I Miss the Laughter But Not Extreme Justice

Aw, you're so sweet. But if we don't get Booster some new readers, how are we going to get to 60?

Last week's poll question: What is the best way to celebrate Booster Gold's 30th Anniversary? (50 votes)

What is the best way to celebrate Booster Gold's 30th Anniversary?

Convergence gave a us at least part of the origin for New 52 Booster Gold, and it makes it more clear than ever that he's got some significant deviations from the Booster we've grown to love.

New Release: Justice League 3001 #2

We learned last month on Twitter (from writer J.M. DeMatteis, no less) that Booster Gold won't be showing up in Justice League 3001 until next month's issue #3. But if you want to have any idea what's going on then, you really might want to consider picking up today's issue #2.

You can find a preview online at ComicBookResources.com.

I'll Be Too Busy Looking Good

Remember how fit and fat-free Bruce Lee looked in Enter the Dragon?

Booster Gold by BlackDanieL at deviantart.com

This Booster Gold pose by Chilean artist BlackDanieL (as seen on DeviantArt.com) has our hero looking like he's ready to enter Mr. Han's underground martial arts tournament. I like his odds.

Booster Gold Television Series Is a Zombie

Mike Cecchini spoke to Legends of Tomorrow executive producer Phil Klemmer at Comic Con, and somehow he got this quote:

"[Andrew Kriesberg's Booster Gold television series]'s not dead, but it is not..." [Klemmer] caught himself. "I don't know. But it's not dead."

To recap: SyFy optioned a Booster Gold pilot from writer Andrew Kriesberg and Berlanti Production back in 2011. There was a lot of back-and-forth about the status of the script, no pilot was ever ordered, then news about the status of the teased series dried up as first Arrow then Flash took off on the CW Network.

So what does this new information mean? Go check out the full article at DenOfGeek.us and decide for yourself.

This Day in History: Think 4th Dimensionally

On this date 29 years ago, fans finally learned where Booster Gold's Legion Flight Ring came from in Booster Gold, Volume 1, #9.

See, we knew Booster Gold stole a Legion Flight Ring from a museum in the 25th century before he traveled with it to the 20th century. The only problem was that the ring wouldn't be invented until the 30th century. So how did it get back in time for Booster to steal it in the first place? Even 12th-level intellect Brainiac 5 didn't know the answer to that.

Ironically, it was only after he traveled back in time with Chameleon Boy and Ultra Boy to investigate this paradox that Brainiac 5 realized that Booster's Flight Ring was in fact his own. Brainiac 5 didn't dare change history lest he damage his own timeline, so he chose to leave his 30th-century ring with 20th-century United States President Ronald Reagan so that it would eventually end up in the 25th-century museum.

Hey, if you don't love a good time-travel paradox, maybe Booster Gold isn't the right hero for you.

The Legion of Super-Bloggers reviewed this story (including its first half in Booster Gold #8) from the Legion's point of view earlier this week. Check it out at legionofsuperbloggers.blogspot.com.
