Remember that time that Batman decked Guy Gardner in Justice League #5? So does artist Meredith McClaren.

I love the surprised reaction from Blue and Gold in the background. Low five!

You can see more work by McClaren (aka Iniquitous Fish) on Tumblr.com.

The JLI Bwah-Ha-Ha Podcast has finally gotten around to discussing the single best Justice League issue ever.

This was not the first Justice League issue I ever bought, but I sure wish it had been. I still rank this one as my favorite Booster Gold story ever.

You can find the JLI podcast at the Fire And Water Podcast Network.

And if that doesn't slate your thirst for people talking about Booster Gold — as if that was possible — don't forget about the Silver and Gold Podcast at Splitting Atoms Blog. Their latest podcast discusses Booster's origin as seen in Booster Gold #6.

When everyone is talking about Booster Gold, we all win!

This weekend, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and Captain Marvel Shazam got together in Charlotte, North Carolina. Warlord Worlds has the proof from Heroes Convention 2016 on Twitter.com:

Those three heroes sure look like they're having a good time, don't they? I guess that's to be expected when you're attending a convention in your honor.

Thanks for the snapshot, Warlord Worlds.

Update 2016-06-23: On Twitter.com, Kord Industries (@KordIndustries1) tells us that the Beetle cosplayer in the picture is Rusty Winns (@RustyWinns). Thanks!

Update 2016-06-30: I should have mentioned before now that the Booster Gold cosplayer in the picture is Jay Tallsquall. Sorry for that oversight, Jay.

A month into Rebirth, most Booster Gold fans see it as a positive (even though there has been no hint of a Booster Gold appearance coming any time soon).

Last week's poll question: How satisfied are you with Rebirth so far? (58 votes)

I was feeling that way, too, until I read this week's Superman #1. No spoilers, but it's got a Geoff Johns' Superboy Prime vibe plus an "everything you think you know is a lie" moment that I really didn't care for. If this is the flagship title of the new Rebirth event, it feels like more of the same old DCnU to me.

I hate to judge a title (much less a whole universe) on one issue, so here's hoping my first impression was wrong.

(And whatever I think about the other Rebirth books, I've still got Dan Jurgens writing Action. Jurgens' Superman is still my Superman, no matter what else is happening in the wider DCnU.)

Justice League America #78 was released on this date 23 years ago. I like to remember it as the time that Jay Garrick (the original Flash) lied to Booster Gold.

Despite what you see in the panel above, when Garrick led the post-"Death of Superman" Justice League into action, Booster was left at home.

Ah, the good old days. In hindsight, Booster should have been happy to appear on panel at all. #FreeBoosterGold
