This is pretty fantastic!
Loving to see Ted and Booster next to each other!
Such iconic recognisable logos/shirt designs! :D

That's pretty good, M. A couple of corrections:
Row 2, Column 5 is a White Lantern costume not a Black Lantern;
Row 5, Column 2 is Parallax;
Row 5, Column 4 is the Anti-Monitor;
Row 6, Column 4 is Mister Miracle (Miracle Man is the American alias of the British Marvel Man, a character whose ownership has been in legal limbo for nearly 2 decades);
Row 6, Column 5 is Citizen Steel.

And while we're at it, let's give Doctor Fate (Row 5, Column 5) credit for his advanced degree in Order. The name Fate alone specifically references his edgy, 1990s incarnation, and his costume, such as it was, was decidedly less spiffy.

I'm just now finding this on your website so late but I am the creator of all of these and would like to get credit back to where I posted them if you dont mind! I posted my tumbler where they were originally posted also this site found them and gave me credit http://firestormfan.com/2012/05/09/dustin-von-doom/ Thanks!

Nope, I don't mind one bit. I'm all too happy to give credit to the creator of such a fine work.

Grimmy posted on Mar. 22, 2012 at 10:33 AM
I still think he's working offscreen to get Booster back to the DCoU.

ie DC's escape mechanism if the relaunch sales go south.

Eyz posted on Mar. 22, 2012 at 12:33 PM
Heck, we're barely getting any background characters-screentime as it is. Just heroes and villains, ducking it out, non-stop action....

Sigh....

I'll go with Grimmy option above, working on a way to get Booster and the whole DCU back on track.

Perhaps they're still working on a cool "New 52" design for him?

Nowen posted on Mar. 23, 2012 at 9:53 PM
Grimmy that's not a terrible idea.

Morgenstern posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 10:10 AM
The art doesn't even look that bad on this one pic..for Extreme Justice. I mean it is till far from good, but much better than what else I saw of that title.

Also..uh speaking as someone who is not from the Colonies, that speech would have left me rather confused than roused, at least the first part. Than again..at least Aquaman was not singing.

Grimmy posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 11:07 AM
Happy birthday Mark, thank you for not putting Booster in "Kingdom Come".

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 2:58 PM
Morgenstern: That image is from JUSTICE LEAGUE TASK FORCE #14 and is by Sal Velluto and Jeff Albrecht. Their art is pretty good, mainly because they have some knowledge of how to lay out panels. The art by Marc Campos is much worse in the regular JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA title and would be even worse in EXTREME JUSTICE, which wouldn't start its run for about 6 more months later.

Grimmy: Booster is mentioned but not seen in KINGDOM COME #1 as the manager of Planet Krypton. We finally meet him in that role in KINGDOM COME THE KINGDOM: PLANET KRYPTON #1. Both of those books, obviously, were written by Mark Waid.

Grimmy posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 3:49 PM
Boosterrific, you mean "The Kingdom" #1? Same Earth22 universe, different series. Sorry, my OCD is kicking in today.
My "thank you" was sincere, the 4 issue "Kingdom Come" series is too dark a place for Booster IMHO. I should correct myself tho, that series was Alex Ross's baby and Mark Waid was teamed with him due to his strong familiarity with the history of DC superheroes.
I haven't read any of "The Kingdom" books.

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 5:20 PM
Oops. Yes, I had the name wrong. I knew better. Can I blame a typo?

If you really want to get into a discussion about sharing credit for KINGDOM COME, you have to mention Alan Moore. KC was clearly based on the unpublished Alan Moore proposal TWILIGHT OF THE SUPERHEROES. (Those unfamiliar can find a basic summary of that story on Wikipedia.) Yes, it is the art of Alex Ross that really made KINGDOM COME a smash hit, but the story shares too many elements with TWILIGHT to for me to comfortably give sole credit to Ross and Waid. (I don't mean to suggest that DC didn't have the right to rework the proposal. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't: I'm in no position to adjudicate that decision. However, if we can't mention WATCHMEN without giving credit to the Charlton characters as it seems everyone has to do all the time now, it seems that KINGDOM COME shouldn't be discussed without crediting the TWILIGHT proposal.)

Grimmy posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 6:23 PM
Yep I completely agree, sorry I forgot the TWILIGHT connection. Can I blame old age?

I was referring to the KINGDOM COME Wiki entry to refresh my memory on that series development. And YES Alan Moore is GREAT. I especially enjoyed his ABC books.

You know, there's someone ELSE with a Booster Gold connection who had a birthday yesterday, too...!

Happy belated birthday, Russ! When it's your 50th birthday, I'll run a spotlight column on you!

The Irredeemable Shag posted on Mar. 26, 2012 at 11:19 PM
Happy Belated Birthday to Mark Waid! He's phenomenal! His Flash run is still my favorite of the speedsters series.

So let me get this right... Booster was killed by one of the Overmaster's henchmen? Overmaster?!?? Seriously? The guy Justice League Detroit beat? That's like losing to some guy that was defeated by the Inferior Five.

Next you'll tell me Booster was killed by someone pathetic like Giganta. Oh wait...

I think part of the issue is that Arrow's script was already written and sold to the studio, whereas they basically picked Booster's name out of a hat and had to hire someone to write it. I could be wrong.

Morgenstern posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 12:14 PM
This had me worried a while back and tried to find more info about the...well..lack of infos. What I found was a comparison to the Syfy show Alphas, where between ordering the first script, announcing cast infos and actually airing the pilot a year passed each.

For Booster this would mean (using the same time-scale) that we would get the first infos about casting & crew in fall and the pilot would air the next. Now I am not claiming that this means that the pilot is safe, but rather that there is still some chances for it. (Further CW is in dire need of new Pilots quickly. Syfy not so much)

Also..uh..has anyone tried to simply ask Kreisberg or Berlanti Productions if they have any updates on Booster Gold?

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 2:19 PM
Sorry. I wasn't trying to say that the show was never going to happen. I was just trying to suggest that it is unlikely to happen this year. I still hope.

deusex2 posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 2:55 PM
GAH! I can't believe they picked Green Arrow over Booster Gold! CURSE YOU SMALLVILLE! And curse Smallville fanboys!

*breathes in and out*I'm calm-ish.

I guess it's tolerable, so long as there's still a chance. I mean hey-I've waited several years for BG to appear on Smallville! Waiting another year shouldn't be much of a challenge.

But still, darn...Who in his right mind would pick a dude in a green costume with a bow over Booster Gold?! I mean even Booster's comics were always more entertaining than GA.

Jesster posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 6:03 PM
All I have to say is that at no time in Booster Gold's history has he ever been blown up and replaced by his illegitimate son, and that alone makes him 100% more marketable. Plus Booster has the superior supporting cast with Rip and Michelle, not to mention the greatest partner any hero or TV show could ever want in Skeets. Really the possibilities are endless and it just goes to show that Hollywood doesn't know a great idea when it time travels their into their lap. Maybe we should all get together and produce our own pilot to sell.

Grimmy posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 11:05 AM
I actually hope that we don't see Booster by this fall (don't everyone shoot me just yet), considering how little (none) information we've had since the order for a script. Which I take to mean no significant action has occurred on the project yet. So if a Booster pilot does make it to the screen by this Fall it will probably be a hastily assembled low quality project, not good for anyone. My plan is to wait patiently for further updates through the Summer and hope for some good news by Thanksgiving.
I think the news that "Arrow" is far enough along for a Fall release is actually good news for Booster, it just means that Kreisberg is probably freer to work on a "Booster" script.

Morgenstern posted on Mar. 19, 2012 at 10:24 AM
"Who was that kid?"

Black Beetle's daughter? I mean come on, they only had ca 15 issues to flesh her out! That is not nearly enough to get anything done obviously!

Grimmy posted on Mar. 19, 2012 at 1:49 PM
Was Rani meant to be a reference to the old Dr Who villainess? We may never know...

russburlingame posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 10:57 AM
I believe that DeMatteis told me during a conversation (not an interview, and therefore a little more candid) that there were no specific plans for her to be anyone special. I'll have to touch base with him again to see if I'm remembering correctly, but I think Rani was just meant to be Rani.

Grimmy posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 5:38 PM
Thanks, you're probably right. I'm sure it's just my devious "fanboy" mind working overtime.

Eyz posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 6:07 AM
Come on guys! She was just a "supporting character", something that is quite missing a lot from current modern comics. Nowadays, we just have action scenes one after the other. A supporting cast serves to develop the hero and give some character interaction. Like Dirk or Trix' in the good ol' classic Booster Gold series!

Grimmy posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 7:59 PM
Yeah, I know but that's what we thought Max was before he became EEEEEvil Bwahahah

Seriously Eyz, Great pic. Love the color :)

MadR posted on Mar. 22, 2012 at 12:45 AM
I was always a bit terrified that they were going to pull the 'Rani grows up to be Booster's Wife/Rip's mother.' on us.

Eyz posted on Mar. 22, 2012 at 5:39 AM
(I was honestly getting the same vibes, but I guess that's because of the lack of purpose that was around Rani, we started interpreting things as such..)
