Keith Giffen has been voted as the 101st Greatest Comic Book Artist of All-Time by readers of the Comics Should Be Good blog at Comic Book Resources. I just thought you should know.

Granted, these are the same readers who declared that Robin V, Damien Wayne, would beat Booster Gold in a street fight. The top 90 artists have yet to be revealed, but you can compare your favorites with the master list of the top 125 artists here, if you dare.

UPDATE: I've started a thread in the Boosterrific.com forum here to have my say on the matter.

Big week this week as Booster Gold #43 and Justice League: Generation Lost #23 are scheduled to hit stands today. This is the penultimate issue of Generation Lost. After the big reveal in last week's Brightest Day #23, what could be in store for the JLI as they head into "the most awesome fight in comic book history"?

But that's not all! Also due out today is the latest Booster Gold collection, Past Imperfect. This issue collects the first six issues by the creative team of Giffen/DeMatteis/Batista/Perotta. That's pretty good timing, seeing that today's Booster Gold #43 is the last issue created by the Giffen/DeMatteis/Batista/Perotta creative team. (Booster Gold-creator Dan Jurgens makes his return next issue!)

Buy all of them and make Skeets happy.

From CBR's coverage of the DC Icons panel at WonderCon 2011:

Judd Winick discussed his current work on "Justice League: Generation Lost" as well as his upcoming run on "Batman and Robin." "I got more crap when it was first revealed that I was on 'Generation Lost." But I have been pleased with the reaction since the book has come out." The last issue will be released in the same week as the final issue of "Brightest Day." Winick touted the finale as containing "the most awesome fight in comic book history."

Whether you loved or hated Winick before Generation Lost, I think you'll have to admit that the story of the book has been a pretty fun ride. But that's going to have to be a pretty awesome conclusion to live up to Winick's hype. DC Comics alone has had some pretty darn awesome fights: Superman vs. Doomsday, Jordan vs. Gardner, and Superboy-Prime vs. everybody else.

You can read Wilson Trang's entire wrap up of the DC Icons panel at WonderCon 2011 on Comic Book Resources. And you can read the first part of Winick's super-fight tomorrow in Justice League: Generation Lost #23.

Over in the Boosterrific forum, Eyz let us that he has a new Superbuddies! comic up at the strips's new home, heroes-comix.blogspot.com. The first panel is below. Click the image to read the rest of the strip (in higher definition!) at Eyz's new Heroes! website.

Todays strip reminds me of the frame story in 1988's Secret Origins #35, where Martian Manhunter chastised Booster for trying to cash in on the Justice League's good name. It wouldn't be too many more years later before the League would set up a gift shop in New York City to cash in on its own no-longer-so-good name. Ah, nostalgia. Yesterday's drama is today's comedy gold.

Those of you who have played DC Universe Online are already very familiar with this, but I thought the rest of you deserved to hear the voice of Gold.

That's Tracy W. Bush -- only the second third person to give official voice to Booster Gold after Tom Everett Scott and David Coyne (see comments below for details) -- as Booster Gold from one of the many, many Booster Gold kiosks littered throughout Metropolis and Gotham City. This sample is only the tip of the iceberg; Booster is much more verbose and far funnier in most of his DC Universe Online sound bites.
