If you didn't pick up Blue Beetle #5 back in October 2023, now's your (second) chance as it is included in the collection Blue Beetle Volume 2: Forever Blue being released this week.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Over the weekend, I got the following message:

Hi, I made a song about Booster Gold called "The Kind Of World We're Living In"... I thought you might be interested ! It's available on most streaming platforms and my artist name is Namoratron. Your website is very cool, love Booster.

I'm a sucker for compliments, so I went looking and found Namoratron's song on youtube.com. Guess which hero was the inspiration for the album cover art?

Thanks for being a Booster Gold fan, Namoratron!

Every storyline in Justice League America #58 is a fight. Despero fights Lobo, Lobo fights Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle fights the Extremists, Despero fights Martian Manhunter.. and Booster Gold (and his force field) saves the day (twice)!

Booster Gold has two truly great pages in this. Page 14 is both fun and poignant, but Booster's star moment is page 18:

Whatta hero!

On the day after Christmas, I told the Guy Behind the Counter at my Local Comic Shop to stop pulling any DC books for me. So long as there's no Booster Gold in the DCU, I'm not buying.

This is probably a counter-productive strategy. I wasn't buying any of the Batman-centric books, and if all they sell anymore are Bat-books, they'll only make more Bat-books because something's got to pay the bills. If that's what the future holds, well, then the future will look a lot like the past.

Hey! Booster makes a quick cameo in the new DC Universe Infinite GO! comic Taste of Justice. While it's not out yet, they put out a holiday preview comic where [Booster Gold] appears in the Watchtower alongside other Justice League members, sporting what looks to be a denim jacket over his suit. I doubt the comic is set in main continuity, but it's still nice to see him.

Fall is one of several people to alert me to this, so I guess a lot of you are reading comics on DC Universe Infinite. Since that seems to be the only place to find new Booster Gold comics these days, maybe I should look into that.

This is the panel with Booster Gold (his only appearance in the entire preview story):

I'm not sure that's denim. Maybe it's his old Conglomerate jacket. (Please, please, please let it be his Conglomerate jacket.)

Will this be Booster's only appearance in this series? I doubt it. If you look real closely at the tiny series cover image, you'll see that Booster is there, too, holding up a hamburger and wearing a "#1 Golden Chef" apron.

Are we going to get a Booster Gold hamburger recipe? I sure hope so.

For the record, Taste of Justice (link: dcuniverseinfinite.com) is being advertised as launching "summer 2025." The title of the preview story is "Cookies in a Flash" credited to Andrew Aydin (writing), Domo (pencils & inks), Nick Filardi (colors), Micah Myers (letterer), Sabrina Futch (Associate Editor), and Katie Kubert (Editor).

Thanks all who let me know about this.
