A few days ago, Booster booster CDN pointed out in the Boosterrific Forum that Vaneta Rogers at Newsarama.com had included Booster Gold in an article regarding speculating on the upcoming "Trinity War" event.

With Booster being one of Johns' favorite characters (he launched the character's most recent solo title), and the Booster of the future knowing so much about the Justice League, the chances are good that the man in gold will show up at some point. And when Booster's around, heroics ensue.

Elsewhere, both comichype.com and popcults.com give Booster glowing reviews for his visit with Jonah Hex in All-Star Western #19.

Given such a long period of inactivity for Booster Gold following his disappearance in Justice League International Annual last year, there sure seems to be a lot of people talking about our hero these days. That's some good news indeed!

Talk about your inter-company crossovers!

I've posted on the "lost" adventures found by Super-Team Family before (here and here), but each day, Ross Pearsall continues to reach into the multiverse to bring us a new, unseen cover to a story that fans here on Earth Prime would pay through the nose to read. You can find a larger pic of the cover for this team up between Booster Gold and Marvel Comic's time traveling villain, Krang, at Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues.

Thanks, Ross. Keep up the good work!

This might be my favorite Booster Gold cosplay pic ever.

This is just one of several cosplay pics from C2E2 on the tumblr.com feed of Oliver Sava. You can check them out here.

Given that the current New 52 incarnation of Captain Marvel Shazam is such a jerk, I'm guessing the New 52 Black Adam is probably a pretty nice guy.

Last week's poll question: What historical DCU character would you like to see time-traveler Booster Gold visit next? (54 votes)

You may recall that I ran a poll back in February that failed to record most of the results because I carelessly left a script disconnected while trying to resolve the server slowdown. Today, that poll gets a second chance.

I've been enjoying Smallville Season 11 so much, but I can't quite overlook this bit of physics fallacy in issue #44:

While Booster Gold is no doubt a superior athlete, he'd have a very had time throwing a basketball accurately 50 yards down field to an open receiver. It's not Booster's fault: you simply can't throw a "perfect spiral" with a round ball.

Instead of a round ball, American Football employs a prolate spheroid. In addition to the added benefit of the aerodynamic profile of the prolate spheroid, it is also easier to grip in one hand, thus allowing the passer to impart proper rotation to the football via the throwing motion. The rotation adds gyroscopic stability to the ball, resulting in faster, longer, and more accurate passes.

I know that you're just trying to be nice, Skeets, but so long as you look like a bloated cue ball, you'll not be participating in many successful Hail Marys.
