I'm going to assume that those of you who voted "no preference" did so because you love Booster Gold in anything he wears.

Last week's poll question: Do you prefer Booster Gold's costume with or without the high collar? (69 votes)

For the record, Booster has appeared more often with a collar than without, an impressive feat considering that his first non-metallic collar-less costume appeared in 1997 (though that costume with its asymmetrical star placement was not the one most of you thought of when I asked you to vote).

The gap is still so large that it would take a collarless Booster Gold (New 52 costume or otherwise) about three years of continuous monthly appearances to make up the difference.

I'm not excited that DC seems determined to not publish Booster Gold comics, but at least so long as they do, the high collar will continue to reign supreme.

DC Rebirth #1 is out today . . . and according to Newsarama.com, Booster Gold is not in it.

On an unrelated note, long time Booster booster Shawn Baston wrote in to chastise me for not pointing out that the May Previews catalog solicited a new Booster Gold t-shirt:

This shirt from Junk Food Clothing reproduces the cover of Booster Gold #1. It should be available in late July for about $18.00. This is a Previews exclusive, so if you want it, be sure to tell your Local Comic Shop so that they can order one for you.

Thanks, Shawn. Now that I know you're paying attention, I'll try harder!

DC Comics fans are so loyal, they continue to cosplay as characters whose comics have been canceled. To prove it, here's a photo shared with us by Booster booster Bob from Motor City Comic Con 2016:

Those poor super heroes. That looks like quite the mob scene in front of the restrooms. It must take forever to get in and out of that spandex when nature calls.

Thanks for sharing, Bob!

In Wednesday's comments, Michael said he was not a fan of Booster Gold's classic high collar. That's the great thing about America: we're all entitled to our opinions, even when they're wrong.

But maybe you agree with Michael and think that I'm the nutcase. It's been a long time since I gave you a poll, so let's put this to a vote using the slightly improved Boosterrific poll system!

This week's poll question: Do you prefer Booster Gold's costume with or without the high collar? Please visit the Boosterrific Polls page to view results for this week's poll.

The advance solicitations for DC Comics shipping in August have been released. You can see them all at ComicBookResources.com. What you won't find is any indication that we'll be seeing Booster Gold. Oh, well. He has to show up eventually, right? (Does Warner Brothers know it's spending money on a character that the public has barely seen in years?)

On a related note, DC is rolling out a new logo, and I want to congratulate them on at least one change for the better.

It's not perfect (it looks like the overly stylized number font found on modern Detroit Lions jerseys), but it is a huge improvement on the pudding-cup inspired logo that the company has been using since rolling out the New 52. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

If DC is taking a step back as they step forward, maybe next time we see Booster Gold, he'll have his high collar back, too. (I can dream.)
