Booster Gold is *still* dead in Justice League America #90, so of course that calls for a new wardrobe!

Say what you will about the Campos/Branch art (and I have), but that's some great Dan Vado dialog!

As you recall, Booster Gold died in Justice League Task Force #13.

But, one week later in Justice League International #65...

Not even death can stop a real hero!

If you happened to watch the second episode of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe on HBO Max last week (as Shawn and Tony did), you might have seen this at about the 6 minute mark:

If you're very familiar with McFarlane Toys (as Shawn and Tony are), you'll recognize those out-of-focus yellow and blue blurs at the upper left are the 2022 McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Booster Gold & Blue Beetle 2-pack action figures. Mint in box, Stuart probably has them priced at $100 or more.

Stuart could certainly learn a thing or two about saving multiverses from those guys.

Give the set decorators credit: those Blue and Gold figures are just two of many DC Multiverse background references which hint at the thematically similar parallel universe-setting of this television series, which could just as easily have been called Crisis of Infinite Stuarts.

Thanks to Shawn and Tony for catching this.

Thing 1: For the last two months, Google Analytics has been telling me that the Boosterrific! Timeline, which is essentially an objective chronological timeline of significant events in the history of Booster Gold's time-traveling adventures, has become one of the site's most popular pages. That page has been part of this site for nearly two decades, and it surprises me that it's just now getting so much traffic (if Google Analytics can be trusted, which isn't always the case). I'm happy that someone is finding value in it, but seeing so many people (or web-crawling spiders) using it makes me wonder if I could improve it. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Thing 2: Over the weekend I noticed that over on Reddit, a user named Saboscrivner has posted a pair of postcard-sized sketches they recently acquired from Steve Lieber featuring the two inarguably best Justice League members:

This is actually the third Booster Gold headshot sketch I've featured by Steve Lieber since 2018 but the first not in Cort Carpenter's Booster Gold sketchbook. Thanks for sharing, Saboscrivner.

Last week, I picked my favorite page from Justice League America #83, so you might expect that this week I'd show a page from Justice League America #84. But I couldn't find one. I just don't think any of the pages in that issue are particularly great.

So let's skip ahead to the much better page 14 of Justice League America #85.

Hmm. "The Booster Gold Way." Someone should trademark that.
