Booster Gold Saves Multiverse in Convergence?

I support Booster Gold wherever he appears. I'm glad to see that most of you do, too.

Last week's poll question: Are you planning on buying Justice League 3000 #12? (49 votes)

Are you planning on buying <em>Justice League 3000</em> #12?

Perhaps you noticed earlier this week when Entertainment Weekly broke the news that Booster Gold was getting his own Convergence crossover mini-series (penned by Dan Jurgens, as many expected). But did you see the cover?

That's right, it's Skeets! Finally, Booster's robot sidekick makes it to the New 52. Like everyone else. Skeets also gets a New 52 makeover.

Being Thankful For 2014

That's a pretty even split among the options. I hope we get real answers sooner rather than later.

Last week's poll question: How does the announcement that Dan Jurgens will be writing the Superman mini-series during Convergence impact Booster Gold? (47 votes)

How does the announcement that Dan Jurgens will be writing the <em>Superman</em> mini-series during <em>Convergence</em> impact Booster Gold?

As for today's poll, I asked a very similar question last year. Let's see if time has changed anything.

Convergence Wave 2 Reunites the JLI

Blastr.com has some of the solicitations for the second wave of Convergence minis, and it looks like there's at least one that will include Booster Gold:

JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL
(Writer: Ron Marz; Artist: Mike Manley, with color by Sotocolor)
The levity of the JLI team collides with the severity of the world of Kingdom Come.

I didn't include the pic from the solicitation — you can see it at Blastr.com — specifically because it doesn't include Booster Gold. For that matter, neither does the solicitation text. But DC can't revisit the JLI without including Booster Gold, can they?

For those of you too young to remember, Ron Marz never actually wrote a single issue of Justice League International. Most of us know Marz as the man who turned Green Lantern Hal Jordan into the villain Parallax and introduced his replacement, Kyle Rayner. It should be interesting to see Marz's take on the signature stylings of Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis.

Whatever Happened to the Man of Gold?

The fans have spoken! You want better tracking of alternate continuities, and I agree. Once I have modified the Boosterrific database to be able to track such things, I'll go back and reclassify each issue according to continuity and chronology within that continuity. I'll change the individual book listings to link within those continuities and also build new pages to output the new lists. That probably sounds like more work than it is, but I'd still better get cracking if I want to have that done in time for Convergence in April! (You know, having too much Booster Gold to track is a good problem to have.)

Last week's poll question: How should Boosterrific.com handle continuity of appearances? (53 votes)

How should Boosterrific.com handle continuity of appearances?

If you aren't aware, DC has announced the first 10 of their 2-part mini-series replacing their regular titles in April/May. (See the list on ComicBookResources.com.)

The good news is that most of these stories take place in the DCU abandoned after Flashpoint. The bad news is that there has yet to be any mention of Booster Gold. Dan Jurgens, Booster's creator and the writer of Booster Gold: Futures End #1, has already been announced as the writer for Superman. Where does that leave our hero?
