Booster Gold and Blue Beetle in Convergence
While we can continue to debate what sort of "pivotal" role Booster Gold might be playing in Convergence, it certainly looks like we should expect to see him show up in Convergence: Justice League International.
Friday, Russ Burlingame put the question to Ron Marz (Mr. Pivotal himself) answered:
Burlingame: [I]s the fact that we already have a minimum of two Boosters running around being Time Masters limiting to what you can do with him [in Convergence Justice League International]?
Marz: Booster's dance card is pretty full in Convergence, but I think we'll find a way to sneak him in there. Everybody wants a Booster and Beetle moment.
We sure do! And it looks like we're going to get what we want!
You can find the whole conversation at ComicBook.com. (Thanks, Russ!)

Looking for Booster Gold
The fans have spoken! You like to see Booster Gold realizing his true potential. (Everybody enjoys a success story.)
Last week's poll question: Which is the quintessential incarnation of Booster Gold? (61 votes)
Yesterday, Convergence: Justice League International writer Ron Marz told Newsarama's Vaneta Rogers that Booster would be playing "a pivotal role in Convergence as a whole." What do you think that means? (You can read the whole Marz interview at Newsarama.com.)

So Which of These Titles Will Booster Be in?
I'm sure by now you've all noticed that DC announced it's post-Convergence line-up of titles on Friday. You may also have noticed that none of those titles appear to include Booster Gold. That's just an oversight, right?
It's hard to imagine that DC's first post-Crisis on Infinite Earths character isn't going to be around somewhere, especially with Dan Jurgens set to write two new series (Batman Beyond and Bat-Mite — which is a series I will definitely be investigating). Will some version of Booster still be in Justice League 3001? Fingers crossed.
If you want to see everything DC will be publishing after Convergence, Newsarama.com has the list.

Covering Convergence
According to PreviewsWorld.com, the website of the exclusive distributor of DC Comics in America, these are the two covers we should expect on Convergence: Booster Gold when it is released in April.
The image on the left (Dan Jurgens/Danny Miki) is the standard cover and the image on the right is the 1:1 "Chip Kidd" variant using art by Jason Fabok from Justice League International Annual #1. (You can read more about Chip Kidd's utilization of "pre-existing" art for his covers at IGN.com.)
So if those are the covers to Booster Gold's first issue, what is this the cover to?
That's the cover that accompanied Entertainment Weekly's December announcement of DC's Convergence plans. We now know it's not the cover to Convergence #1. Is it a cover to another issue in that series? Is it a cover for Convergence: Booster Gold #2? Has it been replaced? Is it interior art?
I guess we'll find out when we get closer to April, but in the meantime I'm already missing Skeets.

Will Booster Gold Play a Part in Convergence?
DC released solicitation summaries for the first month of Convergence titles last week.
CONVERGENCE: BOOSTER GOLD #1
Written by DAN JURGENS
Art by ALVARO MARTINEZ and RAUL FERNANDEZ
Cover by DAN JURGENS and DANNY MIKI
Variant cover designed by CHIP KIDD
On sale APRIL 29 • $3.99 US
STARRING HEROES FROM CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS! Trapped with Rip Hunter and other time travelers, Booster Gold and his future self must work together to get out of prison and off the planet.
I feel compelled to point out that Booster Gold never actually appeared in Crisis on Infinite Earths. As all Booster Gold fans know, Our Hero was the first DC character to debut in the post-Crisis universe. Will that be important to this two issue mini-series? Who knows.
It's also worth noting that Rip Hunter and the Time Masters get a name drop in the solicitation for Convergence #3, but Booster is nowhere to be seen in the solicitation for Convergence: Justice League International. It's hard to imagine a JLI without Booster Gold, so I'm sure that has to be an oversight. Right?
You can find a complete listing of April DC solicitations at Newsarama.com.
