Each issue of Futures End includes a selection of panels teasing events in the next issue. Futures End #2 included an image of a character yet to appear in the story's first three issues. Who could this blond-haired, blue-eyed dreamboat be? Hmm?

MetalWoman suspects that this is Booster Gold. Sure looks like it to me. We'll find out for sure when Futures End #3 hits shelves this Wednesday.

For those of you who are not buying Futures End, MetalWoman has created a thread in the Boosterrific Forum to help keep track of Booster's appearances in the series for you. And if you want to read Futures End #0 but couldn't get a copy from your LCS on Free Comic Book Day, Comixology.com is offering a digital download of the book for free.

Not a lot of votes this week. Did that many of you not read Futures End #0? I can't say as I blame you.

Last week's poll question: What are your thoughts on FCBD FUTURES END #0? (31 votes)

I never know what to call Booster Gold fans, so I'm putting it to a popularity vote. Select your favorite in today's poll. If you don't see your preference, please leave it in the comments.

We all know the world's first space station was the original Justice League Satellite headquarters which began operation in 1970. This was followed by the Soviet Union's Salyut I in 1971 and eventually the United States' Skylab, which launched on this date in 1973.

Skylab was the first non-Justice League space station to successfully change crews, although the station was permanently abandoned by the end of 1974. For 5 years, the station floated unlocked about 270 miles above the Earth before finally falling into the Australian Outback in 1979. (For reference, the Justice League Satellite orbited at 23,300 miles, almost a tenth of the way to the moon!)

Of course, by the year 2442, space stations will be old news. The average citizen will be familiar with several alien species, have robot valets, and travel to school in flying school buses. To a man from the future, the launch of a liquid-fueled antique rocket might be a nostalgic tourist experience.

Saturday, 411mania.com released the penultimate list of its Top 50 DC Comics Superheroes countdown, and a look who comes in at 18:

"Bootser Gold is probably one of the most unique heroes in comic books, regardless of the company."

Who is this Bootser Gold poser? An evil twin? A long-lost cousin? Some wannabe Bosoter Gold? What's your real game, Buster?

If you're like me and wonder where the one-and-only Booster Gold will fall on the list, you can find it at 411mania.com.

Eyz dropped by late last week to share with us a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle drawing he didn't do. I'm sure you'll agree he did the right thing.

Artist Kaitlyn Van Dorn, aka "the unbrilliant," titles her piece "blue and gold hipsters." Van Dorn is clearly a huge Ted Kord fan, and this is just one of a bunch of Blue Beetle- and Justice League International-inspired pieces on her Tumblr and DeviantArt.com sites. Go take a look, I mean, if you want.
