Giving Thanks for the Fans
The penultimate chapter of "The Tomorrow Memory" story was the winner in last week's poll, though not by overwhelming numbers. Thanks to all who voted.
Last week's poll question: What is the best single comic book that features Booster Gold? (43 votes)
While the results of last week's poll inspires a number of questions for future polls, there is a much more pressing question after this week's big news.

Giving Thanks for Beefcake
Happy Thanksgiving. Take your time, enjoy your meal. Let Booster Gold take care of the dishes.
Artist Erica Henderson hints that she wants to do a 2013 DC beefcake calendar on her blog I Fail At Life, That's Why I Became An Artist. That sounds like something we can give thanks for.

Giving Thanks for Hollywood
As announced yesterday by Lacey Rose of the The Hollywood Reporter, the SyFy network has optioned a pilot for a series based on Booster Gold.
The project, which hails from Greg Berlanti's Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television, will count Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters, No Ordinary Family, Green Lantern) as an executive producer. Fringe's Andrew Kreisberg, who collaborated with Berlanti on ABC's Eli Stone, is on board to pen the script and executive produce. DC Comics will also receive an EP credit.
Holy. Crap.
It seriously appears that Booster Gold could possibly have his own television show! This news has spread like wildfire across the internet (and announcements about the show have filled up the Boosterrific inbox), indicating that there is some serious interest in the fan community about Booster going live action full time. Someone get Skeets an agent, quick!

Giving Thanks for Popular Media
Booster Gold has appeared in two recent publications, one printed, one virtual.
1. Booster Gold appears as a comparison to the vigilante Phoenix Jones in the October 24, 2011, issue of Sports Illustrated magazine. Booster is seen alongside Black Lightning, Wildcat, and Marvel's Northstar. Sports Illustrated has a reported print circulation of 3 million readers and an Alexa ranking as the 53rd most trafficked site on the internet. This means that Booster has just been exposed to a huge market of sports fans! (This appearance noted by Shawn Baston.)
2. Booster Gold is used as a comparison to the television personality Ian Alleyne in Karel McIntosh's November 14, 2011, article appearing on Outlish.com. Booster is used as a counterpoint to Batman in a discussion of Alleyne's motives on his television show Crime Watch. Outlish.com is a virtual magazine targeted at the youth of Trinidad and Tabago that Alexa ranks in the top 500,000 sites on the internet. This means that Booster Gold has just been exposed to a growing international market!
By comparison, Alexa ranks Boosterrific.com only in the top 8 million of sites on the internet. So we'll take every bit of help we can get spreading the good word of Booster Gold, thanks!
