Can you believe that DC K.O. #1 came out 6 weeks ago? And we're still a week away from issue #2. For an event that's only supposed to be five issues/six months long, it sure is taking its own sweet time to get going.

In the meantime, Booster's reported appearance in that exclusive DC Universe Infinite DC Go! Aquaman comic has now spread to episode 20, released on Tuesday.

I've got no reason to believe Booster will be in any of this week's releases, and since DC is saving Booster Gold fans so much money on new releases, we're running out of excuses not to subscribe to DC Universe Infinite Ultra. (I don't really want to read yet another Elseworlds story about pirates. But my resolve is starting to weaken.)

Booster boosters Rob Snow and Pigeon both wrote to tell me that Booster Gold and Skeets have been sighted in DC Go!'s Aquaman: Yo-Ho-Hold Onto Your Hook!. Rob even gave me a couple of images he found on X.

I, for various reasons, am not on X, but I believe, based on the other screenshot that Rob sent me of an X post by Josh Trujillo, that the Booster and Skeets seen above are in issue #19 released to Ultra members of dcuniverseinfinte.com on November 11.

X will not let me search its content without an account, but from what Rob and Pigeon have told me plus a little old fashioned Google sleuthing, I am under the impression that the above character turnaround was drawn by Bradley Clayton, who is one of several artists that the DC Universe Infinite credits on that issue.

However, for slightly different reasons, I also do not have a DC Universe Infinite Ultra account, which is required to actually read that issue. (I read free issue #1. Reminded me of One Piece. Is that the target audience: people who can't get enough One Piece?) So I'm just going to have to assume that reliable Rob and dependable Pigeon aren't pulling my leg with one of those elaborate AI ruses that seem to be everywhere these days.

If anyone reading this does have an Ultra account, can confirm that Booster Gold is in Aquaman: Yo-Ho-Hold Onto Your Hook! #19, and wants to send me a screenshot of the title and credits page of that issue, I'll add the issue (with credit to the treasure hunter who brings me this bounty) to the Boosterrific! Database.

Thanks to Rob and Pigeon for their eternal vigilance, especially in this age of pirates.

When I started this website to track all adventures of the superhero Booster Gold, I didn't think I was going to have to spend so much time typing about vampires. I mean, I thought Blue and Gold had defeated the DCU's last vampire in 1989 (in the "immortal" Justice League International #25).

But who can predict the future? (Especially in the DCU. Its reboots have reboots.)

Anyway, DC Vs. Vampires: All-Out War #2 is at your Local Comic Shop now. Booster Gold is definitely in it, as you can see in the preview at AIPT.com.

Booster's also on the cover. One of them, anyway. As noted back in May, Booster is prominently featured on the 1:25 James Stokoe retailer incentive variant cover. You might have to find that one on eBay.

But wait! There's more!

Booster booster Logan Peterson dropped me a line to say, "it looks like Booster appears in this week's Aquaman and the Flash: Voidsong #3." On page 30, to be specific.

That is not an appearance I would have spotted without assistance, Logan. Thank you!

Buy a Booster Gold comic and make Skeets happy.

The solicitation for Heroes in Crisis #9 is out. It looks like Booster Gold will finally be on one of the Ryan Sook variant covers. Sook has created a cover for each issue of the series, each showcasing a key "traumatic" moment of a hero's (or villain's) career.

As a reminder, here are the 8 Sook covers that have been revealed so far. (His cover for issue 7 remains a secret.)

Is the suggestion that it was Harley who took all these photos for the Sanctuary files? Maybe we'll find out in Heroes in Crisis #9. Here's the full solicitation text with an appropriate spoiler warning:

HEROES IN CRISIS #9

Logan Peterson has called me out on my failure to mention that in addition to Heroes in Crisis #3, Booster Gold also appeared last week in two additional comics!

First was Aquaman/Justice League: Drowned Earth Special #1, where our hero can bee seen among the Leaguers admiring the new Aquaman statue.

Second, Booster is barely visible on the dance floor in the story "The Birds of Christmas Past, Present, and Future" in DC Nuclear Winter Special #1.

As you can see, both were cameo appearances rather than the starring role Booster has in HiC, but any Booster is good Booster! Thanks, Logan.
