Remember that time Superman killed Booster Gold?

Ask yourself: is Superman mad that he murdered Booster or that Booster called him a m-monsterrr?

Sheesh, 1991 was a rough year for Superman. First Armageddon 2001 suggests he's going to be a murdering tyrant in the future, then Adventures of Superman #479 makes him a murdering tyrant in the present.

Don't worry too much about Booster's death there. He doesn't really die. Or, more accurately, that's not really Booster Gold. It's not even really Superman. Red Kryptonite does some strange things to Kryptonians.

Today's the day to head to your Local Comic Shop to pick up Action Comics #1076 Cover E "McFarlane Toys Card Stock Variant"! You know, the one with a Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figure on it.

It was the Blot who first pointed out this cover to us. No coincidence that it was also the Blot who ordered a whole case of Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figures.

If there is one flaw with those Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figures, it's that it doesn't come with Skeets. Well, Blot has found a solution for that, too.

There’s a guy on Etsy making awesome 3D printed accessories for McFarlane Toys' Super Powers toy line. He just made a Skeets that attaches to the back of Booster's neck (sort of how capes go on). He sells a painted and unpainted version. Got mine yesterday and it's fantastic! Pics of mine below.

The seller is NerdCandyStore, and you can visit their store on Etsy.com.

Thanks for the find, Blot.

DC released their February 2025 solicitations late last week, and while there's still no sign of Booster Gold returning to the DCU, I'm not mad. DC is kindly allowing me to save up my money to buy this:

BOOSTER GOLD: THE COMPLETE 2007 SERIES BOOK TWO
Written by DAN JURGENS and KEITH GIFFEN
Art by DAN JURGENS, MIKE NORTON, and more
Cover by DAN JURGENS and NORM RAPMUND
$29.99, 440 Pages, Softcover, ISBN: 978-1-79950-103-9, On Sale April 8

Though Booster yearns for the simple life, destiny has thrust the responsibility of time itself in his hands. As the time stream goes awry and the past unravels, he must put history back in its place before existence vanishes entirely! Collects Booster Gold #15-31 and The Brave and the Bold #23.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, Volume One was released in April 2024. I wonder if that means we should expect the third (and likely final) volume in April 2026?

You can find this and the rest of DC's solicitations at AIPTComics.com.

Justice League America #51 is a nice reminder that no matter how bad things get, you can always count on your friends.

No, I didn't choose this page just because of "Your Boosteraciousness," but I could have.

You may recall that at the start of the year, I was gifted an unexpected Booster Gold sketch by Dan Jurgens.

Well, surprise, surprise. This past weekend, it happened again. My friend James has given me a sketch he commissioned for me from Booster Gold's original inker, Mike DeCarlo!

Isn't that swell?

This is the second time that James has gifted me a surprise commission. (See: Jeff Butler in 2022.) It sure is Boosterrific to have such a generous friend. Thanks, buddy.
