This Booster Gold sketch by Cully Hamner comes to us by way of The Jack Lazer Art Gallery, where you'll find all kinds of sketch art collected by Brian Keohan, including a sweet Ted Kord Blue Beetle (if you're into that sort of thing).

While DC would never let Booster do it, I think Booster would gladly appear in a photo shoot for High Times so long as their check cleared. The only bad press is no press!

Last week's poll question: Would Booster Gold endorse legalizing marijuana? (48 votes)

I know you've seen the spoilers for Futures End #0 by now. What do you think?

Once upon a time, producing a weekly title was thought to be nearly impossible. Action Comics Weekly was considered a failure in 1988, not because of low sales, but because of the difficulty of production demands. Nearly two decades and one information super-highway later, DC would return to the concept with 52 with far more success. Some credit the talent assembled to work on the book, but we all know the real reason: Booster Gold.

Recognizing the cash cow of 52, DC has followed with Countdown, Trinity, DC Universe: Legends, and Brightest Day. After a break for the implementation of the "New 52" — which maybe needs to consider dropping the "new" considering its advancing age — and it's taken a few years for DC to return to this concept. But DC is back with a bang! In addition to Batman: Eternal — out today — DC is launching Futures End and a third weekly title to be named later.

If that sounds like a lot of work, that's because it is. And it's also probably bad news for Booster Gold fans. Back in February, Dan DiDio implied to Vaneta Rogers of Newsarama.com that these weekly books will count as 4 books each in DC's total line-up. DC may have abandoned its limit of 52 series, but that still means that these 3 weekly series will count as 12 titles. Therefore, so long as Batman is eternal, there will be less room for other characters of the DC pantheon to take their place in the limelight.

Certainly the spoilers for Futures End #0 released at BleedingCool.com yesterday seem to confirm that Booster won't be a star in that title. If Booster Gold is ever going to return to action in the New DC Universe, it's looking more and more like he's going to have to accept playing a supporting role to Batman.
