Booster Gold, hero from the future, will be coming to a computer near you today as DC releases Smallville: Season 11 #42 on ComicXology.com. This is the first of the 9-part story "Argo" reported to feature Smallville version of Booster Gold (who looks a lot like soap-opera star Eric Martsolf).

Don't worry if digital comics aren't your thing. You'll find this issue at your Local Comic Shop on May 8, collected as part of Smallville: Season 11 #13. Be sure not to confuse this printed issue with the digital Smallville: Season 11 #13, which was printed in Smallville: Season 11 #5. I'm sure that DC has a good reason for making the numbering for these issues so confusing, but don't ask me what it is!

I'm so desperate for the return of Booster Gold, I may be buying this in both digital and print issues!

Last week's poll question: When will you be buying the chapters of Smallville: Season 11 #13? (36 votes)

It was a year ago at the 2012 SyFy Upfronts that the network announced they were working on an "Untitled Booster Gold Project." The 2013 SyFy Upfront was yesterday, and there was no sign of any Booster Project, untitled or otherwise.

The last news we heard about the Booster Gold show was that writer Andrew Kreisberg was set to deliver a script for the pilot back in December 2011. Given the lack of any news in the months since, it sure is beginning to look like we won't be seeing Booster Gold on SyFy.

This image isn't new (creator Kris Smith posted it on DeviantArt back in 2009), but that doesn't make it any less Boosterrific.

Who wouldn't want to watch a cartoon show about this odd couple?

This weekend there was a discussion on the Boosterrific Forum about what costume Booster Gold might be wearing when he drops in on All-Star Western later this month. Clearly, a few fans are still displeased over Booster's New 52 costume. (I am one of them.)

The illustration above shows the progression of Booster's gloves from his debut to now. In his debut series, Booster had gold gloves with blue bracelets. In his second series, Booster had blue gloves with gold bracelets. Now Booster has gold gloves with gold bracelets.

Assuming that it is Booster Gold's golden hand we see on the solicited half-cover for All-Star Western #19, it looks like Booster will still be wearing his New 52 apparel. That is, unless he has put his old costume back on for a trip to the Old West.

We'll find out for sure when All-Star Western #19 hits stands April 24.

According to ComicsPriceGuide.com, Booster Gold, Vol. 1, #9 is worth about $3.00 in near-mint condition. According to Etsy.com, the same issue is worth more than $4.40 if you cut all the pages out.

JennsMinis is selling 12 pages from the issue in two separate listings (here and here). The issue originally contained 16 pages of story and ads. Even if you buy both listings, you'll still have to buy an intact issue and tear it apart yourself to complete your collection of loose pages.
