Last Chance to Buy
Toy Fair 2012 was last weekend, and as it turns out, there was some Booster Gold related news. Toy News International reports that the final Justice League Unlimited toys ever will be released at Mattel's MattyCollector.com later this year. Included in the final releases will be a 3-pack of Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and Fire.
This is hardly the first (or even the second) Booster Gold JLU figure, but it seems that it will be the last. If you want your Blue and Gold (and Green Flame!) collection to be complete, keep an eye out for this assortment online this fall.

Presenting the 100th Boosterrific Poll
I cannot tell a lie: after thinking about it, I really, really want a Before Armageddon 2001 story. In a way it would also be an After Armageddon 2001 story, and that's the sort of mind-bending, paradoxical time-travelogue I could sink my teeth into.
Last week's poll question: Which mini-series revisiting a comic including Booster Gold would you most prefer DC publish? (20 votes)
As the title of this post suggests, this is the 100th poll here at Boosterrific. To celebrate, tell us how Booster Gold has affected your life.

New Releases: Power Girl and DCU Online
Earlier this week, DC released a pic of Power Girl's DCnU costume. (Summary: impractical boob-window closed = good; solid white leotard with nearly a dozen prominent seams = bad.) To make way for its latest fashion nightmare, DC will release the collected final eight issues of PG's previous series today in Power Girl: Old Friends.
Many of the issues in this collection tied into events in Justice League: Generation Lost. As a result, Booster Gold appeared in Power Girl #19, #20, and #21. That -- and the knowledge that this is the last you'll see of PG's décolletage for the foreseeable future -- should be all the reason you need to pick up this collection.
And for you completists out there -- because let's face it, if you are buying a Power Girl collection for Booster Gold appearances, you are probably buying everything with a Booster Gold appearance in it -- note that Booster Gold makes a cameo appearance in today's DC Universe Online Legends #23. This appearance is out of continuity, but what is continuity these days, anyway?
Consider buying one or more of these issues and make out-of-continuity Skeets happy.

Ekam Steeks a Puc-c!
Sufficiently advanced technology could be indistinguishable from magic, but Booster's 25th-century tech may have met its match in Zatanna's wand.
The delightful piece above of Zatanna working her magic on Blue and Gold (and Skeets!) was drawn as a commission by Loston Wallace. You can find more of Wallace's work on his website, lostonwallace.com, or over on deviantart.com.
