New Old Release: Superman The Man of Steel v7
Good news, Booster boosters! Booster Gold makes a cameo appearance in a new release today.
If you run out to your Local Comic Shop and pick up Superman: The Man of Steel Volume 7, you'll find our hero in some reprinted vintage action!
What, you didn't spot him? Here, let me help.
That's our Booster, hiding right there behind Firestorm and Jade. This panel originally appeared in Action Comics #596. How many of you bought that when it was on the newsstands in 1987?
Ok, so it's not much Booster, but you have to admit that DC did publish a book with Booster Gold in it today.

Where Is the Tiny Skeets?
If Booster Gold really wants to be more famous than Superman, he's going to have to improve his rogues gallery. How about a Booster Goldmite?
Artist Adam Hicks imagines that Blue Beetle and Booster Gold would have their hands full with their childish offspring. I wonder if Booster will have this problem with Rip Hunter one day.
You can find more of Hicks' work under the pseudonym Gigatoast at Deviant Art.

Time for a Healthy Breakfast
Those of you who attentively watched the DC Nation block on Cartoon Network this past weekend hopefully caught the Booster Gold reference in the Thunder and Lightning short. For those that blinked and missed it, here it is again:
Now we just need DC to get this into our grocery stores. Hopefully Sugar Bear won't find cause for litigation over the similarity with his longstanding Post Golden Crisps cereal.

What I'll Be Watching on TV This Weekend
This Sunday may see the biggest football game in America, but neither Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Joe Flacco nor San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick has ever thrown a pass to save the universe....
...much less an entire multi-verse!
Since the Big Game isn't until Sunday, you might want to check out DC Nation on Cartoon Network tomorrow morning at 10AM EST to pass the time. There will be a new Thunder & Lightning short, "Under the Weather," that Comics Alliance tells us will include a Booster Gold product placement! (Thanks to Morgenstern for reminding those of us who like to sleep in on Saturdays to set our DVRs.)
Enjoy the game, everybody.

WTF, It's Booster Gold
Last week, there was some debate about whether the character teased in DC Comics Presents #19 was going to be Booster Gold. The case against it looked pretty clear, as the results of the poll suggest.
Last week's poll question: Will the time-displaced hero in DC PRESENTS #19 be Booster Gold? (43 votes)
But yesterday, Buzzfeed.com released a list of teases about DC's April solicitations. First and foremost was news about our hero.
- Booster Gold reappears while an entire team disappears
Whoo-hoo! Now we need to know where. Could we have been wrong about DC Comics Presents? Over at ComicBook.com, Russ Burlingame suggests Justice League Dark or Stormwatch. Months back, we were told that we'd see Booster in Justice League of America, although we could certainly see him first in Justice League. Is that Booster's force field on the cover of Vibe? Might the disappearing team referenced in the tease be Suicide Squad, who all look dead on their cover?
So many options! We need more clues! Where's Rip Hunter's chalkboard when you need it?
Where do you think we should start looking? How about I give you the option of voting for up to 3 titles that DC solicited for April, and we'll narrow down the search from those that get votes.
