Remember Skeets? Booster Gold's robot sidekick? (You do still remember Booster Gold, right?)

Skeets hasn't been seen much lately, but he had his time in the spotlight in the past. Our favorite 24-karat coach took up the whole cover of 52 Week 37, released on this day in 2007.

This is not the cover of 52 Week 37.

I'm not going to link to the cover here because it is spoiler-y, but rest assured, there's a lot Skeets action both on the cover and the pages within. It's hardly the highlight of Skeets' sidekicking career, but as Booster himself would say: there's no such thing as bad press.

If you've never read 52, do yourself a favor: Amazon.com

(P.S.: No post on Monday. Back on Tuesday. Enjoy your weekend!)

Only one vote for a Hollywood script writer? Did Jeff Katz vote this week?

Last week's poll question: Who should write the next Booster Gold comic book? (39 votes)

I wonder how many of you have someone particular in mind?

This week's poll is the same question I asked when Justice League International was canceled back in 2012. (Been a long time, hasn't it?) I'll point out that most voters back then were overly optimistic.

Today is Wednesday, New Comics Day at comic shops across America. In Wednesdays past, Booster Gold occasionally showed up in a new comic or two. But not lately.

There are a lot of eras in American history that I would prefer not to revisit. Slavery. The Trail of Tears. Witch Trials. But Booster Gold appearing occasionally in my Local Comic Shop? Yeah, I could go back to that.

More Booster Gold apparel has been spotted on Deviant Art:

Like last week's Booster Gold hoodie, this collared polo is probably doomed to remain only in the dreams of Booster boosters. Such a shame. I'd wear this to work. Every. Day.

You can find much more comics-inspired apparel from Needham-Comics at Deviant Art.

Have you ever heard of Tracy W. Bush?

If you're a Booster Gold fan, you've probably heard him, if not of him. Bush was the original voice of Booster Gold in Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe Online. (Booster's lines have since been re-dubbed since Bush left the company.)

It's worth keeping track of Bush's work. After leaving SOE, he caught on at 5th Cell Media, the company behind the Scribblenauts franchise. Bush was credited as both a writer, audio director, and sound designer for Scribblenauts Unmasked. (He's even a character in the game!)

This means that Tracy W. Bush has played a vital role in crafting two of the three video games prominently featuring an animated Booster Gold!

If we want to see in what video game Booster will turn up next, maybe we should keep an eye on Tracy W. Bush.
