Fighting the Future
Oh, Trixie Collins. Booster Gold wasn't good enough for you!
Last week's poll question: Who makes the best love interest for Booster Gold? (52 votes)
Yesterday we heard that Rip Hunter won't be part of September's Booster Gold: Futures End. Rip Hunter played no part in other big time-travel events, such as Armageddon 2001, Zero Hour, or Flashpoint. Should Futures End be any different?

Looking into the Near Future
John Babos recently interviewed Dan Jurgens for Comics Nexus. Jurgens has been busy lately and has a lot to say about Aquaman and Futures End. However, Boosterrific.com is a Booster Gold fansite, so let's cut to the chase:
Comics Nexus - Any chance we'll see Rip Hunter and any of the gang from your most recent Booster Gold series somewhen soon?
Dan Jurgens - [Booster Gold: Futures End] is all about Booster at this point. Time to let the readers know what he's been up to!
Depending on how you feel about Booster's supporting cast, that's either good news or bad news. I know Skeets isn't too happy about it.
If you're not afraid of a few spoilers, you can read the rest of the interview (both Part 1 and Part 2) at InsidePulse.com.

Booster Gold Needs No Doctor
Remember back in April when CaptainHeq begged for votes for Booster Gold in the #TimeChallenge? You made his dream come true. Not only has Booster Gold made the final vote, as I type this, he's beating Doctor Who!
If you want to help pad Booster's lead, head over to radiobastard.com and vote!

Where Were You When You Met Booster Gold?
I'm sure most fans remember their first encounter with their favorite hero. I remember when I first saw the cover to Booster Gold, Vol. 1, #1 back in 1985. The author of the Super Fan articles at imstillakid.com remembers his first encounter with Booster Gold too:
I had started collecting the retooled Justice League title in 1987 from the first issue of this new series. In the fourth issue, weasely businessman Maxwell Lord found his way into the JL's headquarters and immediately demands Booster Gold's inclusion on the team. Having no familiarity with the character whatsoever (this was long before the halcyon days of the Internet to look things up), I thought "who's this nerd"?

Never Forget Extreme Justice
I started the week with one Extreme Justice homage, so I'm going to close the week with another one.
That's Blue and Gold at their 1990s best (worst?) by Ammotu. You can find more work by Ammotu at DeviantArt.com.
