Booster Gold Takes the Seahawks
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.

This Day in History: It Takes a Thief
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.

Searching for Skeets
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.

Yes, We Have No Bwah-Ha-Has
I had hoped that we might see Booster Gold (or at least a Booster Gold) in Multiversity Guidebook #1 today. However, the release of Multiversity Guidebook was delayed until next week, so there is no Booster Gold comic on the racks this week.
But don't despair. Next week we'll get Showcase Presents: Blue Beetle, which reprints Booster's few 1980s appearances in that title (specifically issues #20 and #22). So we still have plenty to look forward to, Booster boosters, even before Justice League 3000 comes out in 2 weeks.
The year of Booster Gold continues!

Better Looking Redesign Than a New 52 Costume
I'm no fan of the New 52 Booster Gold costume. Too many pointless gold lines and ridiculous stylings. If you insist on adding lines to a costume, at least attempt to make them make sense. Maybe a little something like this:
Artist Darren Calvert describes this piece as "Blue Beetle and Booster Gold drawn while watching TV last night." It's a great sketch. Must have been a pretty boring television show.
