I'm not trying to ruin anyone's week, but DC has released its solicitations for June, and as you can tell from the list at Newsarama.com, Booster Gold is nowhere to be seen. No solo title, no guest appearances, no nothing. Are we on the cusp of another long Booster Gold drought?

My favorite solicitation for June is the also rumored Infinity Man and the Forever People. Quote:

"Don't miss the start of this new series by Dan DiDio and Keith Giffen, the team that brought you the over-the-top adventures of O.M.A.C.!"

Why is it a selling point that the creators' last effort was among the first batch of cancellations following the New 52 relaunch? Sounds to me like we shouldn't expect more than 8 issues of Infinity Man. Maybe that will open up a slot for Booster Gold next February.

Thanks to Morgenstern for passing along the news in the Boosterrific Forum.

These days, I spend more time promoting a webcomic than I do any DC comic books. That's right, Yale Stewart is up to his old tricks, including Li'l Booster Gold in his JL8 webcomic.

It's good to see Booster Gold doing what he does best: taking advantage of the good things in life.

As always, I encourage you to check out the whole strip at jl8comic.tumblr.com.)

Thanks to Morgenstern for being the first to call this appearance to our attention.

You wearing green today? Booster Gold is.

from "The Greatest Story Never Told" Justice League Unlimited, 2004

That episode celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. My how time flies when there aren't any Booster Gold comics to read!

I asked last week's question because I was wondering how many of you were enjoying Arrow. Several of my non-comic reading friends love it, but I just can't seem to get into it.

Last week's poll question: Which series makes the best template for a Booster Gold television show? (50 votes)

I don't consider myself a journalist, but I don't like posting unsubstantiated rumors and avoid them whenever possible. If you sent me an anonymous email and told me that you knew Geoff Johns was going to be bringing back Skeets in an issue of Aquaman, I wouldn't mention it here without some form of corroboration. However, I make an exception from time to time when a rumor promotes something I want to see, like a new Booster Gold series. I trust that in such cases my audience can make a rational decision about the validity of the rumor.
