Judging by how many people wrote to tell me about this, I assume most of you already know. But for posterity's sake, this was in the DC Solicitations for September 2025:

SUPERMAN #30
Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON
Art and cover by DAN MORA
$4.99 US | 32 pages | ON SALE 9/24/25

Superman has found the mysterious hero known as Booster Gold. Together, they must return to the present day to warn the Justice League, but Darkseid’s Legion stands in the way. The shocking events of this issue lead into next month’s massive next chapter in the all in saga!!

We already had reason to believe that Booster would be seen in Superman #28 in July, when this storyline begins. Should we also expect to see our hero in Superman #29? I guess we'll know in August.

It should be noted that DC has also solicited for The Human Target: The Deluxe Edition hardcover, which we already know includes Booster Gold, so we can keep an eye out for that this November.

You can read these and all the other solicitations at AIPTComics.com.

Thanks to all who made sure I didn't miss this.

In addition to last week's August solicitations, a couple of Booster boosters also made sure I saw a recently revealed variant cover to a comic coming much sooner. Specifically, this $4.99 Lucas Meyer card stock variant cover for Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #1:

See the Blue and Gold corgis there in the top left? SLW calls it a "Booster cameo as a corgi" while pigeon described "a corgi dressed as Booster." So which is it?

You might think that's a stupid question, but in Wonder Woman #9, the Super Sons were turned into corgis by Circe. So is this more of that? Or is this an imaginary story? Or is this just a dog Trick-or-Treating as Booster Gold?

Judging by the preview pages at icv2.com, these corgis are the Justice Leaguers of a doomed alternate Earth during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Because things like those have to exist somewhere in an infinite Multiverse. (And yeah, although Booster Gold famously didn't exist in the DCU until after Crisis, somewhere in an infinite Multiverse, he did. That's what "infinite" means.)

Thanks to all who brought this to my attention.

DC released its monthly solicitations for August late last week, and Booster Gold (and Skeets!) was seen again, this time on the $9.99 variant Scott Koblish wraparound cover for New History of the DC Universe #3.

(I'm a little embarrassed to admit how many of these characters I can name on sight.)

NEW HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #3
Written by MARK WAID
Art by DOUG MAHNKE and DAN JURGENS
Legacy variant cover by SCOTT KOBLISH
$5.99 US | 48 pages | 3 of 4 | Wraparound variant $9.99 US (card stock)
ON SALE 8/27/25

Following the cataclysmic events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the DC Universe is forever changed. Torches are passed as legacy heroes like Wally West embrace the mantles of their predecessors, heroes like Hal Jordan are tempted by darkness, and the Justice League faces formidable new threats such as Doomsday, Black Hand, and Superboy-Prime. Narrator Barry Allen recaps these events through his return, ending with the cataclysmic Flashpoint!

Given that this issue is focused entirely on events that took place between Crisis on Infinite Earths and Flashpoint (a period of time in which its narrator, Barry Allen, was *ahem* dead), plus that fact that Dan Jurgens credited on art, I think it's very, very likely that Booster will also be seen between the covers as well.

Also in the solicitations is a third volume of Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle reprints, which will include all of Jaime's backup stories from Booster Gold volume 2 and, importantly for Booster boosters, his Blackest Night team-up with Booster Gold against... Dead Ted! (As originally presented in Booster Gold Volume 2 #26 and #27.)

A complete list of August solicitations can be found at AIPTcomics.com. Thanks to all who made sure I saw these.

Today's the day to head to your Local Comic Shop to pick up Action Comics #1076 Cover E "McFarlane Toys Card Stock Variant"! You know, the one with a Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figure on it.

It was the Blot who first pointed out this cover to us. No coincidence that it was also the Blot who ordered a whole case of Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figures.

If there is one flaw with those Booster Gold DC Super Powers action figures, it's that it doesn't come with Skeets. Well, Blot has found a solution for that, too.

There’s a guy on Etsy making awesome 3D printed accessories for McFarlane Toys' Super Powers toy line. He just made a Skeets that attaches to the back of Booster's neck (sort of how capes go on). He sells a painted and unpainted version. Got mine yesterday and it's fantastic! Pics of mine below.

The seller is NerdCandyStore, and you can visit their store on Etsy.com.

Thanks for the find, Blot.

The Blot got in touch this weekend to say, well, this:

Hey! Check out this McFarlane Toys Super Powers variant cover to Action Comics #1076 featuring the latest Booster Gold action figure. Kinda crazy. Just learned about it.

Good find, Blot!

According to the original DC Comics November 2024 solicitation, Action Comics #1076 will have six different covers: Cover A, two artist variants, a Creature Commandos variant, a McFarlane Toys variant, and a 1:25 retailer incentive variant. As we now know, this is the McFarlane Toys one of those.

DC's distributor, Lunar Distribution, has this listed as a "ACTION COMICS #1076 CVR E MCFARLANE TOYS CARD STOCK VAR" with cover price of $5.99. The book will be released on November 20, but If you want it, be sure to tell your Local Comic Shop today, as today is the Final Order Cut-off deadline for orders.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Blot.
