The last time I ran one of these "New Release" warnings was over two months ago. It's good to have Booster Gold back in print, even in a small part in today's All-Star Western #28.

You can catch a preview of the issue over at Ain't It Cool News, but to see Booster Gold, you'll have to go to Comixology or your Local Comic Shop.

Buy this issue if you ever want to see Skeets again!

Tomorrow, Booster Gold is promised to return to the DCnU in All-Star Western #28. This will end the Booster Gold drought at 244 days. To put that in perspective: the 3 longest stretches without Booster Gold appearing in a DCU-continuity book:

1. 336 days between Superman #124 and Chase #4 (Apr. 1997 to Mar. 1998)
2. 302 days between Martian Manhunter #24 and JLA: Our Worlds At War (Sept. 2000 to July 2001)
3. 244 days between All Star Western #21 and All Star Western #28 (June 2013 to February 2014)

Where will Booster appear next? Who knows. The counter resets tomorrow, but we really need to get our hero in books more often than once a year!

Boosterphile Chris Aguinaldo was the first to tell me that All-Star Western writer Jimmy Palmiotti spilled the big news about his planned guest star in "Palmiotti Brings Superman to 'All-Star Western'."

CBR News: Although Superman's the character featured alongside Jonah on the cover, perhaps the bigger event was Gina bringing Jonah to the museum exhibiting his body. What was your process for designing the exhibit? The faux comic book covers were an especially nice touch.

Palmiotti: We thought it would be cool for Jonah to see the impact he made in his life -- good or bad, real or not, and have him process [the information]. The items in the exhibit are specific, and the actual stuffed Jonah is from a story originally told in the classic "Jonah Hex Spectacular," where we theoretically witness the end of Jonah's life. We have scrutinized that issue and plan on coming back to it later once the story moves from the current location. And, yes, Booster Gold will be in Issue 28 for those that love the character. Things will be moving quickly.

So, to recap: BOOSTER GOLD WILL BE IN ALL-STAR WESTERN #28!

The book will be released on February 26. You can read more about what to expect in the issue in Steve Sunu's full interview at ComicBookResources.com.

Thanks to Chris for spreading the good word.

Given the drought of Booster Gold appearances in 2013, there really couldn't be anything else here in first place for most viewed posts for 2013. From April 15, 2013:

At the time that DC released this cover, we had no idea that this story would be Booster's only appearance in the DCnU in 2013. Here's hoping we get more Booster Gold in 2014!

In Smallville: Season 11, Booster Gold acted like a heroic criminal. In All-Star Western, Booster Gold acted like a heroic imbecile. Neither was ideal for Booster fans, but at least Smallville had Skeets!

Last week's poll question: Were you more satisfied with Booster Gold's 3-issue appearance in All-Star Western or Smallville Season 11? (41 votes)

Summertime means Comic Con. Comic Con means big news. What are the chances that some of that big news will be about Booster Gold?

This week's poll question: Do you expect to hear big Booster Gold news out of Comic Con 2013?

[UPDATE 2013-07-21: This poll has been closed early to coincide with the end of Comic-Con International.]
