New Releases: Superman 31, New History 4
If you're out to collect every Booster Gold comic book, DC is out to squeeze every possible penny out of you.
Case in point: this week's Superman #31. Excuse me. I mean the "Superman #31 Cover E Jorge Fornes Card Stock Variant (DC K.O.)." The standard cover is $4.99, but this variant's cover price is $5.99.
Booster Gold in a poncho? Is this a reference to A Fistful of Dollars or Back to the Future III? ("What idiot dressed you in that outfit?") We can at least be sure that Booster is in the book, at least as a mute background character, thanks to the preview at AIPTComics.com, but do we really think anything like this happens between the covers?
Second case in point: New History of the DC Universe #4. Excuse me. I mean the "New History of the DC Universe #4 (of 4) Cover E Ryan Sook Foil Variant." The standard cover is $5.99, but this variant's cover price is $9.99.
The preview for that issue does not show Booster Gold, so buyer beware.
To be clear: Although, yes, I will buy comics just because Booster Gold is in them and Booster Gold is on them, I do not make a habit of buying variants, especially ones with higher cover prices, and I cannot endorse such behavior in others. ("A man's got to know his limitations.") But if you've got enough money to cover your other needs and spending that money will not harm you, I trust you to judge for yourself whether to buy some commercially produced Booster Gold artwork. ("Go ahead, make your day.")
