Thanks to the highly unscientific Boosterrific.com poll, I think we can be reasonably sure that the Chip Kidd "Variant" is going to be the rarer (read: more expensive) cover in years to come.

Last week's poll question: Which cover for Convergence: Booster Gold #1 did you buy? (51 votes)

Over in the Boosterrific.com Forum, Morgenstern has brought it to our attention that Dan DiDio has said that one Convergence mini-series will "definitely continue on, but in a new setting." Matt SantoriGriffith (@FotoClub) wondered whether it might be Booster Gold.

"@FotoCub Booster is a little too obvious, don't you think?"

So what Booster Gold fans to make of that?

I've spent liberally during the first wave of these Convergence minis, but I've been keeping a list of which titles I'll be buying a second issue to. It's a very short list.

DC is in love with the variant cover these days. It must work to bring in higher sales numbers, otherwise why go through the trouble?

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

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?

Available today:

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.)
