series, but although DC has refused to give any sales numbers for any of its titles since 2020, I think we can say that series must have sold a very healthy amount of comics if DC is already making six more.

Compare that to the Blue and Gold mini-series of 2021 which did so well that not only was there no follow-up, DC has now excommunicated Booster Gold from the DC Universe and made sure Ted Kord has forgotten his best friend ever existed. Ouch.

UPDATE: As expected, solicitations are up at AIPTcomic.com, and no sign of Booster Gold. Keep your eyes on DC All In/Absolute Universe 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1 coming May 3, because that story at least provides the opportunity for a Booster mention before DC rolls into its "Summer of Superman."

Lump of Coal

The text under the masthead above currently reads "It has been 83 Days since Booster Gold last appeared in an in-continuity DCU comic book." Judging by the contents of DC's March solicitations, which is now available at AIPTComics.com and gives no indication that any new Booster Gold adventures will be coming before the end of winter, Booster boosters can look forward to at least 99 more Booster-free days to come.

That's 182 days (6 months!), which is a long time, sure, but it's only the seventh longest we've ever gone between Booster Gold appearances. The last time our hero was trapped in an alternate universe (see: Justice League International Volume 3 Annual), he was absent from comics for 238 days. Surely this absence won't be as long as that, right? Right?

Complete 2007 Series Book Two Coming in April

DC released their February 2025 solicitations late last week, and while there's still no sign of Booster Gold returning to the DCU, I'm not mad. DC is kindly allowing me to save up my money to buy this:

© DC Comics

BOOSTER GOLD: THE COMPLETE 2007 SERIES BOOK TWO
Written by DAN JURGENS and KEITH GIFFEN
Art by DAN JURGENS, MIKE NORTON, and more
Cover by DAN JURGENS and NORM RAPMUND
$29.99, 440 Pages, Softcover, ISBN: 978-1-79950-103-9, On Sale April 8

Though Booster yearns for the simple life, destiny has thrust the responsibility of time itself in his hands. As the time stream goes awry and the past unravels, he must put history back in its place before existence vanishes entirely! Collects
Booster Gold #15-31 and The Brave and the Bold #23.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, Volume One was released in April 2024. I wonder if that means we should expect the third (and likely final) volume in April 2026?

You can find this and the rest of DC's solicitations at AIPTComics.com.

Playing Around with Action Comics 1076

The Blot got in touch this weekend to say, well, this:

Hey! Check out this McFarlane Toys Super Powers variant cover to Action Comics #1076 featuring the latest Booster Gold action figure. Kinda crazy. Just learned about it.

Good find, Blot!

According to the original DC Comics November 2024 solicitation, Action Comics #1076 will have six different covers: Cover A, two artist variants, a Creature Commandos variant, a McFarlane Toys variant, and a 1:25 retailer incentive variant. As we now know, this is the McFarlane Toys one of those.

DC's distributor, Lunar Distribution, has this listed as a "ACTION COMICS #1076 CVR E MCFARLANE TOYS CARD STOCK VAR" with cover price of $5.99. The book will be released on November 20, but If you want it, be sure to tell your Local Comic Shop today, as today is the Final Order Cut-off deadline for orders.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Blot.

Batten Down the Hatches

DC released their January 2022 solicitations late last week (you can read them at AIPTComics.com), and I don't want to alarm anyone, but for the third consecutive month, Booster Gold was nowhere to be seen.

It's already been 20 days since we last saw Booster in a comic book, and if solicitations are any guide (and they usually are), we won't be seeing new adventures of our hero until at least February 1, another 101 days yet. That's a long time.

Why is it that just when DC launches the "all in" Justice League Unlimited era, they take Booster Gold off the table?
