Superbuddies! Moves to Heroes!
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.

The Voice of Booster 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.
Note: if you cannot see the audio player, you do not have Adobe Flash Player installed in your browser.

Let's Just Blame It on the Internet
Technical difficulties are slowing my internet access to a crawl this morning, so I will limit today's blog post to a notice that Booster Gold does indeed appear in this weeks' very disappointing Justice League of America 80-Page Giant 2011, which has been added to the Boosterrific database. I was surprised to hear from SuperPat yesterday that Booster was included in the one-shot, so I rushed out and read it so that you don't have to. Sad to say, it's not very good. (It's not Extreme Justice bad, but then Extreme Justice never cost $5.99 an issue.) Read at your own risk.

New Release: Time Masters TPB
With Justice League: Generation Lost #22 released 2 weeks ago, you might have expected to see #23 this week. But you won't. Justice League: Generation Lost #23 won't ship until next week. This is not the first 3-week gap between issues, but with only 2 issues to go, it should be the last.
This week the only Booster Gold you're likely to see is in the Time Masters: Vanishing Point collected trade. If you passed on individual Time Masters issues waiting on the trade, now's your chance. And you're in luck: the trade is advertised at $14.99. If you bought the 6 individual issues, you spent $23.94 for 138 pages of story (including covers, excluding variant covers). Considering that the trade is advertised at 144 pages, it appears that good things do come to those who wait. Buy it and make Skeets happy.

News Flashpoint! (Sorry.)
Newsarama.com has posted Vaneta Roger's latest Flashpoint interview with Geoff Johns that includes a brief but interesting tidbit about Booster Gold.
Nrama: Solicitations have indicated that Booster Gold knows the Flashpoint world isn't his own. The concept behind an altered timeline goes right along with his series. Did you think of him all along as someone who could be involved in Flashpoint?
Johns: Yes, that was the one book that I knew would be tied into the mini-series. I knew [Booster Gold creator] Dan [Jurgens] was coming back [to write and draw Booster Gold], and I talked to him a lot about this story. It just felt like he's the natural person to have be involved in this, and that his book would just fit right along with it. If you're going to tie in anything, that's the book to tie-in.
Kudos to Rogers and Johns for managing to talk at length about the hows and whys of producing Flashpoint without giving much of the story away, maintaining the mystery of Flashpoint. You can read the whole article here.
