After months of waiting, DC's time cop Booster Gold will finally reappear in Futures End. More specifically, I should say on Futures End.

The cover to Futures End #25, drawn by Ryan Sook, was unveiled earlier this week on HitFix.com, many pre-Flashpoint characters are depicted, including Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) and Booster Gold. Booster wears his very first costume — defined by a pentagram star — as it appeared in Booster Gold Volume 1, #1 back in 1985.

Does this mean we'll see Booster in action inside the book? I guess we'll find out when it hits stands on October 22.

A few months back, a Booster Gold cosplayer sent me his pics with the Doctor's TARDIS. Another cosplayer has now contacted me with pics of her encounter with another, perhaps even more famous time machine.

This photo was taken at the Chicago ComicCon, where the Back to the Future DeLorean was promoting the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. A worthy prop for a worthy cause!

What pop-fiction time machines are left for Booster cosplayers to conquer? H.G. Welles Time Sled? The Time Tunnel? Bill and Ted's Phone Booth? The Guardian of Forever? Get cracking, convention goers; there's a universe of time machines out there for Booster Gold to pose with!

Herbert Fung emailed me a few weeks back with this cosplay pic he snapped at Calgary Comics & Entertainment Expo 2014 in April:

Thank you, Herbert. I still say the colors in that costume are more vibrant than in a comic book! (Check out those airbrushed abs!)

In related news, today is opening day of DragonCon in Atlanta, GA. There's always plenty of DC cosplayers at DragonCon, so here's fingers crossed that we'll see more Booster Gold cosplay pics maybe as soon as Tuesday. (Reminder: Monday is Labor Day, so no post.)

It's that time of year again when thousands of pop culture fans flood San Diego. That's right, it's time for Comic-Con!

The picture above of a gender-flipped JLI was taken by David "DTJAAAAM" Ngo at last year's Comic-Con. You can find more of Ngo's cosplay pics at his website, www.dtjaaaam.com. Who knows what his lens will find this year?

BONUS COMIC-CON coverage: Chris Hardwick gave Booster Gold some love earlier this week on Comedy Central's @Midnight!

Don't get too excited. It ain't ever special edition Booster Gold action figures. Hardwick — he of the Nerdist Podcast and The Talking Dead — was making a joke, not an official announcement. You're not missing any Booster Gold action figures at Comic-Con (unless we're talking about the new Lego Batman 3 trailer — more on that on Monday).

You can find the whole @Midnight episode online at cc.com. (Be warned. It's funny, but its got some salty language.)

Let's get this week started the right way: with cosplay!

Blue and Gold forever! ComicsAlliance.com found not one but two sets of Blue and Gold cosplayers last week at Charlotte's Heroes Con 2014. You can find larger image in their gallery here.

And while we're on the subject, I hope you didn't miss this unique cosplay that Osyrus posted in the Boosterrific Forum last week. It's a great costume that deserves some recognition.

Great job everybody.
