Your Local Comic Shop will be selling Action Comics #1101 tomorrow. It seems likely, based on how Action Comics #1100 ended, that Booster will be in there. We've got to get Booster back to the present to reunite with Skeets sooner or later, right?

But the three-page preview at AIPTComics.com gives no indication one way or the other.

I'll keep you posted.

The online preview of today's "landmark issue" Action Comics #1100 doesn't give any indication whether Booster Gold will be in this issue. I'll be buying it anyway, so I'll keep you posted.

The online preview also gives no indication whether Booster will be in today's Superman #40. Given how often he's sneaked his way into the background of recent issues, it's not impossible he'll show up there again sooner or later.

However, the online preview of today's Green Lantern #37 reveals that Booster Gold is definitely making an appearance in that issue, at least for a few panels:

Er, to be clear, that's Booster in the poster advertising Booster Boost energy drink, not the guy going to the door. Which is good. That guy isn't going to be around much longer. To see what I mean, read the preview at AIPTComics.com.

Buy one or more of these issues and make Skeets happy.

UPDATE: Break out your wallets, Booster boosters! Booster Gold appears in all 3 of these issues!

Superman: Action Comics by Dan Jurgens Omnibus Vol. 2 is now available at, well, I'm not sure exactly. Maybe your Local Comic Shop. More probably your Local Book Store. I mean, the thing is big, 736 pages big. With a $100 cover price, that comes out to just over 13¢ per page.

You'll be getting a lot of Booster Gold for your buck. This hardcover is advertised to reprint 29 comic books between Action Comics #976 and #1053 plus The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special.* Booster Gold appears in 9 of those. That's about 31% pure Gold. Enjoy!

*Technically, The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special isn't an Action comic. The "death" actually occurs in Superman #75, so if it was up to me, I'd have titled this Superman and Action Comics by Dan Jurgens Omnibus Vol. 2. But I'm sure they had their reasons; DC does love their colons.

DC Comics surprised yesterday with a Thursday announcement of books to be released in two months, and I'm happy to report that Booster Gold was indeed seen in the mix, specifically on the A cover of Action Comics #1102.

The remaining question is whether, as a Booster Gold collector, you can consider your comic collection complete if that's the only issue you buy in September.

See, in addition to Action Comics #1102, Artist Lucas Meyer also provides the A covers of Supergirl #17, Superman #42, and Superman Unlimited #17. They're all part of the "Kingdom of Zod" storyline, and those all link together to form a single quadriptych:

Does that mean they all count as a single image? If I buy only Action Comics #1102, am I'm missing 3/4 of what will likely be a single fold-out cover in the inevitable collected edition? Better to be safe than sorry, I guess.

Speaking of collected editions, the solicitations also announce that Superman: Action Comics: Vol. 2: Reign of the Superboys – Future Shock, collecting Action #1096 through #1100, should arrive in your Local Comic Shop just in time for your Black Friday shopping this November. Plan accordingly.

You can find more details for all the above issues as well as larger cover images at AIPTComics.com.

Booster Gold's adventures continue today in Action Comics #1099. This will be the fourth entry in Mark Waid's story taking three Super Buddies (Booster Gold, Martian Manhunter, Mary Marvel) back in time to have adventures with Superman-When-He-Was-A-Boy.

My favorite part of this series is learning just how much its artists look up to Booster Gold!

I like that everyone — sorry, Manhunter — almost everyone took the time out from saving Superman's history to get haircuts. You gotta look sharp for your moment in the spotlight.

Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

UPDATE: As you can read in the comments, pigeon and EJ have pointed out that Booster Gold (or at least a simulacrum of his costume) also appear in Justice League Dream Girls - A DC Pride Event #2 and Green Lantern Corps #17. Thanks for pointing those out!
