Last week at ComicsAlliance.com, Andy Khouri posted Kevin Maguire's turnarounds (front, side, and rear view drawings used for visual reference by a sculptor) for the 2009 DC Direct Justice League International action figures. Of course these things look great.

Comics Alliance may have just posted an article about it, and I may have just re-posted it, but there isn't really anything new here. These drawings were made for a set of action figures released 2 years ago. Comics Alliance even notes that they re-posted these images from the (apparently now-defunct) Poytress of Solitude website, where they had been originally posted in 2008.

But there is no shelf life on great art, and if you haven't seen these drawings before, they're new to you! Thanks to loyal Boosterphile Morgenstern for calling these images to my attention.

Do you have holes in your Booster Gold collection? Do you like to read comics but you hate all that cumbersome paper? Then have I got a deal for you!

From yesterday through Sunday morning, DC is offering a huge selection of digital comics from 2005-2007 for sale at a mere 99¢ each at Comixology. Since these comics are the nearly complete Infinite Crisis and 52 storylines, they also happen to contain the resurgence of Booster Gold! The available comic books featuring appearances by Booster Gold are

• Countdown to Infinite Crisis #1 (Booster Gold gets a contract to sell sunglasses!)
• The OMAC Project #1-6 (Booster Gold attacks Batman!)
• Infinite Crisis #2, 4-7 (Booster Gold gets a new costume!)
• The OMAC Project Special #1 (Booster Gold flies away!)
• 52 #1-8, 10, 15, 20, 22, 24-25, 31, 33-37, 50-52 (Booster Gold dies and saves the universe!)
• World War III #2 (Booster Gold visits the Leaning Tower of Pisa!)

Sure, you could buy the issues that don't include Booster Gold, but why would you want to? (I mean, unless you also want the issues where Max Lord is killed. Or maybe you like to read complete stories. Whatever.)

You can find the whole list of comics for sale on DC's Source Blog here, and the Comixology DC Store here.)

With Justice League: Generation Lost finally wrapping up, it looks like Booster Gold is back to one appearance a month in his solo series. We've gotten spoiled after several months of 3, even 4 Booster Gold appearances in a month. So sad.

But what's with these persistent rumors that I keep hearing about an upcoming series...?

I think I like it. Click here to reveal major spoiler.
(Don't peek unless you've read Justice League: Generation Lost #24.)

Here comes the big finish! The final issue! The long-awaited battle between Booster Gold and Maxwell Lord! Justice League: Generation Lost #24 is scheduled to hit stands today (alongside Brightest Day #24), wrapping up the year-long mega-series. At 48 pages, it's 50% longer than the previous 23 issues, but at $4.99, it's also 66% more expensive. At least that's still cheaper than a gallon of gas! Buy it and make Skeets happy.

It seems like for the past few months, I've been inundated with messages exclusively about Smallville, so I'm kind of surprised that no one had called this fan film posted to YouTube at the end of February to my attention yet.

I love the idea of mimicking a low-budget 1986 video, but at least put a collar on Booster! The theme song by Kristopher Fulton is Boosterrific but also dangerously infectious! (I simply can't get it out of my head.)

The video was made by a group of fans and video students calling themselves Super Unofficial. The official Super Unofficial website is here, but you can find their related Booster Gold and other hero videos (including Black Canary, Superman, and the Shadow) at youtube.com/SuperUnofficial.
