Buy Booster Gold

Friday, January 24, 2025

You Go, Girls!

I'm typing this at 12:20 AM, and it's possible, likely even, that by the time you read this, DC will have released their full list of solicitations for April. Judging by the news DC has been peddling for the past week, I don't expect to see Booster Gold anywhere in there.

However, DCComics.com has already announced that there is a new Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over mini-series coming from the pen of Joanne Starer, who also wrote 2023's Fire and Ice: Welcome to Smallville. I am on record as being somewhat lukewarm on that series, but although DC has refused to give any sales numbers for any of its titles since 2020, I think we can say that series must have sold a very healthy amount of comics if DC is already making six more.

Compare that to the Blue and Gold mini-series of 2021 which did so well that not only was there no follow-up, DC has now excommunicated Booster Gold from the DC Universe and made sure Ted Kord has forgotten his best friend ever existed. Ouch.

UPDATE: As expected, solicitations are up at AIPTcomic.com, and no sign of Booster Gold. Keep your eyes on DC All In/Absolute Universe 2025 FCBD Special Edition #1 coming May 3, because that story at least provides the opportunity for a Booster mention before DC rolls into its "Summer of Superman."
