Now that we are 99.9% sure that Booster will be appearing in next month's All-Star Western #19, you may want to pick up today's All-Star Western #18 so that you have an idea what's going on in that title. Then you can hit the ground running next month when Booster arrives to save the day.

While it's a long shot that Booster would appear in today's All-Star Weatern, Booster's appearance in today's release of Batwing Volume 2: In the Shadow of The Ancients is a sure thing. This trade collects Batwing issues #7-12 and 0. You may recall that Booster Gold and the JLI assisted Batwing in Africa in Batwing #12. Batwing quit the JLI in its very next issue. Maybe Batwing knew how bad the Justice League International Annual was going to be, so he got out while the getting was good.

Brace yourself for the cute:

This adorable couple comes to you by way of "Ren" on www.pixiv.net (which is something like DeviantArt in Japanese).

In last week's Justice League #18, the team considers new members. Their short list of candidates includes a veritable who's who of pre-Flashpoint Leaguers, but there's one who stands out by his absence. That's right, I'm talking about Booster Gold.

I have to assume that Booster's omission is purely because he is currently lost in time. There's no denying that candidates Black Canary, Black Lightning, Firestorm, Nightwing and Zatanna are all overly qualified to be Leaguers. Vixen certainly deserves a shot at New 52 redemption after the way she was recently mistreated in the pages of Justice League International. But there is no way that even Batman himself could ever convince Booster that some Joanie-come-lately calling herself "Goldrush" is going to take his rightful place at the big table!

So who is this female "Goldface"-impersonator? Is she just another gold digger, out for one of those coveted Justice League chairs with her logo on the back? Goldrush, you're going to be sorry when Goldstar comes looking for her Justice League invitation that you stole!

Earlier this week in the Boosterrific Forum, Booster booster Morgenstern pointed out that Comixology.com was telling us what DCComics.com would only tease. Specifically that Booster Gold will be the guest star in All-Star Western #20.

The official solicitation for All-Star Western #20 from DC (as found on their website here) reads:

"The future collides with the past in this issue as [REDACTED] causes problems for Jonah Hex. And in the backup story, a never before seen Stormwatch team takes the spotlight!"

Comixology's version of the solicitation for the issue (as found on their website here) has one small but specific difference:

"The future collides with the past in this issue as time traveler Booster Gold causes problems for Jonah Hex. And in the backup story, a never before seen Stormwatch team takes the spotlight!"

Did you catch that? It sure looks like Booster will be the cover surprise for All-Star Western #19!

Russ Burlingame gives his take on the story over at comicbook.com, spreading the word of Booster's return far and wide. Now's the time for those of you who called that to say "I told you so!"

Thanks, Morgenstern.

I'm so sorry. I'm working on it.

Last week's poll question: How has the recent server trouble at Boosterrific.com affected your visiting experience? (36 votes)

I talked about my feelings about this on Monday. How do you feel about it?
