This Day in History: Is Batman Still Dead?
Oh, 2010. How good we had it at the time. Booster Gold appeared regularly in his own title, Justice League: Generation Lost, and Time Masters: Vanishing Point, the first issue of which was released 4 years ago today.
Four years later, we still don't know who Rip Hunter's mother is. (Or for that matter who the Black Beetle was.) They say time heals all wounds, but that healing leaves some notable scars.

The Fiddle Didn't Exist in Ancient Rome
The Great Fire of Rome was ignited on this date, 1,950 years ago. Some accounts blame Emperor Nero for starting the fire, while others say he just took advantage of the aftermath to remake Rome to his liking.
History teaches that Nero was among the worst Roman emperors, both crazy and bloodthirsty. Some modern scholars debate the historical portrait, pointing to his popularity among the plebeians and his contribution to the arts. The only way to learn the truth would be to travel back in time. This sounds like a job for Superman!

Skeets or Blue Beetle?
More than half of you would buy extra issues if you thought it would make a difference to DC. You guys are real fans!
Last week's poll question: Would you be willing to buy 2 copies per issue if that would convince DC to produce a new Booster Gold series? (60 votes)
Elvis or The Beatles? Coke or Pepsi? PC or Mac? Fight!

You're Reading Smallville, Right?
Booster Gold may be nowhere to be found in the New DC Universe, but he's practically the center of attention in the Smallville Universe. It's almost like the 90s over there.
(Or maybe it's just that costume. Could it look more Extreme Justice-y?)
You can find the latest chapter of Smallville Chaos at Comixology.com now for 99¢, or you can wait until September when it will arrive at your Local Comic Shop.

Booster Gold Is a Member of His Own Fan Club
I don't see a lot of Booster Gold fan art that includes Michelle Carter, much less Rani.
Being a Time Master must be hard work! Booster looks like he's coming down with a cold (not to mention that he has two left feet!).
Today's picture comes to us by way of Monster3x, who seems to be really attached to Rani. You can see more Rani in her gallery at DeviantArt.com.
