I started last week stealing images from Twitter.com, and it turned out to be a pretty good week. Therefore, I'm going to conclude the week with more of the same.

This sketch is by Katie Cook, and was tweeted last week by Kristy (@codemonkey37). You can think of this post as superstition, as me being lazy, or as a continued celebration of Kristy's very good taste. Your choice.

There hasn't been a lot of Booster Gold news lately, but that hasn't stopped Vaneta Rogers from sifting through the bits and pieces we've heard to guess where we'll see our favorite hero reappear. She posts her theory in her article, "'Time' for Booster Gold's Return? We Read the Signs from DC." Part of that theory hinges on the return of Ted Kord:

After a passing reference to a company called "Kord Omniversal" at the start of Forever Evil, Geoff Johns finally announced here on Newsarama earlier this month that the end of Forever Evil in April would bring the first New 52 appearance of Ted Kord. And he'll play a role in Justice League post-Forever Evil.

So why does the promise of one character's introduction lead to thoughts of another?

Fans of Booster Gold call it "the Blue and the Gold" — the magical, oft-pairing of Booster and his former Justice League International teammate, Ted Kord. The two characters have a friendship that inspires loving laughter from their die-hard fans, and we guarantee that a reunion between the two characters would inspire fist-pumping — and sobbing — among DC fans worldwide.

If you followed those links, you saw that she links to this site as "fans of Booster Gold." That we are! Thanks, Vaneta!

Those three paragraphs are the most important (because they link here!) but if you want to know where Rogers thinks we'll see Booster next, you'll need to read her full article online at Newsarama.com.

(Thanks also to ctalbot2085 for linking to this article yesterday in the Boosterrific Forum.)

The final issue of Forever Evil comes out in April. April is three months away. Is there any chance we'll see a particular golden hero in that book?

Last week's poll question: When do you think we will see Booster Gold reappear in a DC comic book? (52 votes)

By now you've no doubt heard that Ted Kord is coming to the DCnU in Future's End #7 (as Vaneta Rogers reported at Newsarama.com last week). If Ted Kord is coming, could Booster Gold be far behind?

For the month of November, EvilGeeks.com spotlighted famous bromances in pop culture. They saved the best until nearly last, featuring Blue Beetle and Booster Gold on November 29.

Ted Kord was a timid genius and Jon Carter a boorish blowhard, but that didn't stop them from bonding on and off the job.

Personally, I wouldn't describe Booster as a "boorish blowhard," but I suspect that's largely a case of semantics. In any event, it's good to see the Blue and Gold highlighted alongside other famous bromances, like Woody and Buzz Lightyear, C3P0 and R2D2, and Holmes and Watson. That's some good company!

The older you get, the faster time seems to move.

It's been over 2 years and 2 months since the New 52 launched! And it's been 5 years to the day since DC collected Booster Gold Volume 2 #7 through #8 and #0 into the Booster Gold: Blue and Gold collected trade.

That means it has been more than five years since Booster brought Ted back through time travel. Now that I look back, I realize that it's been eight years since Countdown to Infinite Crisis #1! You think I'd be used to it by now, but no!

Man, I'm getting old.
