How Did I Get Here?
As a general rule, I'm not in favor of any gimmick that raises the cost of a comic. No lenticular cover will induce me to buy any Futures End comic in September or any other month. However, if it's a gimmick cover involving Booster Gold, I'll take two, please.
Last week's poll question: Will you pay more for the 3D cover of BOOSTER GOLD FUTURES END in September? (55 votes)
Tuesday's post made me nostalgic for the comics of my youth. Do you remember what your first comic was? Do you know how you got from there to Booster Gold?

Together Again for the First Time
Want to own a piece of the first battle between Booster Gold and the evil Supernova? Now you can!
This original art by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund from Booster Gold, Volume 2, #3 is for sale on ComicArtFans.com. The asking price is $165.00, but that's a small price to pay for a piece of history!
UPDATE 2014-04-30: This seems as good a post as any to note that Newsarama.com confirms that Jurgens will be writing the upcoming Booster Gold:Futures End one-shot. No word yet on the artists.

Every Issue Is Special to Somebody
I invite you to read Brad's recap of Booster Gold's career, both in comics and on television, at NeedToConsume.com.
His love letter to the World's Greatest Hero has its inaccuracies, but you have to admire his passion, especially when he admits that his first super hero comic was Booster Gold, Volume 2, #27. You never forget your first time!

Today I Continue Shamelessly Reposting Tweets
I started last week stealing images from Twitter.com, and it turned out to be a pretty good week. Therefore, I'm going to conclude the week with more of the same.
This sketch is by Katie Cook, and was tweeted last week by Kristy (@codemonkey37). You can think of this post as superstition, as me being lazy, or as a continued celebration of Kristy's very good taste. Your choice.

Booster Gold Is Over Powered
Booster Gold may not be in Warner Brothers Interactive's Infinite Crisis MOBA video game, but it appears that his power suit is.
The details above come from Dawnbase.com, but the discussion seems to be in the game's official forum. Some think it's too powerful, others, not so much. At least one gamer named Lyri is standing up for our favorite golden gladiator:
Booster Gold is super strong.
Perfect on most heroes with a dive like AWW, Shazam, Aquaman etc, amazing synergy with heroes like Ivy Prime, WonderWoman and fills an amazing role as AD defence.
I honestly feel this item is just too good and should be mostly gotten on anybody.
"Mostly gotten on anybody"? I couldn't disagree more. Booster Gold should be gotten on everybody!
To decipher some of the above acronyms, "MOBA" stands for "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena," "AD" stands for "Attack Damage" and "AWW" stands for "Atomic Wonder Woman." If you don't know what an "Atomic Wonder Woman" is, Infinite Crisis might not be your kind of game.
Otherwise, Infinite Crisis is now in open beta development. Join the fight for free at InfiniteCrisis.com.
