I Prefer My Heroes to Wear Gold Pants
We've talked about it in the Boosterrific Blog comments and on the Boosterrific Forum. So I might as well put it here, too.
Yes, that's Booster Gold making his entrance in All-Star Western #28. And yes, other than the gauntlets and the bicep stripes (which do not appear in any other panel in the issue), he is clearly wearing his pre-Flashpoint costume.
The debate we're having is whether this was an accident on the part of artist Fabrizio Fiorentino, or if this was an intentional change to Booster's costume authorized by DC Editorial. I don't have the answer. What do you think?

New Release: All-Star Western #28
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!

It's about Time
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:
- 336 days between Superman #124 and Chase #4 (Apr. 1997 to Mar. 1998)
- 302 days between Martian Manhunter #24 and JLA: Our Worlds At War (Sept. 2000 to July 2001)
- 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!

Booster Gold Sighting
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.

Year in Review, Day 5
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!
