New Releases: Power Girl and DCU Online
Earlier this week, DC released a pic of Power Girl's DCnU costume. (Summary: impractical boob-window closed = good; solid white leotard with nearly a dozen prominent seams = bad.) To make way for its latest fashion nightmare, DC will release the collected final eight issues of PG's previous series today in Power Girl: Old Friends.
Many of the issues in this collection tied into events in Justice League: Generation Lost. As a result, Booster Gold appeared in Power Girl #19, #20, and #21. That -- and the knowledge that this is the last you'll see of PG's décolletage for the foreseeable future -- should be all the reason you need to pick up this collection.
And for you completists out there -- because let's face it, if you are buying a Power Girl collection for Booster Gold appearances, you are probably buying everything with a Booster Gold appearance in it -- note that Booster Gold makes a cameo appearance in today's DC Universe Online Legends #23. This appearance is out of continuity, but what is continuity these days, anyway?
Consider buying one or more of these issues and make out-of-continuity Skeets happy.

What do you do if you, like Booster Gold, literally have women beating down your door?

Ekam Steeks a Puc-c!
Sufficiently advanced technology could be indistinguishable from magic, but Booster's 25th-century tech may have met its match in Zatanna's wand.
The delightful piece above of Zatanna working her magic on Blue and Gold (and Skeets!) was drawn as a commission by Loston Wallace. You can find more of Wallace's work on his website, lostonwallace.com, or over on deviantart.com.

Booster Gold War-Rocks Out!
If there's one thing this world needs, it's more songs about Booster Gold. Thankfully, there's Adam WarRock!
The Adam WarRock album You Dare Call That Thing Human?!? will be released on Monday, February 13. Track number 6 on the album is "Booster Gold," a hip hop song from the first person perspective of a very aggressive and angry Booster Gold. (Warning: Booster curses when he raps. Apparently, that's necessary for establishing "street cred.")
WarRock has firmly established a following among geek culture with his previous albums celebrating television's Firefly and Marvel Comic's Infinity Gauntlet. This new album has already received positive reviews from Newsarama and Wired.
You can pre-order the album as a digital download or compact disc at adamwarrock.com.

Before Booster Gold
Yesterday, when I was picking on Vixen, I honestly had no idea. Wow.
Last week's poll question: Which current DCnU JLI member would you prefer to see leave the team? (41 votes)
DC must be schizophrenic. First the company strong arms its readers into the future with the all-new, all-different DCnU. Then it decides to release books with events and characters that take place before a comic mini-series released 2-and-a-half decades ago. Sigh.
Since DC is determined to mine its history for material, we fans should do our best to help out. Speak up and tell us what other Booster Gold-related classic comics you want to read prequel stories about.
