Justa Lotta International

We started the week with Dan DiDio's version of Blue Beagle and Rooster Gold, but we all know that's not what the heroes on Earth-C Earth-26 Earth-C-Minus look like. They look more like this:

Blue Beagle and Rooster Gold (by me!)

Thanks to Scott Shaw! for co-creating Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew and the Justa Lotta Animals. That was a quality funny-book, sir.

What Are You Laughing At?

Whatever you look like, it's good to see you again, old friend.

Last week's poll question: What do you think of Skeets' New 52 look as seen in the tease for Booster Gold's Convergence tie-in? (69 votes)

What do you think of Skeets' New 52 look as seen in the tease for Booster Gold's <em>Convergence</em> tie-in?

A post by Grimmy in the Boosterrific Forum discussion of last week's Justice League 3000 inspired today's question.

New Release: Now with Less Booster Gold

If you visit your Local Comic Shop today, the cover of Smallville: Continuity #1 might catch your eye. Buyer beware! Booster Gold may appear prominently on Cat Staggs' cover, but he is found nowhere inside the book.

This is the second time in recent months that Booster will appear on a cover without participating in the story within. Booster was on the cover of Futures End #25, and he hasn't been seen in that story since May!

So if you're a Booster Gold completist, you're going to want a copy of Smallville: Continuity #1. Otherwise, consider saving your money for an extra copy of Booster's Convergence crossover next April.

Time to Let Someone Else Talk

I like it when bloggers I like talk about Booster Gold because that means I get to share links to their work.

Today I point you to Siskoid's Blog of Geekery, where Siskoid gives Skeets full credit for saving the life of America's Greatest President as seen in Booster Gold, Volume 1, #9.

One note about the encounter that Siskoid leaves out: Reagan rewarded Booster with the gift of a pair of kittens, Jack and Jill. Skeets never liked the cats, so they were gifted to Booster's secretary, Trixie Collins. And that's the last we ever heard about that. (Get to work on correcting that oversight, Geoff Johns!)

Blue and Gold Converging

Over the weekend, Russ Burlingame of ComicBook.com uncovered a clue to Convergence on Dan DiDio's Facebook page.

"Blue Beagle" and "Rooster Gold" animal heads aside — are we going to see a Blue and Gold crossover with Captain Carrot's Zoo Crew? — what's the rest of that picture from? Says detective Burlingame:

This also wouldn't be an old image that this reporter simply doesn't recognize. Ted Kord has only ever shared a single panel with this version of Booster Gold before -- in Futures End: Booster Gold. That issue saw Booster careening out of control through DC's Multiverse, before ending up "home" in the pre-Flashpoint DC Universe. The armored costume -- generally depicted with an A.R.G.U.S. emblem on it, although not here -- first appeared in the Justice League International Annual #1 in the New 52, meaning that Ted Kord was not a superhero and shared no history with Booster Gold when that look debuted.

So is this image teasing a Blue and Gold reunion in the mainstream DCnU? I guess we'll find out as we get closer to April 2015.
