Heidi recently sent me an email drawing my attention to this:

www.amazon.com/Trends-International-Comics-Poster-22-375/dp/B071H795T5/

Although the listing does not make it clear, this poster is based on the cover of Justice League of America Volume 2, #7 (2007). As you can see, it's got Booster Gold on it alongside other male members of the Justice League international. (Poor Fire and Ice!)

Justice League of America #7 is already listed here in the Boosterrific.com Database. Given that this poster is "MADE IN THE USA and OFFICIALLY LICENSED" (and makes no attempt to connect it to the original source), I should probably also put this in the Boosterrific.com "Other Media" section. I already list reprint volumes, and this is sort of the same thing, isn't it?

Thanks to Heidi for making sure I was aware of this.

I had decided that I was going to buy Multiversus: Collision Detected #1 after I read the preview at AIPTComics.com over the weekend and saw Captain Carrot on the first page. Still, I was surprised when I walked into my Local Comic Shop on Wednesday and they had already pulled the issue for me.

Was it possible that they, too, had seen the Zoo Crew's fearless leader and recognized that he was high on the list of obscure DC characters I religiously follow? Actually, no. What they saw that told them I was an easy Multiversus mark was not on page 1 but page 17:

That is not really a Booster Gold appearance, but it does merit a mention here on the Boosterrific Blog (and a worthy addition to my personal comic collection).

Big thanks to my Local Comic Shop for keeping an eye out for my peculiar tastes. That's good Capitalism!

Cover A by Tony S. Daniel and Marcelo Maiolo

Rob Snow assures me that Booster Gold appears on exactly one panel inside this issue, so buy Wonder Woman #13 and make Skeets happy.

Per TVTropes.org, Internet Rule 63 is defined: "For every given male character, there is a female version of that character, and vice versa."

Example from instagram.com/marlon_vallieri/:

While the original pinup artist, Marlon Vallieri, identifies this piece as "Booster Gold", I like to think of it as a drawing of Booster's fraternal twin sister, Michelle, also known as the superhero Goldstar.

Although, come to think of it, I suppose it's possible that all the fan art pinups that at first glance look to be Booster Gold might really be gender-swapped Goldstars. It's all a matter of perspective, innit?

On the other hand, Skeets, being a genderless robot, is always just Skeets, and that's the way we like it!

Booster Gold appears in bit parts in about a half dozen comics released in January 1990, so let's skip ahead to his next significant role, Justice League America #37. How significant? Well...

Oh, boy. Looks like tempers are flaring. (That may be because Fire is sizzling! Way to liven up a scene, Adam Hughes.) At the end of the day, they're all friends. I'm sure cooler heads will prevail, and it'll all blow over, right?

So long, Justice League!
