Brace yourself for the cute:

This adorable couple comes to you by way of "Ren" on www.pixiv.net (which is something like DeviantArt in Japanese).

Last week Francesco Francavilla, creator/artist of The Black Beetle (no, not that one), posted the following image on his Twitter feed:

These are dated 2007, so they pre-dated the New 52 but not Blue Beetle's death. If you ask me, 'twas better to have Blue Beetled and lost than to never have Blue Beetle at all.

You can find more art by Francesco Francavilla on his website, francescofrancavilla.com. And if you'd like more info about The Black Beetle (the other one), check out theblackbeetle.blogspot.com.

My high school reunion is tomorrow. I'm not going, and it's all Booster Gold's fault.

That's Booster Gold at Ted Kord's 15th high school reunion, as detailed in Justice League Quarterly #7. Unlike Booster Gold, I don't know any foreign supermodel/superheroes who would go as my dates. I also doubt that my reunion would be crashed by alien warlords. The only aspect that my reunion would share with this one is that there will definitely be dentists, car salesmen, and drunks in attendance.

Therefore, I'm going to stay at home and read comic books, just as I did on weekends in high school. That's gotten me where I am today, and I'm not complaining.

If Booster Gold really wants to be more famous than Superman, he's going to have to improve his rogues gallery. How about a Booster Goldmite?

Artist Adam Hicks imagines that Blue Beetle and Booster Gold would have their hands full with their childish offspring. I wonder if Booster will have this problem with Rip Hunter one day.

You can find more of Hicks' work under the pseudonym Gigatoast at Deviant Art.

No, I don't normally run Boostle posts, but this isn't a bromance, it's a fusion.

Artist Stark-liverbird at Deviant Art combined the costumes of Booster and Beetle (and Skeets and the Bug!) to create this "Booster Gold + Blue Beetle fusion." Could this be the Beetle Gold of Earth-2? Maybe I'm old-school, but I think those gold boy shorts are quintessentially super heroic.
