There's no sign that Booster Gold will be in any of the new comics coming to your Local Comic Shop this week, but he will be in one of the older ones, specifically the reprint collection Batman/Superman: World's Finest Volume 4: Return to Kingdom Come.

If you are enjoying Absolute Power, I can safely say you'll like Batman/Superman: World's Finest. It's the same creative team, and they're old hands at handling "big" stories. (Which is why some of us feel Absolute Power should have been four issues of that title instead of a badly-bloated standalone event that exists only to launch a new series of alternate reality comics. But some of us are just grumpy old malcontents.)

Now, I don't want to lead you on. The Booster Gold in Batman/Superman: World's Finest Volume 4: Return to Kingdom Come is not our familiar Booster Gold, but the Booster Gold from Earth-22, and he's not exactly integral to the story. In fact, he appears on exactly 4 panels. Still, some Booster Gold is better than no Booster Gold, right?

Ok, so Booster Gold can't be seen anywhere in Absolute Power #2. But that's not the only place you won't find our hero!

As reported by BleedingCool.com and other sources, earlier this week X.com user romaa_0905 asked director James Gunn whether Booster Gold will appear in his upcoming Superman movie. Gunn's answer?

"No."

Great! Now I don't have to watch Superman. Thanks, James!

However, Booster booster Rob Snow reports that elsewhere on X, via DCOfficial to be precise, it appears we are getting confirmation that Booster Gold will definitely be in next month's DC All-In Special #1.

Technically, the post I've linked to above is promoting the "Justice League membership cards" DC (via Lunar Distribution) is distributing to comic shops to promote Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and... Darkseid(???) in October. For more information about that story and when you can get your own copy of those cards, visit thepopverse.com.

But don't be distracted by the shiny card. The important takeaway here is that Booster Gold will definitely be seen in the DC All-In Special when it comes to your Local Comic Shop on October 2. Thanks, Rob!

When we last saw our hero in Absolute Power #2, he was caught up in the Brainiac Queen's attack on Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Did he get away safely? The suspense is killing me!

Unfortunately for my ulcers, Booster Gold is not seen in the preview available at aiptcomics.com for today's Absolute Power #3. But Blue Beetle is! And so are most of the other heroes last seen in Absolute Power#2.

If Beetle is free, Booster can't be too far away. (If he's on Themyscira, he's probably busy off panel hitting on Wonder Woman again. Some things are just more important than defeating another fascist would-be world dictator.)

Consider buying this issue and making Skeets happy.

AIPTComics.com has the preview of today's Absolute Power #2, and as you can see below, Booster Gold is pictured on page 2:

Will he be seen on any other pages? Will he have a line of dialogue? There's only one way to find out!

Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

(Thanks to Rob Snow for drawing this to our attention.)
