You probably already know, but our boy got on panel three times in the Superman Treasury edition. Which hey, at least in some timeline he's not erased from existence!

Which, in fact, I did not know. Although, since Dan Jurgens is the writer, I probably should have expected.

Officially, the treasury sized book is titled Superman Treasury 2025: Hero For All #1. There are multiple covers (including one by Dan Jurgens), none of which feature Booster Gold, that are priced at $14.99. Personally, I chose the Scott Koblish (CVR C) because it includes Captain Carrot, but you do you when you go to your Local Comic Shop and buy this issue to make Skeets happy.

Thanks, SLW!

It's late, I'm busy with work, and there's precious little Booster Gold news on the radar, so I'm inclined to say that this is all the post that you're going to get today...

...but then Google slipped into my Inbox with a link to this:

It feels like forever since I've seen any new Booster Gold cosplay, so I'm quite pleased to find cupid.cosplay will be repping Booster by crashing showings of Superman this weekend. Very in-character. VERY Boosterrific!

(And don't worry if Skeets isn't ready in time. That's what time travel is for!)

Now if you'll excuse me, this work isn't going to do itself.

I've showcased custom Booster Gold Minecraft skins before. (Several times, actually.) But after recently watching the A Minecraft Movie, I got to wondering if anyone out there was still making them.

I'm happy to report that the answer is yes.

These are just the "Booster Gold" skins I found from one of my old bookmarks to The Skindex at minecraftskins.com:

Cross-tagged Blue Beetle? I'll allow it.

Those are all certainly Boosterrific, but what really impressed me was found on a rival site, planetminecraft.com:

Who needs a computer when they can have their own square Skeets?

Got a note from The Blot last week with a little something special attached.

Got an exciting new sketch in my Booster Gold sketchbook I wanted to share with you and all the Booster Boosters. Got to meet Image Comics founder Marc Silvestri at Houston's Comicpalooza last weekend. He was doing a limited amount of remarques, but said he'd do one in my sketchbook! So I jumped at the chance to get a little Booster by a comic book legend. Marc said he'd never drawn Booster before but he did a pretty good job! It’s cool to see him in Silvestri's unique line work.

The only Booster Gold drawing by Marc Silvestri in the entire world?! That's pretty Boosterrific, Blot.

Image Comics was founded in 1992 by Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvesti, and Jim Valentino. Blot now has Booster Gold sketches by two of them (the other is Liefeld). Five to go!

As SLW alerted us, Booster Gold (and Skeets!) does indeed make a cameo appearance in this week's Flash #22, where our hero (and sidekick!) show up in windows into the timestream inside the Linear Bureau's headquarters at the end of time where Wade West is being impossibly cryptic about current events:

Of course, that's not "current events" Booster, because Superman #27 makes it pretty clear that Booster is a little hung up at the moment.

That issue expressly identifies the setting of Booster's captivity as "the future," so today's question is "Where in time is Booster Gold?"

To recap: Last year's DC All-In Special led readers to believe that Booster Gold traveled across dimensions to the Alpha World of the Absolute Universe. Summer of Superman Special corrected course to reveal that Booster is not in an alternate dimension but an alternate future. But, as you can read above, Superman #27 combines the two, explaining that Booster did go to Alpha World before returning to the future of Prime Earth. Great. So now we know which dimension he's in (and that the dimensions can be transversed).

So what epoch is our hero in now? The setting of Booster's captivity would appear to be the 25th century Space Museum he once worked in, though presumably sometime after 2462 lest changes to the timeline write him out of existence. The logical assumption, especially considering the corpses of the Fatal Five seen in the aforementioned Summer of Superman, would be that he's being held captive in the 31st century, the native time period of the Legion of Super-Heroes. If that's true, where is the (uncorrupted) Legion native to our universe?

Since it's pretty clear now that "our" familiar Legion is not the same as the "Dark" Legion seen since DC All In Special, why did Booster's Flight Ring (native to Prime Earth) become a Dark Flight Ring in All In Special? Did Dark Brainiac 5 go back in time and leave his Dark Legion Flight Ring in the 25th century Space Museum?

And what, exactly, happened to Booster's high collar? All In Special promised more high collar! Must Darkseid destroy everything good in the world(s)?!
