Mining for Gold
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?

The Blot's One of a Kind Sketchbook
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!

Sing it, Rockapella
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)?!

New Release: New History of the DCU 1
If you have read the preview of today's New History of the DC Universe #1 (available at AIPTComics.com, among other places), you may have noticed on the very first panel of the very first page a very familiar... well, "face" is definitely the wrong word:
There, on the left, it's Skeets!
(And many, many other treasures looted from the Justice League trophy room, including Superman's cape, Green Arrow's bow, Jack O'Lantern's lantern, Wild Dog's mask, Zatara's top hat, Blue Beetle's BB Gun, Kanjar Ro's Scepter, the Key's key, the Orb of Ra, Magog's staff, Star Man's Cosmic Rod, the original Red Tornado's helmet, the Guardian's shield, the Red Jar of Calythos, the Green Bell of Utholl, the Silver Wheel of Nyorlath, two Legion Flight Rings, Captain Cold's mask, the Book of Eternity, Elongated Man's Gingold, Batman's batarangs, a couple of other things I don't recognize, and I'm sure that's not all. I mean, the whole history of the DCU has to be in there somewhere.)
Thanks to all who made sure I saw this.
Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.
UPDATE: As you can see from the comments, Booster also makes an unexpected cameo appearance in Superman #27 and Flash #22. So buy those, too.

Coming Soon: Superman #30
Judging by how many people wrote to tell me about this, I assume most of you already know. But for posterity's sake, this was in the DC Solicitations for September 2025:
SUPERMAN #30
Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON
Art and cover by DAN MORA
$4.99 US | 32 pages | ON SALE 9/24/25
Superman has found the mysterious hero known as Booster Gold. Together, they must return to the present day to warn the Justice League, but Darkseid’s Legion stands in the way. The shocking events of this issue lead into next month’s massive next chapter in the all in saga!!
We already had reason to believe that Booster would be seen in Superman #28 in July, when this storyline begins. Should we also expect to see our hero in Superman #29? I guess we'll know in August.
It should be noted that DC has also solicited for The Human Target: The Deluxe Edition hardcover, which we already know includes Booster Gold, so we can keep an eye out for that this November.
You can read these and all the other solicitations at AIPTComics.com.
Thanks to all who made sure I didn't miss this.
