Buy Booster Gold

Bearly Passable

Sorry, SLW, I looked around, and the closest I came to that Booster Gold plushie is this real Blue Beetle Build-A-Bear:

Build A Bear Blue Beetle

Which makes me think that we're pretty close to having a Booster Gold Build-A-Bear if Warner Bros can ever actually get a Booster Gold show off the ground.

New Release: Fire and Ice When Hell Freezes

I hadn't expected to see Booster Gold in my Local Comic Shop this week, so imagine my surprise when SLW dropped into the comments of Monday's post to alert us that Booster can be seen in Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #2. Kinda.

I wonder if that Booster Gold doll is made by the same manufacturer as the one we saw in Booster Gold Volume 2 #17:

And like SLW, I also wonder how anyone could be making Booster Gold plushies in a continuity that doesn't remember Booster Gold ever existed? Oh, well. Probably best not to think too much about it.

Thanks, SLW.

Cheesed Off

Spotted on Reddit: this custom Booster Gold action figure with flat top!

Custom Booster Gold figure by PsychologicalRub5079 via Reddit

I love the hair style. It's got a comic book precedent, too; Booster did indeed have a flat top-adjacent crew cut in the original Booster Gold #13 (perhaps not so coincidentally while the original Top Gun was in theaters).

Buried in the Substacks

I'm on record as no fan of social media, but without reddit, I never would have discovered that Superman scribe Joshua Williamson has a substack.com account, "Joshua Williamson's Super Scary Newsletter," where on "Superman Day" April 18 he posted the following:

I've been asked "is this Legion is from the future of the DCU or from the Absolute Universe?" And that will be answered in this storyline. You'll see. As Booster said in the Summer of Superman Special "The future is lost." Could Booster be talking about TWO futures? Or more? Or just one? That will be revealed soon. There is a pretty big clue as to what is going on hidden within the All In Special, if you think about it.

Dan Mora is drawing these issues and it is looks kick-ass. So beautiful. He’s been killing it on the book since #19 and now with this arc he's doing bonkers work. Dan's cover for #29 is going to break some hearts.

You're going to hear a lot about Superman #28 in the coming months. That issue picks up the All In mystery with Booster Gold's disappearance, Darkseid's Legion and its connections to the Absolute Universe. It's going to be a story that tests Superman's optimism for the future in new ways. Taking him on a hard journey with some unexpected allies.

The arc starting in #28 is a prelude to a massive story starting for Superman in the fall. You don't want to miss it as it's going to be a key piece of the DC's plans for the year. And if you think this story is wild...wait until you see what happens in #31!

I've thought about All In Special waaay too much, and I wish I had a clue about what he thinks I should think is a clue. That the logo has changed on the 30th-century Legion Flight Ring? That the Justice League forgets Booster exists? That Skeets has gone missing? That in one story Booster Gold is wearing his 1980s collar and in the other story he isn't? A little less ambiguity would be helpful, please; I can only think so much.

You'll note that this doesn't actually say that Booster Gold will be in Superman #28, but it almost does. So I think Booster boosters should be prepared to pick up Superman #28 when it comes out on July 23.

New Old Release: DC Events Zero Hour

Are you too young to remember 1994? If so, DC has the book for you this week! DC Finest: Events: Zero Hour: Crisis in Time, Part Two collects the second half of that summer's giant crossover event that reset the timeline of the DC Universe. Most importantly for Booster boosters, that includes Zero Hour #2, #1, and #0. (Yes, the five-issue series counted backwards, a gimmick DC would reuse a decade later for Countdown / Countdown to Final Crisis.)

Also, Booster Gold was in an ad for All In Saga in the print edition (but not the digital release) of this past weekend's DC All In 2025 FCBD Special Edition. I did not pick up a copy for myself (oops), so I'm hoping it will show up again in this week's books. (Otherwise, if any Booster booster can get me a scan of that page, please get in touch.)
