man, no new Booster till Jan. 12th? :( I guess i've been spoiled with all the books he's been in recently. At least I've got Flash, although the first arc of that series left much to be desired. Hopefully Zoom can inject some excitement.

On the up side, there will be a lot of Booster on January 12. If you can last that long, you'll be well rewarded.

The Flash issue also shows off a lot of the 25th century in the previews. Not sure how this clicks with what we've seen with Booster.

in the Flash issue on Professor Zoom, he keeps changing his own history and those around him, and thus there's no telling the impact that would have on Booster as he lived in Gotham (moved to Metropolis) and Thawne lived in Central City

I'm not sure how it flowed but I meant the "there are no accidents in the 25th century. We're all obsessed with time and not wasting it." Because I don't recall anything like that in Boosters' books.

I'm sure we'll learn more in Flashpoint, if I know Geoff Johns, he isn't afraid of retconning things to make them make more sense

I didn't know Booster would be showing up in The Flash. Good to know as I had stopped buying that book.<br />I hope Geoff Johns doesn't change things TOO much. I liked the 25th century the way it was originally written. :)

This gives me confidence that my theory regarding Supernova's Identidy is true...(do theories based on already released issues count as spoilers?)<br />And another question...did the "general Superhero community" ever learn who Supernova was during 52? And what the deal was behind Booster's "death"?

So far as I am aware, Booster's role in the creation of the 52-verse is not public knowledge. Early in the current BOOSTER GOLD series reporter Rose Levin learned that Daniel Carter was Supernova, but whether she has shared this info with the public is unknown.

Can't wait to see Booster's costume on TV! Will it be the Mark I suit, or the current one? What do you guys think?

tiggerpete posted on Dec. 28, 2010 at 1:54 AM
I'm thinking it may be sort of his costume from 52 given the description of his character in Smallville, though I imagine he'll have a jacket on like from the Conglomerate days. the more I think about it, I think it'll be entirely new but based on a nascar racing suit, it makes sense on a Smallville scale, assuming he is still a super-pitch-man in Smallville continuity

Superman posted on Dec. 29, 2010 at 11:08 AM
@tiggerpete: Hmm. Now that you point that out, it does make more sense for Booster to wear a jacket than a spandex suit, maybe something like those leather jackets the Legion of Superheroes wore when they appeared. Those speak of "cool" and "modern", while wearing the traditional costume tends toward "retro", like in the JSA episode. I'd sure love to see the comics suit in action, though.

I personally would like to see his NASCAR style uniform like he had on the cover of one of the 52 issues.

Superman posted on Dec. 25, 2010 at 2:26 AM
Might be uncomfortable, but look who's being close and intimate to Wonder Woman. Haha.

tiggerpete posted on Dec. 26, 2010 at 4:38 AM
though the way she's drawn, it appears that WW is a bit less endowed than normal, as in it appears she is far from filling out her costume if you catch my meaning, plus she seems to be the only one there without a drink, so she is obviously not in a party mood. point is, Booster doesn't stand much of a chance of doing anything with WW. also, 90's art is not very appealing in my mind and this is a more subtle instance of it, but still not my cup of tea.

Wow, I'm very thankful for this. I usually love to see the solicits when they emerge, mainly for the covers, but I have noticed that sometimes the solicits ruin a key plot moment in the series. As much as it pains me to not look at the covers, I'll hold off for now.

Superman posted on Dec. 23, 2010 at 12:27 PM
Too late for me. I saw that solicit on Tuesday and I completely freaked. Ugh!

Erin posted on Dec. 23, 2010 at 2:01 PM
I still find the spoilers in question hard to believe given how much it goes against the direction DC is pushing. But I've noticed that JLGL in particular has been spoiling their own story by revealing too much. Many of us guessed the Magog one but they outright said who lived in the solicits before the issue came out.

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Dec. 23, 2010 at 4:27 PM
There's nothing new about DC's approach to spoilers. DC's been doing it for years and years. It's why I stopped reading PREVIEWS nearly a decade ago. If I miss a book here and there, so be it. DC doesn't care about me, a single buyer, so I don't care to buy the books that they spoil for me.

I've been reading comics long enough to know that every "shocking" story gets undone eventually. Barry Allen and Jason Todd are alive. Comic book heroics are all about maintaining the status quo, so why should I ever get bent out of shape about a temporary change to a marketable asset? That's why I hate spoilers so much: eventually it's all going to be undone anyway, so why spoil the story in a rush to reveal the ephemeral ending?

I'll buy the book in question because I was going to buy it anyway. I'm really enjoying the series, but this sort of thing really sours my enjoyment of it. There's not much reason for me to give so much of my limited income to a comic book company that makes a practice of diminishing my satisfaction of their increasingly expensive product.

Morgenstern posted on Dec. 24, 2010 at 2:28 PM
DC does what it consideres to be the best way of making a profit by selling comics...and should not the Fans of Booster Gold be among those with at least some understanding for questionable actions targeted at making money?<br />Though regarding the spoiler the question, if true (what I doubt), I do have to add the following to DC: Leckt mich

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Dec. 24, 2010 at 8:37 PM
Heh. I appreciate the irony, Morgenstern. My point is not to disparage the free market. My point is that I am confident that DC's strategy of damaging the potential of maintaining an amenable by revealing story spoilers is sabotaging long term sales. Either DC is only thinking short term, or they believe that acts like this spoiler don't harm long-term sales. Certainly, they could have teased the event without giving away the spoiler info, as demonstrated by the company's very successful approach to COUNTDOWN TO INFINITE CRISIS. It was well teased without giving the secret away, and it sold very, very well (nearly a quarter of a million copies, a sum almost unheard of in today's market).

Kevin posted on Dec. 27, 2010 at 11:38 PM
Personally, I don't buy it. Considering alone how many times Max has made people see things, plus considering...well, there is no way to say this without spoiling it, so SPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER<br />considering the scarab already has brought Jaime back to life once...<br />SPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER! SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER<br />This will all turn out to be a plot twist.<br />More important is who is the former JLI member joining the team with Batman and Power Girl...personally...considering everything that has happened...I have tiny hopes it is Ted, finally back.

Gee whiz, Kevin. If you're going to spill the beans, at least have the decency to warn people that it is a spoiler.

tiggerpete posted on Dec. 28, 2010 at 1:49 AM
I have avoided the spoiler until now and I am not reading the post that says spoiler 50 times, that said, I only read reactionary articles about what has happened and avoid previews and spoilers until I can read something for myself, its not hard if you know what to avoid, and I know what titles are coming out which week due to an app on my Droid, so I don't need the previews book
