The 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International kicks off this Thursday night. To get everyone in the mood as we count down the days to Friday's "Justice League" panel (which will hopefully contain some real news about the upcoming Justice League International series), let's take a look at some Booster Gold costumes that have appeared in just the last year.

What better way to start the week than with one of the latest fantastic fashions by Gina of Uncanny Adventures in Comic Costume Creations. This costume was worn to Wizard World Philadelphia 2011. It's hard to see in the above picture, but the star on that costume glows! (Follow the previous link to Gina's site for more details.)

We've met Gina before: she's responsible for that great costume featured here in the Boosterrific Blog back on January 20. Booster Gold is lucky to have such a fan.

DC has announced that Dan Jurgens will be joining Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, Eddie Berganza, JT Krul, Eric Wallace, Francis Manapul, Brian Buccellato, Philip Tan, and moderator Bob Wayne on the "Justice League" panel at the San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 22. It's just possible that some real news will come from this star-studded panel, but don't expect to discover who the mysterious disappearing woman on the cover of Justice League International #1 is. Some secrets man wasn't meant to know.

Do you know what else makes Skeets happy? Costumes! Comic-Con International 2010 starts tomorrow, and we're still showing our support.

This is not the best costume execution, but you've got to give this guy credit for attempting to get away with gold trackpants. Plus, he's got Skeets! Booster Gold at Comic Con 2007 photo by platypusofdoom as posted at flikr.com.
