The full suite of DC's March 2026 solicitations should be released later today, but yesterday DC.com gave a first look at the "second phase of DC ALL IN" including releasing this Bruno Redondo Open To Order variant cover for Justice League Unlimited #17:

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #17
Written by MARK WAID, Art by CLAYTON HENRY, Variant cover by BRUNO REDONDO
$3.99 US | 32 pages | Variant $4.99 US (card stock)
ON SALE 3/25/26
In the aftermath of DC K.O., the Justice League has to work even harder to protect mankind—and that means it’s time for new blood to face new challenges! Who will join Wonder Woman and Batman to lead the new JLU?

In addition to that, AIPComics.com writes that Booster Gold will also be playing some part in the coming "Reign of the Superboys" storyline beginning March 11 in Action Comics #1096 (though it's not clear if Booster will be in that issue).

Maybe more will be revealed with the full set of solicitations.

UPDATE: And yes, it was. Booster Gold is on the Skylar Patridge Corner Box variant cover of Action Comics #1096. And that wrestling comic we first learned about back in November is DC X AEW #1, releasing on February 2, 2026. (Why wasn't it in last month's solicitations?) All of which means there will be a whole bunch of Booster in comic shops next year.

You can see the full slate of solicitations and covers at AIPTComics.com.

Over the weekend, my good friend Mike Foster was not particularly sympathetic to my displeasure at how DC has been treating Booster Gold. He reminded me that DC turned his favorite character, Hal Jordan, into a mass murdering super villain before killing him off for several years in the 1990s.

Which is to say that even if you're just talking about comic book storylines, whenever you think you have it pretty bad, it's worth remembering that there's probably somebody else who has it worse.

Speaking of traumatic events, tomorrow we should expect to find Darkseid wearing Booster Gold's skin in brief "watchtower interludes" during rounds four and five of the DC King Omega tournament in Titans #30 (Cyborg vs. Swamp Thing) and DC K.O. Harley Quinn vs. Zatanna #1, respectively.

So read those if you want to. Meanwhile, I'll count my blessings that Warner Brothers' 2011 dud Green Lantern movie wasn't about Booster Gold.

I should probably warn you up front: my favorite page from Justice League Quarterly #9 is the last page of the story, and therefore contains spoilers.

Sure, I could have chosen a different page. Booster Gold is in two of the stories in that anthology, though I definitely prefer the second, "Tomorrow Belongs to Geralyn," especially in light of how Booster's career will change in the wake of 52 over a decade later.

It begins with a street urchin picking Booster's pocket in a diner, the discovery that the urchin is key to Booster's personal past, and ends with, well, this page. It's heartwarming, really.

Not that we should be surprised by that. It's written by Elliot S! Maggin, one of DC's premier Bronze Age scribes.

So if you don't want to be spoiled by the "twist" ending of a 12-page short story from 1992, turn away!

...

You have been warned.

See? So spoilery. (It's even better with context. Trust me.)

Judging by the decline in emails and comments received since September, it seemed to me that Boosterrific.com must be receiving fewer visitors lately. But the analytics tell a different story: visits are actually up. I wonder if the current DC K.O. event isn't responsible for both driving new readers to learn a little more about Booster Gold while driving existing Booster Gold fans to duck and cover until Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson's string of degradations to our hero finally blows over.

Whomever your eyeballs belong to, thanks for reading.

Now, who wants to play "Where will we see Booster Gold next"?

The way Booster's skinsuit appeared at the end of last week's DC K.O. Superman vs Captain Atom #1 has me expecting Booster to show up and throw a different character out of a window at the end of each round of the current "DC K.O. All Fight Month." This week sees Round Two (versus Hawkman) in Aquaman #12 and Round Three in Wonder Woman vs. Lobo #1.

If anyone spots Booster Gold (or a reasonable facsimile) there or elsewhere, please let me know.

UPDATE: Yep. "Booster" is in a couple of pages of both. Which means he'll have 2 pages in all of the superhero death matches. And this really might be the breaking point at which I will stop buying all comics with Booster Gold in then. As my Local Comic Shop Guy-turned-therapist said to me today, "We've really got to get you out of this abusive relationship with DC." When your pusher says you've had enough, maybe it's time to listen.

Booster booster J writes to let me know about what would seem to be a small correction to a nearly 20-year-old comic book, 2006's 52 #7:

In the annotation for Page 17, panel 2, you say that an actor introduces himself to Lois as "Bob Castell", even though in the previous issue his name was Bill. I'm current reading the digital version of 52 Volume 1 (the one that collects issues #1-26). I just want to point out that, at least in the digital version, they corrected this error and he introduces himself as "Bill Castell".

Firstly, thanks for reading the annotations, J. I wrote them in 2007, and I apologize in advance that they're probably all awful and chock full of typos I'm sure you'll be telling me about later.

Secondly, issues of 52 were originally released weekly, which by all accounts was a real challenge for all involved, so it's no great surprise that a few errors made it through to the final product. I'm glad DC was able to make the corrections in the (many) subsequent collected volumes.

Here's the panel as it was originally published in 52 Week Seven:

And here it is as it appears in the corrected reprints:

The first name of a minor character may seem like small potatoes, but in context, it's a relevant clue to the mystery of the Last Days of Booster Gold, one of several main plots unfolding throughout the series.

Readers were introduced to Mr. Castell in 52 Week Six, where we discover that despite a recent return to the spotlight, Booster Gold has been burnishing his image as a superhero by paying an actor to portray a supervillain and allowing Booster to beat him in a public setting. Intentionally evocative of Maxwell Lord's scheme to force the Justice League to accept Booster Gold into its ranks (in 1987's immortal Justice League #4), this is particularly despicable behavior, even for Booster Gold.

And to make matters worse, Booster treats the actor like a real jerk, refusing to even get his name right.

As you can now see, in the original publication, the reader has (unintentional) cause to be suspicious of the actor's motivations and integrity when Castell changes his first name between issues and accuses Booster of writing a bad check. However, in the reprint, when the reader is more confident that the actor knows what he's talking about, the accusation against Booster is more credible and extra damning.

Why would Booster do such a thing? And why would he go out of his way to be such a jackass to his partner in crime, essentially encouraging him to be disloyal? At the risk of spoiling a great comic book mystery, all I'll say is that this behavior was no mistake, and may, in fact, rank among the most clever things Booster Gold has ever done.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, be like J. Go track down a reprint collection of 52 and read one of the greatest stories DC has ever published. You can thank me (and J) later.
