I'm not seeing anything in the weekly ship list to indicate any reason for Booster Gold fans to buy comic books this week, so instead of talking about that, here's the best fan letter I received last week:

Good evening Mr. Boosterrific,

I am a fan of your catalog of Booster Gold media, the time and effort taken to make record of the content is rather admirable, with or without assistance. I adore Michael Jon Carter AKA Booster Gold. He has been my favorite DC character since I learned of his existence. Seeing another massive fan of Mr. Carter restores my faith in humanity and I would like to personally thank you for your service to the cause.

I thank you deeply for having such a wonderful archive of Booster content to look at when I am feeling down. I've shown it to my garden and my crops are growing extremely well now. Booster Gold saved my village from famine. I thank you kindly. I shall have a golden statue erected of Mr. Carter himself within my own home, and a shrine dedicated using your wonderful archive of content.

Thank you for being so amazing and terrific, this archive healed my terminal NonBoosterItis and now I am able to do back-flips and play piano at the same time. After reading about Booster Gold, I now find myself irresistible. I cannot stop looking in the mirror, I am making myself to look more like Booster in order to achieve true beauty. I am inspired!

Sincerely, Booster's Number 1 Fan

I might be inclined to argue about the title of "Booster's Number 1 Fan," but the letter was signed "Theodore Kord," so, yeah, that checks out.

Thanks for the kind words, Ted. I'm the last person to restore anyone's faith in humanity, but I am very glad to have helped your garden grow, especially if that leads to another shrine to our hero, Booster Gold.

After a long summer of capturing the heroes of Earth one by one, Eclipso made his big move in Eclipso: The Darkness Within #2, forcing the heroes to confront the lengths they were willing to go to in order to save the world from the Prince of Darkness.

But can any of us really "kill" the darkness within ourselves, Rex?

Call me a prude, but I do love it when superhero comics are morality plays, especially when the first character to reveal a hard stance against killing is the same one most people would name as the least ethical. Booster Gold is nothing if not always full of surprises.

Spoiler alert for a 1992 story: the heroes win. And only some of them have to kill somebody. Days are longer in the summer, so Eclipso would have smarter to lead a winter event story. Maybe next time.

Been busy behind the scenes here at Boosterrific lately.

Booster booster J writes in to note that I had missed Booster's feature appearance in DC Universe Infinite's DC GO Edition of Taste of Justice #15. J is right. I had missed that. If you also missed it, know that you can go right now and read it for free right now at dcuniverseinfinite.com.

J also pointed out that I had missed Booster's appearance in June's Superman: The Ultimate Guide New Edition from DK Books. Again, J is right. (J usually is.) I have corrected oversight by adding the book to the Boosterrific! Other Media: Books list.

What J failed to notice (or was perhaps too polite to mention) was that I had also been omitting the Secret Six by Gail Simone Omnibus Volumes 1 and 2 from the Boosterrific! list of reprints. (To be fair to myself, volume 2 was just released yesterday.) These collections reprint a single Booster Gold cameo appearance apiece. But no matter how small, a Booster Gold appearance is still a Booster Gold appearance, and these books are now appropriately in the Boosterrific! database.

Thanks, J. Keep reading and let me know when you find more.

Last week, the aptly named Pigeon sent me a link to a TikTok video (specifically tiktok.com/@stackthedeck/video/7563358218739535134) in reference to this screencap:

That, TikToker stackthedeck claims, is a leaked page from the upcoming Justice League / AEW crossover comics coming in 2026. As you can see, the narrative box in that final panel seems to belong to Booster Gold, who explicitly mentions Skeets. ("Let the hunt begin, folks! My buddy Skeets makes a hell of a monitor...")

Could it be that Booster and Skeets will finally be reunited ringside following DC K.O.? We can only hope.

No release date for the crossover comics has yet been announced, but it looks like sooner than later. For more information, you can read the original October 1 announcement they were coming on Variety.com.

Thanks, Pidgeon.

Just a reminder: Halloween doesn't have to be scary. It can also be adorable.
