Last week, the aptly named Pigeon sent me a link to a TikTok video (specifically tiktok.com/@stackthedeck/video/7563358218739535134) in reference to this screencap:

That, TikToker stackthedeck claims, is a leaked page from the upcoming Justice League / AEW crossover comics coming in 2026. As you can see, the narrative box in that final panel seems to belong to Booster Gold, who explicitly mentions Skeets. ("Let the hunt begin, folks! My buddy Skeets makes a hell of a monitor...")

Could it be that Booster and Skeets will finally be reunited ringside following DC K.O.? We can only hope.

No release date for the crossover comics has yet been announced, but it looks like sooner than later. For more information, you can read the original October 1 announcement they were coming on Variety.com.

Thanks, Pidgeon.

Just a reminder: Halloween doesn't have to be scary. It can also be adorable.

When I went looking at the lists of new comics coming out this week, I was surprised to see so few books from DC. I didn't realize it was the 5th week of the month. DC has lately been releasing anthology books during "skip" weeks, but this year's Halloween special with a punny name, DC's Zatannic Panic, was released at the start of the month instead. I guess they were being helpful by ensuring we wouldn't get chocolate fingerprints all over our near mint comics. How thoughtful of them.

That's not to say that no Booster Gold comics were released this week. Yesterday saw the release of (count 'em!) three trades reprinting previous Booster Gold stories. In alphabetical order, they are

1. Batman: The Brave and the Bold Across the Universe
Collects the complete 2024 "Time Jerks" Booster Gold/Jurassic League story by Mark Russell told across three issues beginning in Batman: The Brave and the Bold #13.

2. Jonah Hex All-Star Western Omnibus
Reprints the entire third volume of All-Star Western, which is one of the few books unimpacted directly by the New 52 reboot in 2011. Of interest to Booster Gold fans are the issues spanning All-Star Western #19 through #21, which reintroduced Booster Gold to the DCnU eight months after he appeared to be erased from continuity in Justice League International Annual #1. (If you recall, issue #19 was part of DC's "WTF" month event and the Internet was rife with supposition that Booster Gold was the character hidden on its surprise fold-out cover. I have no idea if that cover is reprinted as a fold out in this omnibus, and I'm not paying $125 to find out.)

3. Justice League by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV Omnibus Volume 2
Among other things, this reprints the complete 2020 Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen mini-series, which sees a mute Booster Gold temporarily turned into an evil zombie. Just in time for Halloween.

Trick or treat? You decide, Booster boosters.

Booster booster Steven writes

"Just listened to a podcast interview with Dan Jurgens about Booster Gold. It is the Justice League Revisited podcast with Susan Eisenberg & James Enstall. It is worth a listen."

Steven told me about that last week, and a quick Googling indicates he was talking about the episode released October 21, which they describe thusly:

Susan Eisenberg and James of Geek To Me Radio chat with the creator of Booster Gold, Dan Jurgens, to find out how he liked the Justice League Unlimited's take on his creation as we once again cover "The Greatest Story Never Told"... [which] originally aired on September 1, 2004.

You can find the podcast on several popular sites, including creators.spotify.com.

Despite being a big fan of both Jurgens and "The Greatest Story Never Told," I have to admit that I have not yet listened myself. But don't let my personal inability to find time to listen to an hour of talk radio stop you from tuning in.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Steven.

I'm trying something a little new today. I'm expecting DC's January 2026 solicitations to be released today, so I'm going to go ahead and post this as a placeholder that I'll replace with any news we get about upcoming Booster Gold projects. So stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE: Yep, the solicitations for January came out on schedule, but no sign of Booster Gold anywhere. Given the current state of things, maybe that's for the best.

You can see for yourself at AIPTComics.com.
