According to ComicsPriceGuide.com, Booster Gold, Vol. 1, #9 is worth about $3.00 in near-mint condition. According to Etsy.com, the same issue is worth more than $4.40 if you cut all the pages out.

JennsMinis is selling 12 pages from the issue in two separate listings (here and here). The issue originally contained 16 pages of story and ads. Even if you buy both listings, you'll still have to buy an intact issue and tear it apart yourself to complete your collection of loose pages.

I'm going to come right out and say it: I don't like George Romero-style zombies. I think they are the least plausible of all monster tropes, dumber even than sparkly vampires that spend their immortal lives doing biology homework. Therefore, I've never read an issue nor watched an episode of The Walking Dead.

That said, I'd like to bring you attention to the fact that YouTube auteur Propjosh, creator of three seasons of "Blue & Gold" comedy shorts, has opened his fourth season with an homage to The Walking Dead.

Because I've never seen a single anything about The Walking Dead, I can't tell you how it stands up to the original, or how it references its source material in any way. I can tell you, however, that there are some pretty funny moments, especially the surprise ending of who is filming whom.

I'm not going to embed the 6 minute video here — I'd rate it PG-13 for adult content — but you can easily get there yourself by following this link to YouTube.com.

Whether zombie films are my bag or not, I have to tip my hat to Propjosh for creating fan-films incorporating Booster Gold. Keep up the good work, Josh!

I'm not surprised over how many votes baseball and ice hockey got in this poll. After all, they are the Great American and Great Canadian sports. What does surprise me is how few votes basketball got, what with March Madness currently underway!

Last week's poll question: If Booster Gold's origin was revised to eliminate American football, which sport would you use instead? (48 votes)

Next Friday, April 12, the first part of Smallville: Season 11 #13 will be released digitally online. The story "Argo" re-teams the Superman and Booster Gold incarnations of television's Smallville continuity, and it's three parts will be collected into a single "floppy" issue next month. Are you planning to buy this issue one part at a time digitally, or are you willing to wait until it's in print to get your hands on it?

First David Zavimbe quit the Justice League International after Batwing #12. Now DC tells us he'll be quitting Batman Incorporated altogether in Batwing #19, released today.

So the question isn't whether Batman will be replacing Zavimbe as Batwing, but who Batman will be replacing Zavimbe with. In an interview with Vaneta Rogers at Newsarama.com, writer Jimmy Palmiotti described the new Batwing:

This new Batwing will be a character more people will relate to...or more likely wish they were. We are approaching this with the feeling of "what if Batman picked me as the next Batman" kind of feel. There is joy, chaos, over the top action and adventure and a lot of romance.

Working from clues dropped by Palmiotti and his co-creator Justin Gray, Keith Callbeck handicapped the identity of the new Batwing at Comicosity.com. Callbeck gives Booster Gold 250 to 1 odds to be the new Batwing. (Terry McGinnis is the favorite, at 5 to 1.)

We all know that Booster knows a thing or two about playing the odds, but we'll have to pick up Batwing #19 to see if he's the winner of this competition.

Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. They don't exist as a team in comics anymore, so it's a good thing we've got them in the real world now.
