Ty One On
Booster booster Herbert Fung has always been very generous in sharing the Booster Gold commissions he collects from the annual Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. In past years, he's collected sketches from Adam Hughes and David Finch. What did Herbert get this year?
It's a commission by Booster Gold Volume 1 inker Ty Templeton! Man, I love that high collar.
Thanks again, Herbert!

Booster Gold Will Get Your Kitty
Illustrator Dwayne Biddix put together this sample Business card for Booster Gold and uploaded it to DeviantArt.com:
Note that url: http://www.dccomics.com/characters/booster-gold. That leads to DC's official online description of Booster Gold.
As a time-traveler, Booster Gold understands how delicate our timeline is, and he often finds himself protecting the timestream. But in the ultimate irony for a fame-seeker, no one can ever know it's him. After all, if people find out what he's doing, it could change history and threaten the timestream. It's a responsibility that Booster Gold has come to take seriously, suggesting that there may be more driving this spotlight-loving hero than a simple quest for adoration. Even if he does spend as much time signing autographs as he does saving lives.
I don't think that's really accurate. To say that there "may" be more to Booster than his "quest for adoration" sells even the Nu52 incarnation of the character short. But maybe that's why I think it's such a good idea to make my own Booster Gold introduction video.

Since We're Talking About Booster Gold Videos
While I'm considering creating a "This Is Your Life" video for Booster Gold, it's interesting to take a look at some comparables. Youtube's Comic Drake is a big Booster Gold fan, and he's made some videos highlighting Booster's comic book career. In this one, he explains what he personally likes about Booster Gold.
I think that's great, but it's not quite what I have in mind. I'm thinking shorter (and less emphasis on Booster's "scumbag" qualities). In 60 seconds, can we tell a typical superhero movie watcher who has never opened a comic (and will never open a comic) why they need to meet Booster Gold? I think we can.

Straight From the Horse's Mouth
In the comments to last week's rant, Boosts-Marvelous suggested that to counteract the inaccurate descriptions of Booster Gold that have cropped up across the Internet as of late, Booster's fans should make a short video describing the character's highlights.
I think that's a great idea. If Booster Gold is going to get a movie, there are a whole lot of people who have never heard of him who will need to be told how awesome he is. But to make this video a reality, I need your help.
Tell me, if you had 60 seconds to describe what you think is key to understanding the character of Booster Gold, what would you say? Thief with a heart of gold? Time traveler seeking redemption for past mistakes? Glory hound? Athlete? Comedian? Teammate? Entrepreneur? Friend?
If you have an opinion, leave a comment in this thread. Or join us for a discussion in the Boosterrific Forum. Or email me directly at webmaster at Boosterrific.com.
Help me make a video we can all be proud of.

Confirmed: No Gold on Legends of Tomorrow
Over the weekend, a reliable source confirmed 2 things for me:
1) Booster Gold will NOT be appearing in the season finale of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
2) Booster Gold will NOT be appearing in ANY DC television property in the foreseeable future.
Why not? Because Booster Gold is currently reserved for development as a movie property.
Good things? Bad things? You decide.
