Booster Gold, Volume 2, #37 (now with more tentacles!) and Justice League: Generation Lost #11 are scheduled to hit stands today. Buy them both and make Skeets happy.

In my regular trolling of the internet yesterday, I was shocked to discover an article at TechNewsWorld.com by Rob Enderle including the following analogy:

The iPhone is magic, wonderful, magnificent. It is presented much like a costumed hero, and you're asked not to look behind the costume or the hype at problems with its antenna, its yellowing display, or, most recently, its very fragile glass case.

Don't get me wrong, with all of this it is still rated as one of the best superphones (we call them smartphones) in the market, but to get there it needs a costume (case) and a lot of Apple magic. If I were to connect it to a Superhero, Booster Gold with a better PR manager comes to mind.

I was really looking forward to Booster Gold's appearance on Smallville as a chance to introduce the character to a mass mainstream audience that had never met the character. But if Booster Gold is well-known enough to be the super-hero of choice in a Rob Enderle article about cellphones, then maybe Michael Jon Carter has a higher Q rating than I thought.

The entire article, wherein Enderle compares the Windows 7 Phone to Superman and Microsoft management to Doomsday, can be found here.

Not a lot of Booster Gold news from this past weekend's New York Comic Con other than the tease that Booster Gold will be "from the future" on Smallville. That may not seem like much, but given Smallville's track record of reinventing DC characters, I guess we should be thankful for the small things.

Today kicks off this weekend's 2010 New York Comic Con, billed as the biggest comics expo on the East Coast. DC certainly plans to have a presence at the convention even if they aren't planning any Booster Gold events. Thankfully, Ilikecomicstoo is picking up DC's slack and will be hosting an informal gathering for Booster Gold and Blue Beetle fans on Saturday at noon. Details are on her website, ilikecomictoo.wordpress.com, or her YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/ilikecomicstoo. Have a good time, everybody.

I recently added this totally awesome image from the next issue tease in Justice League Europe #6 to the database.

I liked it so much, I mocked-up the business card that the pair were no doubt handing to all their contacts. ("Here, take my card, Mr. Wayne.")

Don't bother asking why would I waste my time in such a frivolous manner as making recreations of fictional business cards referenced in one-panel gags from comic books published 20 years ago. It's my time, and I'll waste it however I want to. So there.
