Shameless Self-Promotion
In the true spirit of Booster Gold, I interrupt today's blog-cast to bring to your attention the Kickstarter campaign for Cellbloc Studios' video game Dungeon Wars.
Who is Cellbloc Studios, you ask? In it we are primarily several of the people I work with in my day job and me. We've decided to make a video game, and we're trying to scrounge up the capital to get the ball rolling.
If you've enjoyed the content at Boosterrific.com, please consider donating at least $1 to our Kickstarter campaign as a way of showing your thanks. I'd really appreciate it.
You may note that I've already changed the "real" ads here on the site to those promoting the Kickstarter campaign. They'll be sticking around for the duration. I'm sure I'll be mentioning this again before we reach the finish line on November 28. Sure, that seems like a lot of advertising, but don't you agree that's the way Booster would want it?
[UPDATE 10/25/12: Never mind. See Friday's post for details.]

Dressing Up for New York Comic Con 2012
I know you were waiting for cosplay pics from last week's New York Comic Con 2012. So here they are.
This picture was found at Kotaku.com. A man, his machine... It looks like there's love in the air. (Yes, we did meet this fellow earlier this year.)
The second picture of Bare Midriff Booster, Mister Miracle, Dr. Fate, and Bare Midriff Beetle comes by way of Uproxx.com (which credits its pic to by Steven Leung at Flickr.com). As much as I love seeing Mister Miracle, something about that mask is really giving me the creeps. But I love Booster's purse!

No, Not the One with Charlie Sheen
Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!
It's Booster Gold by Raymund Lee! This fan art is called The Arrival, and is but one of many entertaining pin-up illustrations of comic book heroes that can be found on his Deviant Art site.

Friends in High Places
Funny, isn't it, that when we take Booster Gold specifically out of the question, enthusiasm for a generic, selfish glory-seeker in the White House drops significantly.
Last week's poll question: If a celebrity like Booster Gold ran for President, would you be likely to vote for him? (39 votes)
As you all know by now, Booster Gold got his nom de guerre from none other than United States President Ronald Reagan himself. With friends like that, Booster could have a real career in politics without ever even having to be elected.

Month 4 and Counting
Blue Beetle finally gets the axe in January, so any hope that Booster would reappear in that series can be extinguished. Also canceled in DC's January solicitations released earlier this week are Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Grifter, and Legion Lost (which also saw a Booster appearance in issue #5).
The January solicitations don't give any evidence that Booster will be seen anywhere this month. There is no news yet on what will be replacing any of those books, but let's keep our fingers crossed for better news in February.
