Party with Booster Gold and Blue Beetle
Last week, Comics Alliance ran an article by Chris Sims about which comic book characters from DC and Marvel would be the most fun to party with. (Booster Gold and Blue Beetle score 3 out of 10 party hats.) While I thought that was news enough to post in and of itself, trying to rediscover that link to post here today accidentally led me to discover Boostle, a Live Journal blog devoted to all things Blue and Gold. A website devoted to Booster Gold? What a great idea!

One-Armed Arsenal
Today DC releases the first chapter of Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal, presumably detailing Roy Harper's return following the loss of his right arm in Justice League: Cry For Justice. The last Leaguer to lose an arm and replace it with a cybernetic prosthesis was, of course, Booster Gold. With Cyborg now also a Justice League member, perhaps in this mini-series the trio will form a support group to lament their lost limbs (though I doubt it). Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal, part 1 of 4, has a cover price of $3.99.

Warner Brothers Go North
Yesterday Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment announced the opening of a development studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in order to develop video games specifically based on DC properties. No games or titles were announced, though the business plan looks forward to a full-scale production company by 2015. While WBIE will no doubt be primarily interested in producing games to go with their upcoming movies (Green Lantern and Jonah Hex spring to mind), surely it can't be long now before Booster Gold finally appears in a licensed video game.

Personal Jet Packs
Personal flight machines have been making the news rounds in recent weeks, as NASA announced a prototype "flying suit" and Martin Aircraft Company has unveiled their made-to-order jetpack on the public. While neither of these products are quite Flight Rings, they certainly bring us one step closer to the flying cars we should all own by the 25th century. Soon, no one will need to steal a time machine to feel like a super hero.

Gold Exchange 30
Russ Burlingame's latest interview with Dan Jurgens is up at Newsarama.com. Most satisfying about this interview was Jurgens' admission that "the version of Skeets we're now dealing with was fully programmed by Rip." Finally! The truth about Skeets II! At least the post-Mr. Mind Skeets II, anyway.
