Attention Geoff Johns: when you bring Booster Gold back in Justice League of America, please fix his costume.

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

Yes, we're running the poll a day early today so that everyone can enjoy their Thanksgiving turkey and football tomorrow. And because of the ongoing maintenance here at Boosterrific.com, there will be no new poll this week. Polling will resume next week, assuming everything gets working again. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

P.S. Comments are currently broken. I'll get them fixed as soon as possible (probably later today).

Given Booster Gold's current comics hiatus, this is a good time to look back at his publication history. I could simply tell you which 10 characters Booster has shared the most on-panel appearances with, but wouldn't it be more fun to guess?

The characters are listed below in descending order of quantity of appearances (totals in parentheses). I'll go ahead and give you the first one. (We all know who number 1 is!) Don't worry; suffixes don't matter for any of the remaining characters.

1. Blue Beetle II (212 shared appearances)
2. ________________ (144)
3. ________________ (140)
4. ________________ (117)
5. ________________ (115)
6. ________________ (107)
7. ________________ (105)
8. ________________ (94)
9. ________________ (87)
10. _______________ (82)

Good luck!

A brief word of warning: there's a much needed script upgrade going on behind the scenes here at Boosterrific.com this Thanksgiving holiday week, and it may result in some odd behavior. In fact, things just might stop working altogether.

Panel from Flash Annual #3. (No Booster Gold appearance.)

So if you find something wrong, don't panic. And if it doesn't get better after a time, drop a line to webmaster at Boosterrific.com, and I'll look into it. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Today marks the observance of the International Day of Tolerance, the day that the United Nations focuses the world's attention on non-violent tolerance of the diverse cultures of the world. Since Boosterrific.com is devoted to comic books, it is only natural that we celebrate with comic books!

In his role as a super hero, Booster Gold is unofficially dedicated to protecting the life and liberty of innocent peoples all over the world. Never has he demonstrated his dedication to this cause as when he stopped a eugenicist's mad scheme to rid the world of "undesirables" in Booster Gold, vol. 1, #17.

While you probably don't have 25th-century technology or a robot sidekick, you too can act like a super hero and promote tolerance and understanding. Simply be being respectful of others. Booster Gold would insist on it.

Today marks the observance of America Recycles Day, a day organized by Keep America Beautiful to promote national awareness of the benefits of waste recycling. Since Boosterrific.com is devoted to comic books, it is only natural that we celebrate with comic books, and in today's case, action figures!

DC's New 52 is nothing but an experiment in recycling ideas. I asked last week what you thought about recycling one of Booster's oldest powers, and a plurality of today's voters act like they've never even heard of it! Seriously, people, you're reading a site called Boosterrific and you haven't checked out our section on Booster Gold's powers?

Last week's poll question: Should Booster Gold use his long-ignored Mass Dispersal Force power in future adventures on TV or in the DCnU? (37 votes)

Today, through their website Matty Collector, Mattel releases Justice League Unlimited Booster Gold for the the last time. This release is part of the "Final Figures" series of JLU figures from Mattel, as the company tries to clean out their warehouse on this discontinued line of figures. The Booster in this set has been previously released in two different paints, so today's Booster Gold figure is really nothing new. That makes this Booster the perfect spokesman for America Recycles Day!

Booster aside, this "Final Figures" series 3-pack also includes exclusive versions of Blue Beetle and Fire, an ideal collectible for fans of the original Justice League International. If you're interested in acquiring limited edition set, act fast! Matty Collector figures don't last long, and this thirty dollar 3-pack is limited to quantities of 10. Hopefully, given Mattel's valiant effort at recycling figures, there will be enough sets to go to everybody who wants one.

Speaking of action figures, it seemed that Booster Gold got a new figure every year in recent years, but nothing since Flashpoint. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
