There appears to have been some debate last week over at The Aquaman Shrine about some mystery character appearing in a 1993 trading card. Turns out that the character was none other than Booster Gold. One would have thought that by now Booster Gold would have reached market saturation among DC Comic fans, though admittedly Booster has spent very little time with the King of the Sea. They've only shared 28 comic books in the past two decades, and I can't presently think of any instances where the two characters actually communicated. Hmm. Maybe it's about time these two had a dedicated crossover.

Booster's two limited series, Justice League: Generation Lost #8 and Time Masters: Vanishing Point #2, are scheduled to hit stands today. Buy them both and make Skeets happy.

Russ Burlingame's latest "Gold Exchange" interview with J.M. DeMatteis over Booster Gold #35 is up at Newsarama.com. If there is anything that writers don't like to talk about, it's the future. Jurgens has always been that way, and it is clear in this column that DeMatteis is the same. It's their right to tease us into buying their work, but it sure makes for some frustrating interviews.

I thought it odd that Burlingame would even question DeMatteis on his rationale for choosing Mister Miracle and Big Barda as guests in Booster Gold. After all, DeMatteis was the original scribe for the second volume of Mister Miracle as a spin-off of Justice League. Besides, Miracle and Barda still have a lot of fans and, in their current deceased state, very few comic book appearances these days. But I do appreciate Burlingame for being thorough, and I'm always glad to read his latest column.

By the way, Burlingame is soliciting YOUR opinion regarding Giffen & DeMatteis' controversial change of tone for Booster Gold. If you have something to say about either the tragedy of G/D sullying Geoff Johns' Booster Gold renaissance or the slapstick pie that G&D have thrown in the face of an otherwise stoic DC Universe, head over to this link here to find Burlingame's email address and send him a piece of your mind. (Not literally, please. That's gross.)

For those of you who may want more information on Keith Giffen's plans after leaving Justice League: Generation Lost, Newsarama's got it here. I'm kind of surprised that he'd rather leave the JLI than Booster Gold, but he makes it very clear that he's having a lot of fun working with DeMatteis again. To those of you who are having a problem with the amount of silliness month to month in Booster Gold, beware that it won't be ending anytime soon. To those of you who are enjoying it, congratulations.

It seems I spend half of my time on this blog trying to keep up with who's talking to Dan Jurgens now. But now Jurgens already has that covered for me on the news page of his new website: DanJurgens.com.

On a personal note, I can't tell which is more flattering: the fact that I was able to score an interview with Jurgens for this site or the fact that he has mentioned Boosterrific on his (even if it is a reference to the aforementioned interview). That's not so bad for a site dedicated to the greatest hero no one has ever heard of, huh?
