Thirteen years ago today, Booster Gold stood in front of the nation and accused the United States government of failing to protect its citizens in the pages of Haven: The Broken City #5.

Booster's been doing this sort of grandstanding for years. He might not be a politician himself, but he loves the spotlight as much as any Senator. Stick a microphone in his face, and he'll talk 'til your ears fall off.

Over the years, we've seen him call press conferences to denounce Superman and praise Manhunters. By comparison, publicly accusing the U.S. Commander-in-Chief for ignoring an alien invasion is practically patriotic.

I assume that those of you who voted for Jim Lee would probably love to see a Booster Gold/Gen 13 crossover. Well, me too.

Last week's poll question: Which single creator would you most like to see work on a Booster Gold story as a combination writer/artist? (45 votes)

DC has indicated that the "New 52" is over after Convergence. But if only one Booster Gold will survive, which will it be?

This is the second week of Convergence, and thus you'll find the second wave of tie-in mini-series in your Local Comic Shop today.

If you're looking for Booster Gold, you'll find him in the back of Convergence: Justice League International #1, but not as part of the team itself. That may be disappointing to Booster Gold fans, but Red Tornado fans deserve to see their hero in action, too. (I assume that there are Red Tornado fans.)

You can read a preview of the issue at ComicBookResources.com.

Booster Gold is so awesome, he can wear his own steampunk cosplay:

I'd been reluctant to admit that the character seen tied to a fence in last week's Convergence Nightwing/Oracle #1 could possibly be the Justice Riders incarnation of Booster Gold. So I contacted the book's creators on Twitter for confirmation.

@GailSimone Is that #BoosterGold tied to the fence in #Convergence Nightwing/Oracle 1? (Say it ain't so!)

@boosterrific @JanDuursema_art What? Where?

If issue writer Gail Simone didn't see anything, I didn't either. (Thanks to Morgenstern for telling me the bad news.)
