New Releases: Blue Beetle #11
Booster Gold makes an appearance in today's Blue Beetle #11 as the hero trying to help Blue Beetle with his public image problem. In the online preview at Crave Online, Booster acts a lot like his Smallville interpretation, schmoozing with the television cameras for his own agenda, whatever that may be.
Buy this issue, if for no other reason than to support the fact that Booster's ridiculous DCnU notched headband has finally been discarded! That's enough to make Skeets happy! (Thanks to MetalWoman for the link.)

Art That Will Nauck Your Socks Off
Today's fan art comes from someone overqualified for the position, Todd Nauck.
Nauck is an accomplished professional comic book artist with a significant pedigree. DC fans may know Nauck best as the artist behind Young Justice in the 90s, but he appeared at both the Image Comics and Marvel Comics booths at last week's Comic-Con. Nauck does have a little experience with Booster Gold, drawing him only briefly in 1998's Legends of the DC Universe 80-Page Giant.
Find more of Nauck's spectacular work on ToddNauck.com, DeviantArt.com, and your local comic store shelves.

What We Learned This Weekend
Three things overheard this weekend at Comic-Con International 2012:
1. Screenwriter Andrew Kreiseberg on the progress of the Booster Gold television show being developed by SyFy (as interviewed by IGN.com):
"[I'm] handing in the script next month. It was actually pretty cool because I got to meet Dan Jurgens who created the comic book last night, and I spent about a half an hour convincing him that I wasn't just some gun for hire, that I was actually a huge fan of Booster as a kid. I wrote a couple of episodes of the Justice League animated series and when they asked me who I wanted to write, I said 'Booster'. So I've been a life-long Booster fan."
2. DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns discussing the Justice League International Annual at the "DC Comics: Justice League and Green Lantern" panel (according to Newsarma.com):
"It's really a Booster Gold story."
3. DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio elaborating on what to expect in the Justice League International Annual at the "DC Comics: Meet the Publishers" panel (according to Comicbook.com):
We wrapped up some stories, especially Booster Gold's, where we see some strange things happen to Booster, Blue Beetle, and the August General."
Thanks to MetalWoman and Russ Burlingame for the tips.

Why Friday the 13th is Scary
Aaah! It's Booster's evil twin from the Power Posse (as seen in JLA Classified #8)! But, no, this "cosplay" posted on the tumblr blog of Cool Guy Errant isn't what makes today so scary. No, that honor goes to the news that one of today's DC Comics panels at Comic-Con International will be devoted to a love-fest for the New 52. *shudder*
4:15-5:15 DC Comics-The New 52— DC Comics-The New 52 and The New 52 Wave 2 are the industry's most talked about industry-shattering events. Although the landscape has changed, we're not done making news! Be a part of history as panelists discuss what's coming next in this exciting time for DC Entertainment.
With both Dan Jurgens and DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns on today's panel, maybe we might finally learn what Booster will be up to after Justice League International. Keep your fingers crossed, Boosterphiles!

Everybody's Talking About It
Booster Gold could be as bad an actor as Joe Montana, and I suspect that I would still watch him play a cadaver on CSI: New York.
Last week's poll question: If Booster Gold became an actor, what sorts of roles would you expect to find him cast in? (37 votes)
Comic-Con International 2012 is underway in San Diego, and you can hear it all the way out here on the east coast. With the injection of Hollywood appeal, this event is now estimated to generate nearly $200 million for the city of San Diego this week alone. That's about the total gross profit of all domestic comics sold so far this year! Now that Comic-Con, once the mother of all comic book conventions, is a cross-media institution unto itself, how do you feel about its role as the modern geek Mecca?
