Buried in the Substacks

I'm on record as no fan of social media, but without reddit, I never would have discovered that Superman scribe Joshua Williamson has a substack.com account, "Joshua Williamson's Super Scary Newsletter," where on "Superman Day" April 18 he posted the following:

I've been asked "is this Legion is from the future of the DCU or from the Absolute Universe?" And that will be answered in this storyline. You'll see. As Booster said in the Summer of Superman Special "The future is lost." Could Booster be talking about TWO futures? Or more? Or just one? That will be revealed soon. There is a pretty big clue as to what is going on hidden within the All In Special, if you think about it.

Dan Mora is drawing these issues and it is looks kick-ass. So beautiful. He’s been killing it on the book since #19 and now with this arc he's doing bonkers work. Dan's cover for #29 is going to break some hearts.

You're going to hear a lot about Superman #28 in the coming months. That issue picks up the All In mystery with Booster Gold's disappearance, Darkseid's Legion and its connections to the Absolute Universe. It's going to be a story that tests Superman's optimism for the future in new ways. Taking him on a hard journey with some unexpected allies.

The arc starting in #28 is a prelude to a massive story starting for Superman in the fall. You don't want to miss it as it's going to be a key piece of the DC's plans for the year. And if you think this story is wild...wait until you see what happens in #31!

I've thought about All In Special waaay too much, and I wish I had a clue about what he thinks I should think is a clue. That the logo has changed on the 30th-century Legion Flight Ring? That the Justice League forgets Booster exists? That Skeets has gone missing? That in one story Booster Gold is wearing his 1980s collar and in the other story he isn't? A little less ambiguity would be helpful, please; I can only think so much.

You'll note that this doesn't actually say that Booster Gold will be in Superman #28, but it almost does. So I think Booster boosters should be prepared to pick up Superman #28 when it comes out on July 23.

I thought you weren't a fan Joshua Williamson.

You are correct, Tiffany, I'm not a fan of Williamson's work. I wouldn't have naturally gone wandering around his substack. I saw a screenshot on Reddit and went there to copy/paste text for this post. (I prefer to steal content directly from the source when possible.)

My question was more why buy what you don't like? I get that you're a Booster fan and all. But you don't like Joshua Williamson writing of Booster. Are you scared DC will never publish Booster again if this random Superman issues doesn't sell well? First off all that kinda logic just doesn't track. Corporations can make decision they want. They don't always follow logic. And even if did, they can't reach into your mind and go "he like Booster but Williamson" they're just going to assume you like Williamson's Booster. And second, the current Superman book has sold well and is generally loved. Plus (this isn't meant to disrespect your opinion,) you seem to minority of Booster fans. Most I've seen actually like what Williamson is doing. So it's probably safe to say it won't have problem selling. And before you say that you need for your website, no you don't, any big revelations about Booster will posted online. For Booster is really popular character. So all that said I don't get why you want to buy and encouraging others to.

It is the policy of Boosterrific.com to promote any Booster Gold appearance, whether I'm personally excited about it or not. Yes, I want to encourage DC Comics to publish more Booster Gold stories, but my primary goal in these sorts of blog posts is to keep people informed of where they should expect to see Booster next. (Personally, I've been collecting Booster Gold comics for a long time; I'm not going to skip one now just because I don't care for its writer.)

Onto the cruel and overly long wait. LOL! Then again, waiting since LAST YEAR was worse, so I suppose I'll survive.

There have been 3012 blog entries since January 2010.
