On this day in 1988, Superman celebrated 600 issues of Action Comics. (New to comic books? Don't let this week's Action Comics #39 confuse you. As hard as it may be to believe, DC Comics once promoted Action Comics' status as the longest running comic book by putting really big numbers on its cover. We call those "the good old days.")

Action Comics #600 by by Linda Medley and Art Adams

Of course, Booster Gold couldn't let Superman celebrate a milestone like that without sharing some of the spotlight, so he crashed Superman's pin-up. No one seems to mind much. Even Batman is smiling.

Want to express your love for Booster Gold, but all you've got is some construction paper and a pair of scissors? Well good luck topping this:

You can find more of paper artist Andy Sayers' work at say-andy.DeviantArt.com. (And you should. His Spider-Man is pretty amazing.)

I saw last week's question as a way to check how many pollsters were devoted to the solo adventures of Booster Gold (with sidekick) and how many preferred the JLI/Blue Beetle version of Booster Gold. Thanks for voting, even if you didn't like your options.

Last week's poll question: How important is the presence of Skeets to your enjoyment of a Booster Gold adventure? (38 votes)

With the Super Bowl coming this weekend, it's been impossible to avoid news of the accusation that the New England Patriots broke the rules to win games by letting air out of footballs. Earlier in the week, we learned that Booster will be pulling for the Seahawks this weekend. But what does Booster, a former football player punished for rules infractions, think about this "Deflategate" fiasco?

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.
