Booster Gold, the Total Package
In addition to being a good source for publisher news and great deals on comics and art, comic book conventions are a great place for fans to get together with other fans and creators and celebrate their heroes. Sometimes, fans go so far as to dress as those heroes. This can lead to awkward situations.

The above autobiographical strip by artist and last week's Boston Comic Convention attendee Erica Henderson illustrates a significant reason why many of us can't, won't, or shouldn't dress like our favorite super heroes in our daily lives. There is a lot of truth in this cartoon.
One of these things is not like the other. The Booster Gold cosplayer on the left won the award for "Best Comic Book Hero Costume Honorable Mention" at BCC 2012. It's a great costume, even if it does suffer from a case of the unmentionables. If nothing else, it reminds us why Booster Gold must look different on television than he does in the comics. That is, unless they can find an actor who is really willing to sacrifice a part of himself for the role.

Giving Thanks for Beefcake
Happy Thanksgiving. Take your time, enjoy your meal. Let Booster Gold take care of the dishes.
Artist Erica Henderson hints that she wants to do a 2013 DC beefcake calendar on her blog I Fail At Life, That's Why I Became An Artist. That sounds like something we can give thanks for.

A Question for the Ladies: Is Booster Hot?
Booster sure thinks he is. But a better question is whether his audience thinks so. After yesterday's beach pic, it's only natural to ask if you find Booster Gold attractive.
Yes, he is a comic book character, and his personal appearance varies widely from artist to artist. But he is always young and blond and has a quarterback's physique. Booster is also always charming, funny, and even pretty smart. On the flip side, he's often flippant, selfish, and kind of a cad, at least publicly. Do all of Booster's qualities sum to a turn-on or a turn-off?
Today's Boosterrific Poll has gone Cosmopolitan and is specifically tied to this question, so speak up. I know I specifically asked the ladies, but if you're a guy, you can vote, too; there's no wrong answer here. Inquiring minds just want to know.

I Am Living Proof. Beefcake!
Since SallyP scooped me by including Booster Gold's topless exercise routine from Booster Gold, Vol. 1, #18 in her beefcake roll call yesterday, for Boosterrific's final installment in her Green Lantern's Butt Forever's Beefcake Week, I give you not Booster Gold but Supernova:

New Releases: Booster Gold & Generation Lost
After a one day delay thanks to the extended Labor Day weekend, Booster Gold, Volume 2, #36 (found here, here, and here in their chronological order of Booster appearances within the issue) and Justice League: Generation Lost #9 are scheduled to hit stands today. Buy them both and make Skeets happy.
UPDATE: People, read JL:GL first, Booster Gold second. Trust me, it will make more sense. (I swear that they are trying to make the chronology of Booster's adventures as complicated as possible for the only person on the planet who is trying to keep them in order: me.)
Meanwhile, in the continuing adventures of Beefcake Gold:
