The year of Booster Gold continues! I've confirmed it with my own two eyes: Booster Gold is in today's Multiversity Guidebook #1. Buy a copy and make Skeets happy.

(And don't forget that Booster also appears in today's Showcase Presents Blue Beetle. You can never get too much Booster Gold!)

According to PreviewsWorld.com, the website of the exclusive distributor of DC Comics in America, these are the two covers we should expect on Convergence: Booster Gold when it is released in April.

The image on the left (Dan Jurgens/Danny Miki) is the standard cover and the image on the right is the 1:1 "Chip Kidd" variant using art by Jason Fabok from Justice League International Annual #1. (You can read more about Chip Kidd's utilization of "pre-existing" art for his covers at IGN.com.)

So if those are the covers to Booster Gold's first issue, what is this the cover to?

That's the cover that accompanied Entertainment Weekly's December announcement of DC's Convergence plans. We now know it's not the cover to Convergence #1. Is it a cover to another issue in that series? Is it a cover for Convergence: Booster Gold #2? Has it been replaced? Is it interior art?

I guess we'll find out when we get closer to April, but in the meantime I'm already missing Skeets.

I'm always particularly tickled when I see Booster Gold referenced outside the world of comic books. So you can imagine my amusement when I saw that Kissing Suzy Kolber, an Uproxx.com satellite site devoted to NFL football, had referenced Booster Gold (and Skeets!) in an article on superhero predictions for Super Bowl XLIX.

BOOSTER GOLD: I really gotta hand it to the Seahawks— their brand integration is top notch. I don't want to know how much the Mars company pays them for all that Skittles stuff. Gotta be boatloads of money. Plus, as a glory boy myself, I really, really dislike Pats fans. Skeets and I think the Hawks take it by 3.

Hard to doubt a pick made by a time-travelling quarterback. To read the predictions of other heroes, visit out kissingsuzykolber.com.

Eventually even a Superman has had enough of bank robbers throwing Kryptonite in his face. So in Superman/Batman #46, released on this date in 2008, he and Batman asked their friends to circle the globe and pick up every piece they could find.

Starfire tells Booster Gold NOT to keep it in his pants in Superman/Batman #45.
Art by Shade Davis and Matt Banning, words by Michael Green.

Booster found some in Molepolole, Botswana, then tried to keep it for himself. Asking a thief to turn over something as valuable as Kryptonite probably wasn't Batman's best plan ever.

For some reason, I thought there'd be more consensus than this. As I've said before, that's why I'm never going to be a casting agent.

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

We haven't seen a lot of Skeets since the New 52 reboot, but Convergence may change that. That got me wondering how important Skeets was to Booster's fans.
