Booster Gold made his first appearance in the DCnU outside of Justice League International in last week's Stormwatch #2. Booster is clearly seen giving the moon-damaging Fox a taste of his own medicine in the villain's own secret Fox Cave.

The question in this case isn't whether or not the Fox deserves this treatment (he obviously does) or whether everyone has their own Insert-Name-Here Cave in the DCnU (they apparently do), but who is the Fox? Is this Fox the DCnU member of the Terrible Trio, a villain so minor he usually escapes notice, or a villain entirely new to the DCnU?

If you think you have the answer, leave it in the Boosterrific Forum or in the comments below. Together, this is a mystery we can solve.

Russ Burlingame is getting fast with his "International Exchange" interviews with Dan Jurgens at theouthousers.com. The latest column was published yesterday afternoon.

IX: Booster seems much more receptive to Godiva this issue than he was last time around. Is that my imagination, or the heat of battle, or something more?

DJ: The something more is simple: When a pretty girl bats her eyes at Booster he immediately softens a bit. Besides, any question of receptiveness in #1 was due more to a lack of familiarity.

Could there be love in the air? Say, didn't Time Masters: Vanishing Point reveal that Booster's future wife is a blond? Hmm?

As anyone who has read page 17, panel 1 of yesterday's Justice League International #2 (or Russ Burlingame's article for ComicBook.com) knows, Booster's computerized companion, Skeets, is alive and well in the DCnU. The golden guide is taking care of business in the previously unseen "Booster Cave," Booster's new secret headquarters. Move over, Superman robots, Skeets is in the house!


Booster Gold has long been an admirer of Batman, going so far as majoring in "Superheroes" in college. Now that Booster is a successful hero in his own right as leader of the Justice League, it's only fitting that Booster would have his own secluded headquarters. The possible creation of a "Boostercave" was first teased in Booster Gold, Volume 2, #21. Four years and one major universe reboot later, that dream has become a reality.

Now that we're all relieved to learn Skeets is still a player in the DCnU, let's focus on the new mystery at hand: what trophies does Booster keep in his Booster Cave? This post contains potential spoiler information. Click here to reveal.
(Don't peek unless you've read Justice League International #2.)

Traditionally, comics retailers have ordered significantly fewer copies of second issues than first issues. That being the case, you may want to hustle to your Local Comic Shop before Justice League International #2 sells out today (assuming you don't buy your comics online where they never sell out). Don't be the last on your block to learn the stunning answer to the biggest question in the DCnU!

"Not benched"? Has Skeets been destroyed? Is Skeets having missions without Booster? Has Skeets been rebooted with a sense of humor? Did Jim Lee redesign Skeets into something akin to Doctor Who's K-9? I have to know!!

As Shawn pointed out in yesterday's comments, Booster Gold came in #13 in the Comic Book Resources' Comics Should Be Good "2011 Top 100 DC Comic Book Characters" poll posted last month. Booster received a total of 20 first place votes, as many as Darkseid, Supergirl, and Martian Manhunter combined. (By comparison, the most favored character, Batman, received 313 first place votes, winning by a wide margin.) That's a pretty good showing for a character almost unknown to the general public. Either the voters at CBR.com are a bunch of nerdy comic-book geeks, or Booster's stock is rising!
