Russ Burlingame assures me that his latest "Gold Exchange" column with J.M. DeMatteis should be up at Comic Related today. However, I don't yet have that link. And you can find that article here, where you can read tidbits like this:

CR: And how does that kind of thing affect the really ambitious way that you guys had looked at The Perforated Man?

JMD: We'll see what happens. A lot depends on what we do in our last issue. As I said, our plan was to make him a major player who could be the Doctor Doom to Booster's Fantastic Four.

[UPDATED 1:17PM]: Just a quick reminder from Russ Burlingame: This is basically J.M. DeMatteis' exit interview. Although he'll keep doing "Gold Exchange" interviews between now and May, but he talks about the run and his regrets about leaving early with me in the first-ever "Panel Discussions" podcast (found here).

In addition to voicing the hilariously selfish exploration mission recordings in DC Universe Online, Booster Gold is a mini-boss in the "HIVE Base" Duos mission. Booster has been enslaved by the Queen Bee and is forced to battle heroes and endorse her mind-controlling hypno-pollen. It is up to a pair of level 30 players to defeat and free him from her control. Fortunately, Skeets is immune to the Queen Bee's charms, and gives the players the advice that they need to free Booster Gold.

So get to it, players. Booster Gold needs your help!

In his latest "Pow! to the People" column endorsing digital comics at playbackstl.com, famed Booster Gold fan Eddie Argos has admitted that he is out of touch with Booster Gold.

For the first time in about 20 years I have no idea what is going on with Booster Gold. I'm about 5 months behind. It feels like there is an empty hole in my life.

Ouch. Can it be any coincidence that about 5 months ago Argos, best known as the lead singer of Art Brut, released a digital album featuring a song about Booster Gold? Hmmm? If there's a lesson here, it's that DC needs to start releasing digital copies of Booster Gold. That, or rock stars are going to be forced to go without comic books. And no one wants that.

Booster Gold #41 is scheduled to hit stands today. The book is shipping one week later than expected, but Russ Burlingame told us in the forums that there was a reason. Maybe now we'll find out what that reason was. Buy it and make Skeets happy.
