The last time I ran one of these "New Release" warnings was over two months ago. It's good to have Booster Gold back in print, even in a small part in today's All-Star Western #28.

You can catch a preview of the issue over at Ain't It Cool News, but to see Booster Gold, you'll have to go to Comixology or your Local Comic Shop.

Buy this issue if you ever want to see Skeets again!

Tomorrow, Booster Gold is promised to return to the DCnU in All-Star Western #28. This will end the Booster Gold drought at 244 days. To put that in perspective: the 3 longest stretches without Booster Gold appearing in a DCU-continuity book:

1. 336 days between Superman #124 and Chase #4 (Apr. 1997 to Mar. 1998)
2. 302 days between Martian Manhunter #24 and JLA: Our Worlds At War (Sept. 2000 to July 2001)
3. 244 days between All Star Western #21 and All Star Western #28 (June 2013 to February 2014)

Where will Booster appear next? Who knows. The counter resets tomorrow, but we really need to get our hero in books more often than once a year!

I've been meaning to post this for the better part of a month. I'm not sure why it's taken me so long. It's not like there's any big Booster Gold news getting in the way.

That's TA Shepard's doodle of Booster Gold beating up on the Ultra-Humanite with an assist from a velociraptor (and a paraphrase of the opening line of Pride and Prejudice). In other words, it is pretty much everything that is awesome about super-hero comic books.

Earlier this week, DC released solicitations for books shipping in May. One of those books is a mini-series in which a hero will travel backwards through time in order to prevent an impending apocalypse. That series is Armageddon 2001 The Kingdom Infinite Crisis Futures End. Naturally, this time-traveling hero will be Booster Gold Batman. Because you can never have enough Batman.

With that premise, with Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens writing, and with Jurgens occasionally drawing, it seems impossible that Booster Gold won't at least appear somewhere in this series. Where that somewhere will be is anyone's guess. (The "entire DC Universe" is in issue #2. Booster wouldn't miss that, would he?)

We'll keep our eyes open for signs of our hero this May.

Given Booster's reputation with the ladies, Booster Gold must have made up half the audience at that first performance of Romeo and Juliet.

Last week's poll question: How does Booster Gold impress a date on Valentine's Day? (38 votes)

DC is obviously having a hard time figuring out what to do with Booster Gold. Do you have any ideas that could help them out?
