For the month of November, EvilGeeks.com spotlighted famous bromances in pop culture. They saved the best until nearly last, featuring Blue Beetle and Booster Gold on November 29.

Ted Kord was a timid genius and Jon Carter a boorish blowhard, but that didn't stop them from bonding on and off the job.

Personally, I wouldn't describe Booster as a "boorish blowhard," but I suspect that's largely a case of semantics. In any event, it's good to see the Blue and Gold highlighted alongside other famous bromances, like Woody and Buzz Lightyear, C3P0 and R2D2, and Holmes and Watson. That's some good company!

On Twitter, Diabolu Frank, aka @CommanderBlanx, said his most memorable Booster foe was Chiller. What else would you expect from someone who runs a website devoted to Justice League Detroit?

Last week's poll question: Who is Booster Gold's most memorable foe? (40 votes)

I imagine that most of you won't see today's Thanksgiving-themed question until Monday. Given that Thanksgiving is official holiday of leftovers, that's probably appropriate.

Booster Gold may still be missing in action, but at least we still get Skeets. Kind of.

Last week's Suicide Squad #25 seems to imply that Skeets (shown but not named) was put to work by Amanda Waller in a previous version of the Suicide Squad. Did Skeets participate Voluntarily? Does Booster know?

Thanks to MetalWoman for the intel.

Jesse Schedeen has composed his list of "The Top 25 Heroes of DC Comics" for IGN.com. I might not agree with the entire list, but I can't argue that Booster Gold deserves to be on it.

When you're a washed-up athlete in a world full of futuristic technology, how do you recapture that lost glory? Why, by stealing a bunch of gear and traveling back in time to present yourself as the world's greatest superhero, of course. Folks in the present day DC Universe don't tend to see Booster Gold as the great hero he imagines himself to be. He's more of a running joke. But he perseveres, and over the years he's proven that he really does have the right stuff. The combination of goofball humor and time travel antics always make Booster's misadventures fun to read.

If you ask me, "fun to read" should be what every comic book should strive for. Hopefully we'll see Booster bring fun back to the DCnU soon.

Thanks to Russ Burlingame for passing me this list.
