Apparently, once a decade isn't often enough for Booster Gold to brag about naming Doomsday.

Booster's ability for naming disasters must be widely known if a retired detective includes it in his flashbacks to the 1990s in DC Universe: Legacies #7 in 2010.

Ten years after the death of Superman, Booster Gold retold his side of the story to reporters. Given Booster's endless self-promotion, his story is surprisingly accurate to historical events.

The flashback dialogue in 2003's Superman: Day of Doom #1 is very familiar, but the bit about Booster's failure to reap the rewards of copyrighting the name "Doomsday" is news to us.

It has been said that those who don't know history are destined to repeat it. However, Booster Gold hasn't only learned history, he's lived it, and it looks like he'll be repeating it anyway. To celebrate this rematch in the making, Boosterrific is taking a look back at what came before.

Booster Gold first met and named Doomsday in Justice League America #69 in 1993. As we will soon see, it was a significant event that Booster wouldn't let anyone else in the DC Universe forget.

It's Memorial Day weekend, traditionally the beginning of the summer movie season, also known as the season of comic book movies and runaway movie merchandising. May we never forget the grandfather of summer movie merchandising: Star Wars, which opened on Memorial Day weekend 34 years ago.

Han Solo, meet Booster Gold. (Real heroes wear collars!) This creative smash-up has been brought to you by grasshopperis777 (Robert Oden, Jr.) via deviantart.com.

Enjoy your 3-day weekend, nerf herders.

A few days ago, Booster booster Harry reported in the Boosterrific Forum that final sales estimates were in for the entire Booster Gold run of Giffen and DeMatteis. All things being equal, the news isn't that bad.

The sales fall seems to hit rock bottom with issue 41 and bounce back a little following the introduction of the Perforated Man. It's probably anyone's guess whether this is because the title finally found its sales floor, fans were excited about the storyline, or speculators were gathering for the pending Jurgens return/Flashpoint tie-in. If this is any indication, Booster Gold may still have a bit of life left. (Hopefully, this isn't simply a dead cat bounce.)
