Believe it or not, there are several comics websites I enjoy that have nothing to do with Booster Gold. (Hard to believe, I know, but they do exist.) When those sites veer into Booster territory, no matter how tangentially, I'd be remiss not to promote them here. Today's link falls into that category.

Bully the Little Stuffed Bull spends a great deal of time entertaining the web on his website, Bully Says: Comics Oughta Be Fun. One of his regular weekly features is "Ten of a Kind," in which he posts 10 comic book covers sharing a common theme. This week, the theme is anger, and -- guess who? -- Booster Gold is included from the cover of Extreme Justice #6.

This issue, you'll recall, is the one in which Booster reclaims what was left of the fortune stolen from him by the Manhunters in Millennium. This comic is also the last recorded appearance of Dirk Davis, Booster's former manager and among the first character casualties of DC's emerging, line-wide annual crossovers strategy. DC editorial mandated turning established supporting characters into sleeper-agent villains for Millennium, resulting in some very confusing continuity and permanently truncated story lines. Good to see that DC has learned their lesson on that front (he says, sarcastically).

So go, enjoy Bully's gentle, loving mockery of comic books. I know I do.

Last week I gave you Dragon Con. This week, I give you Baltimore Comic-Con 2012. Feast your eyes on these cosplayers:

The pic of the Blue and Gold girls on the left comes via On Wednesdays We Wear Pink, which includes this pair among favorite BCC 2012 cosplayers. It's hard to see in my pic, but that's a collared Booster Gold t-shirt in the background!

Speaking of collared Booster Gold shirts, the pic on the right comes by way of Inverse Press. You probably can't dress as Booster Gold in your workplace, but this fellow's clever update of Booster's classic costume would even be allowed on the links at your local country club! Take that, Jim Lee!

Perhaps I've been too maudlin these past few days, complaining about no Booster Gold in our lives. That stops here! Enjoy the video and your weekend, Booster Boosters!

(The song is "You're The Best" by Joe Esposito, better known as "That Song From The Karate Kid." The video edit is by TheDCVerse. The combination is pure gold.)

A plurality of us voters are comic book traditionalists, obviously. However, I think it's worth noting that if I had combined television and movies into one category, it would have made up over 50% of the vote. A majority of voters really want to see Booster Gold come alive off the page again. I can get behind that, especially if it gives us the best odds of seeing Booster Gold again.

Last week's poll question: In what medium would you most prefer to receive future Booster Gold adventures? (49 votes)

As mentioned yesterday, there's no hint yet from DC when Booster Gold will be returning to action. It's natural that human beings in an information vacuum will assume the worst, so how are we Booster Gold fans holding up?

DC released solicitations for the month of December earlier this week, and there was still no sign of Booster Gold. It looks like it's time to dig in for the long haul: it may be a quarter of a year or more before we see Booster Gold in a new DC comic again.

Before we abandon all hope, let me remind you that Jason Tabyrs of Comic Book Resources reported that a DC panel told the crowd at the Baltimore Comic-Con earlier this month that Booster Gold would be seen again in Justice League of America sometime in 2013. The panelists included Dan DiDio, who is both in a position to know and has a history of lying to us. So take that news as you will.
