Convergence Wave 2 Reunites the JLI

Blastr.com has some of the solicitations for the second wave of Convergence minis, and it looks like there's at least one that will include Booster Gold:

JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL
(Writer: Ron Marz; Artist: Mike Manley, with color by Sotocolor)
The levity of the JLI team collides with the severity of the world of Kingdom Come.

I didn't include the pic from the solicitation — you can see it at Blastr.com — specifically because it doesn't include Booster Gold. For that matter, neither does the solicitation text. But DC can't revisit the JLI without including Booster Gold, can they?

For those of you too young to remember, Ron Marz never actually wrote a single issue of Justice League International. Most of us know Marz as the man who turned Green Lantern Hal Jordan into the villain Parallax and introduced his replacement, Kyle Rayner. It should be interesting to see Marz's take on the signature stylings of Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis.

I'm Not Done Talking about Lego Batman 3 Yet

According to imdb.com, Travis Willingham is the voice of Booster Gold in Batman Lego 3. And thanks to ShockblastMedia at youtube.com, you can now see Booster Gold in the game itself. (This video is the definition of "spoilers" as it shows how to unlock Booster as a playable character, so watch at your own risk, Lego players.)

Did you see that "Booster Gold Hat" at 1:52? Is that awesome or what?

Brusha Brusha Brusha

Booster Gold has endorsed a lot of products over the years, including sodas, candies, and coffees. Those products are terrible on teeth. It figures that Booster has also put his name on at least two brands of toothpaste. The Corporate Crusader gets you coming and going!

I have a dental appointment today, which got me thinking about Booster Gold's million-dollar smile. Does Booster use his own toothpaste? Does he need to, or has 25th-century science created the cavity-proof tooth? If they can laminate the tongue to aid dieting, can they laminate teeth to prevent decay?

Whatever Booster does, it works. His teeth always look great.

The Rematch of the 30th Century

Is that Booster Gold lined up against the clone of Superman? It's about time the Man of Tomorrow was knocked down a peg!

Whatever Happened to the Man of Gold?

The fans have spoken! You want better tracking of alternate continuities, and I agree. Once I have modified the Boosterrific database to be able to track such things, I'll go back and reclassify each issue according to continuity and chronology within that continuity. I'll change the individual book listings to link within those continuities and also build new pages to output the new lists. That probably sounds like more work than it is, but I'd still better get cracking if I want to have that done in time for Convergence in April! (You know, having too much Booster Gold to track is a good problem to have.)

Last week's poll question: How should Boosterrific.com handle continuity of appearances? (53 votes)

How should Boosterrific.com handle continuity of appearances?

If you aren't aware, DC has announced the first 10 of their 2-part mini-series replacing their regular titles in April/May. (See the list on ComicBookResources.com.)

The good news is that most of these stories take place in the DCU abandoned after Flashpoint. The bad news is that there has yet to be any mention of Booster Gold. Dan Jurgens, Booster's creator and the writer of Booster Gold: Futures End #1, has already been announced as the writer for Superman. Where does that leave our hero?
