Smallville: Chaos #3 came out last week, in which we find that Lex Luthor doesn't think any more highly of Booster Gold than Lois Lane did.

Smallville: Chaos #1. Writer: Bryan Q. Miller, Art: Daniel HDR, Colors: Carrie Strachan

Poor Ted Kord and Micheal Holt. Why is everybody so down on them for hiring the World's Greatest Hero?

This issue is available online at Comixology.com now for 99¢. The printed edition collecting the first 3 digital installments as Smallville Season 11: Chaos #1 should be coming to your Local Comic Shop on August 13, 2014 with a cover price of $3.99. (If you delay buying this until the collected edition comes out, you'll pay an extra dollar! So what are you waiting for?)

Each of the 3 digital installment of Smallville: Chaos to date has referenced or included Booster Gold. With 9 more chapters to go, can writer Bryan Q. Miller keep up this pace? We sure hope so.

Mogo is a living planet that first appeared in the Alan Moore story "Mogo Doesn't Socialize" in 1985, and in the years since has gone on to become one of the most powerful members of the Green Lantern Corps. That makes it all the more impressive to discover that Mogo is less powerful than Booster Gold.

At least in the video game Infinite Crisis.

Fragment of Mogo vs Booster Gold
These 2 items have become virtually the same item.
...
I have the impression that at this point Booster Gold is clearly a better pick.

That observation comes from poster Rikishin at the Infinite Crisis Forum, where it was generally agreed that Booster is better than Mogo. (You can find out yourself: Infinite Crisis is in open beta development at InfiniteCrisis.com.)

Both Booster and Mogo debuted in 1985, and both are virtually unknown among people who don't read DC Comics publications. As great as it is that Booster Gold comes out on top, it's just nice to see that someone is still talking about them all these years later in the Internet age.

If I told you to draw "Booster Gold and Skeets," odds are your drawing wouldn't look like this:

That drawing, by jaznaju, comes to us by way of Drawception.com, a web-based, visual game of telephone. Like traditional games of telephone, where whispered messages can experience hysterical generation loss between speaker and listener, the most amusing Drawception games occur when someone encounters a phrase they don't understand. Like when you tell someone who doesn't read comic books to draw "Booster Gold and Skeets."

If that sounds like your kind of fun, check out Drawception.com.

I really wish I'd found this sooner:

On DeviantArt.com, cosplayer Vanessa takes credit for her role as a humanoid Skeets:

This is from about a year back [at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo 2013] where my bf and I were Booster Gold and a humanoid Skeets at Comikaze. :D It was our first cosplay and we really didn't know what the hell we were doing. Only one person got that I was Skeets (lol), but after I told the admiring Booster Gold fans, they were very excited. I've never seen a Skeets cosplay, so I thought I was pretty darn original, and the people who got it loved it. The best part was that every time I sat down I would leave a glittering gold butt print. It was great.

What a great idea!

The photo was taken by David Ngo, whose cosplay galleries on Flickr.com are truly staggering. You can see more of Vanessa's ideas at Fatalist555.DeviantArt.com.

I'm left wondering if there is a big overlap between cosplayers and fan-fiction writers.

Last week's poll question: What type of fan art have you created to celebrate Booster Gold? (57 votes)

I finally got my hands on the "Heroes Unite" expansion for DC Comics Deck-Building Game. Now I can play as Booster Gold! Whoo-hoo! How do you like to play with Booster?
