Ferret Press chose Booster Gold as the subject of their semi-regular Character Wednesday sketches this week. The following was Steve Black's submission:

That's a pretty fitting image given the mood of the latest issue (and the latest sales numbers). Find a larger copy of the above image plus several others at ferretpress.com. (More about those sales numbers on Monday.)

Now that I have a computer that may actually be able to play DC Universe Online, I'm probably a little more excited about the game due out this coming February. Especially after reading the following:

There are also secondary quests that are given through interactions with the world such as the aforementioned kiosk which begins a series of quests that show you around the landmarks of the zones (for those that like the DC lore, Booster Gold drives you around these quests and each area you visit is accompanied by a nice little fly around and commentary by Booster Gold throwing in the expected Booster Gold product placement which I had to laugh at sometimes).

Having previously learned that Booster would be the game's tour guide from Massively.com's interview with Chris Cao, I returned to that source for more information. Sure enough, Larry Everett confirms this in a recent review of the game.

In each safehouse, Booster Gold has kiosks that grant tour missions. Each one of these level-appropriate guided tours takes you to all the important places around Gotham City and Metropolis while the tour guide gives humorous commentary about himself and the various locations.

What I still don't know is who is voicing Booster Gold (Tom Everett Scott?). Whoever it is, if Booster is selling, I'm buying.

It's been a month and a half since the publication of an issue of Time Masters: Vanishing Point. So with Vanishing Point #5 finally coming out tomorrow (fingers crossed), perhaps you should take a minute and review issue #4 with the assistance of Dan Jurgens, courtesy of Russ Burlingame's "Gold Exchange" column at newsarama.com.

While you are over there, you may also want to catch up on Burlingame's "Gold Exchange" interview with J.M. DeMatteis about Booster Gold #38. It was a little late when Burlingame published it, and I'm referring to it later still because of recent technical difficulties. But better late than never, right?

It seems that Boosterrific isn't the only thing experiencing severe technical difficulties these days. Yesterday, the Teflon roof of the Minneapolis Metrodome collapsed under the weight of accumulated snow, diverting a scheduled Sunday Minnesota Vikings game to tonight in Detroit.

The Metrodome has suffered collapse on several other occasions. Of course, Booster Gold was present for the most severe structural failure when the aliens from Dimension X used the Metrodome as a staging ground for their invasion of Earth. If marauding aliens cannot stop the Metrodome, a little snow won't keep a good Dome down.

Just as resilient is Boosterrific, which has now fully recovered from a system failure last week. I have already updated Booster Gold #39 and Justice League: Generation Lost #15. Because I'm a completist, I'll soon be adding every other DC Universe book released last week since Booster appeared in the "DC Nation" column. (Figures that it would happen this week.) Thank you for your patience.
