B is for Boosterrific
Speaking of Blot, he also recently shared with me the latest addition to his collection of Booster Gold commissions:
Matt Kaufenberg has been doing these amazing super hero drawings in the style of the retro ABC Books. You can see a lot of examples on his Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/mattkaufenberg] and online store. He was doing them for fun and selling them, but then opened a few commission spots so you could pick your own super hero. So you know I had to get a Booster! Hope your readers enjoy.
I do enjoy! I think it's remarkable how Booster's original 1980s costume design by Dan Jurgens works so well in such a wide variety of art styles.
Thanks, Blot.

Tiny Statues to Greatness
The Blot has alerted us that in anticipation of the imminent release of the DC HeroClix: Masters of Time set in July, the WizKids website now has an image of the set's new Booster Gold figure!
Hmm, those are some thick boots. But at least it's not the New 52 costume.
Interestingly, other pictured figures in this set include Animal Man, who has a costume styled similarly to Booster's, and Mister Mind, who has an, um, complicated relationship with Skeets. (See: 52 Week 51.)
Thanks, Blot!

My Favorite Pages: Justice League America 31
Justice League America #31 introduces Adam Hughes as the series' new penciller, and like any human being with functioning eyes, I think his work is amazing. Which is why I can't choose just one favorite page. Here are two!
Page 3:
And page 15:
I'd say the JLI has rarely looked better.

New Release: Brave and the Bold 13
We got a much smaller copy of this image of Booster Gold shaking hands with Supersaur in last week's DC house ad, but artist Mikel Janin gave us a better look at his work on x.com.
Unfortunately, that's not one of the covers for this week's Batman: Brave and the Bold #13 , but it is just one of 12 delightful pages featuring Booster Gold (and dinosaurs!) inside the issue.
Buy Batman: Brave and the Bold #13 and make Skeets happy.

What We Learned at Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024
Get ready to loosen those purse strings this summer!
Booster Gold was one of several DC action figures revealed at the McFarlane Toys presentation at Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024, as we can see in the above image from In Pursuit of Toys on Instagram. You can watch the whole presentation on YouTube.com.
I sure do like that high collar.
Thanks to Rob Snow and Mike Foster for keeping us informed.
