Over on her blog at Exploring the Time Lab, Erin is working her way through reviewing the original Booster Gold comics. She's already up to issue 5.

• Issue 1 introduces our hero.
• Issue 2 introduces our hero to adversity.
• Issue 3 kills Skeets.
• Issue 4 teams Booster with Thorn.
• Issue 5 introduces the Boostermobile!

She's working fast. By the time you read this, she may already be on to volume 2!

It's been nearly 6 months since Booster Gold appeared in a DCnU-continuity book. This isn't the first time Booster has clocked out for an extended period. Back in 1997, Booster made only 2 DCU appearances, one of which was in Superboy and the Ravers #8.

Blue Beetle and Booster Gold made a cameo appearance tring to pick up one of the Ravers in Guy Gardner's bar, Warrior's. It may not have been their finest moment, but it was certainly one of their funniest.

This classic Blue and Gold moment was brought to you in part by Ravers co-writer Steve Mattsson, who celebrates his 54th birthday today. Mattsson made a name for himself in the 1980s with Boris the Bear, a title known for its scything commentary of contemporary pop-culture trends. That's a good pedigree for someone writing for Booster Gold!

Happy Birthday, Mr. Mattsson. Celebrate with a "Loose Cannon" on us!

This time last year, Kumogorochan was working on an art advent calendar for Christmas. His entry for December 11 was our favorite hero, Booster Gold.

For those of you who don't know (I sure didn't), the "It's a Must" is a reference to a popular Swedish soft drink popular around Christmas. You can see that bottle in this commercial.

Even in Sweden, Booster plays product pitchman!

You can find more of Kumagorochan's advent calendars (and other work) on DeviantArt.com.

Better late than never.

Last week's poll question: Do you think DC will make a Booster Gold movie before 2015? (54 votes)

Some pitchmen aren't appropriate for some products. For example, you'd hardly want Charlie Sheen to endorse your health food products, would you? Likewise, Booster Gold is better suited for some endorsements rather than others.

It's been awhile since we've seen Booster Gold in a DC comic. Maybe he's been busy recording his life story to audio book.

That's our hero, "the most awesome hero there is," making a cameo in today's Smallville: Alien #1. That truck driver is in Russia, meaning that even in comics, Booster has a worldwide audience!

Thanks to Herbert Fung, who spotted this panel when it was released online in back in November.
