All in One
Earlier this week, Reddit.com user TrailerDrake posted his infographic on his favorite hero (guess who?):

Let's see: From the 25th century? Check. Skeets? Check. JLI? Check. "Saved the universe multiple times"? Check.
Looks pretty good to me. Think there's anything he left out?

Comic Book Speculating
Not too long ago, there was a brief discussion in the Boosterrific Forum about an apparent price increase in Booster Gold back issues. At the time, I assumed that it couldn't have anything to do with a Booster Gold television show because it had been a few years since there was any news on that front. But when have comic book prices ever been based on reality?
The website Comic Book Scalping last week recommended Booster Gold, Volume 1, #1 as a target issue for speculators looking to buy low and sell high.
A year ago, collectible copies of the issue (very fine or better) could be had for only $3, but now ComicsPriceGuide.com currently values those same issues at about $30 or more. On eBay.com, you'll find high-grade slabbed copies going for over $200!
I can't think of any reason that Booster's first appearance is going up in price so quickly other than the persistent rumors that he might be coming to television. So hang on to your copies, Booster boosters. Speculators will be beating down our doors if DC ever gets that much-anticipated television series off the ground!

I Spy with My Brother Eye
After months of waiting, DC's time cop Booster Gold will finally reappear in Futures End. More specifically, I should say on Futures End.
The cover to Futures End #25, drawn by Ryan Sook, was unveiled earlier this week on HitFix.com, many pre-Flashpoint characters are depicted, including Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) and Booster Gold. Booster wears his very first costume — defined by a pentagram star — as it appeared in Booster Gold Volume 1, #1 back in 1985.
Does this mean we'll see Booster in action inside the book? I guess we'll find out when it hits stands on October 22.

I've Seen This Before
The way I see it, if you're going to steal a time machine, why not do it with some style?
Last week's poll question: Which time machine would you like to see Booster Gold "borrow" next? (65 votes)
This weeks' "news" that Booster Gold is will could one day appear on The Flash — there's already some discussion that one of the show's characters is Booster in disguise! — inspires me to ask a similar question to one I asked about Smallville back in 2011.
