Ekam Steeks a Puc-c!

Sufficiently advanced technology could be indistinguishable from magic, but Booster's 25th-century tech may have met its match in Zatanna's wand.

The delightful piece above of Zatanna working her magic on Blue and Gold (and Skeets!) was drawn as a commission by Loston Wallace. You can find more of Wallace's work on his website, lostonwallace.com, or over on deviantart.com.

Booster Gold War-Rocks Out!

If there's one thing this world needs, it's more songs about Booster Gold. Thankfully, there's Adam WarRock!

© Adam Warrock 2012

The Adam WarRock album You Dare Call That Thing Human?!? will be released on Monday, February 13. Track number 6 on the album is "Booster Gold," a hip hop song from the first person perspective of a very aggressive and angry Booster Gold. (Warning: Booster curses when he raps. Apparently, that's necessary for establishing "street cred.")

WarRock has firmly established a following among geek culture with his previous albums celebrating television's Firefly and Marvel Comic's Infinity Gauntlet. This new album has already received positive reviews from Newsarama and Wired.

You can pre-order the album as a digital download or compact disc at adamwarrock.com.

Before Booster Gold

Yesterday, when I was picking on Vixen, I honestly had no idea. Wow.

Last week's poll question: Which current DCnU JLI member would you prefer to see leave the team? (41 votes)

Which current DCnU JLI member would you prefer to see leave the team?

DC must be schizophrenic. First the company strong arms its readers into the future with the all-new, all-different DCnU. Then it decides to release books with events and characters that take place before a comic mini-series released 2-and-a-half decades ago. Sigh.

Since DC is determined to mine its history for material, we fans should do our best to help out. Speak up and tell us what other Booster Gold-related classic comics you want to read prequel stories about.

Booster Gold Versus Roulette

With the coming of the New 52, DC released a glut of new books on the market. Readers bought far more books then they typically would in the initial excitement in order to sample the offerings of this brave new world.

Unfortunately, that buying pace cannot be sustained. Because so much capital was expended during the buying frenzy generated during the initial hype, fewer titles can be purchased going forward, so the hype ends up detrimental in the long run as it forces buyers to be more selective than they would otherwise have been. And thus this hype cycle ends up damaging sales, not increasing them.

Justice League International volume 3 vs Booster Gold volume 2 sales

At least that's my theory. I'm also blaming Vixen: so far she's just dead weight.
