If even die-hard Booster Gold fans won't buy comics just because Booster Gold is on the cover, who will?

Last week's poll question: Will you buy a comic just because Booster Gold is on the cover? (54 votes)

Convergence seems to be all about DC's version of Secret Wars, so which versions of Booster Gold do we want to see meet one another?

For reference, these are the Boosters I'm talking about:

• The Alliance Booster Gold seen in Justice League America Annual #10 (1996)
  
• Justice Riders Booster Gold (1997)
  
• "Greatest Story Never Told" Booster Gold from Justice League Unlimited (2004)
  
• Black Booster Gold from Tangent: Superman's Reign (2008)
  
• Live-action Booster Gold from Smallville (2011)
  
• Rooster Gold (2014) of Earth-C-Minus

If you couldn't tell from the "Movie Poster Variants" on shelves this month, DC has fallen in love with variant covers. (DC may be celebrating the 80s with Convergence, but their marketing strategy is clearly from the 90s.) But do all these alternate covers that have nothing to do with contents work to sell more comics?

If you visit your Local Comic Shop, ask for the Justice League Dark #40 "Movie Poster Variant" edition.

I don't expect Booster Gold to be in the book, but I'm satisfied to find him on the book. (It's becoming a trend at DC.)

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.

To no one's great surprise, the Most Viewed Post at Boosterrific.com in the past 12 months was the return of Booster Gold in his own, self-titled one-shot in September:

It was good to see so many people excited about Booster Gold: Futures End #1 after a several-year hiatus for our hero. I look forward to continuing that momentum with his two issue Convergence tie-in miniseries in 2015.

Thanks for a good 2014, Booster Boosters. Let's make 2015 shine!
