New Releases: DC K.O. Rounds Four and Five
Over the weekend, my good friend Mike Foster was not particularly sympathetic to my displeasure at how DC has been treating Booster Gold. He reminded me that DC turned his favorite character, Hal Jordan, into a mass murdering super villain before killing him off for several years in the 1990s.
Which is to say that even if you're just talking about comic book storylines, whenever you think you have it pretty bad, it's worth remembering that there's probably somebody else who has it worse.
Speaking of traumatic events, tomorrow we should expect to find Darkseid wearing Booster Gold's skin in brief "watchtower interludes" during rounds four and five of the DC King Omega tournament in Titans #30 (Cyborg vs. Swamp Thing) and DC K.O. Harley Quinn vs. Zatanna #1, respectively.
So read those if you want to. Meanwhile, I'll count my blessings that Warner Brothers' 2011 dud Green Lantern movie wasn't about Booster Gold.

Hide and Go Seek
Judging by the decline in emails and comments received since September, it seemed to me that Boosterrific.com must be receiving fewer visitors lately. But the analytics tell a different story: visits are actually up. I wonder if the current DC K.O. event isn't responsible for both driving new readers to learn a little more about Booster Gold while driving existing Booster Gold fans to duck and cover until Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson's string of degradations to our hero finally blows over.
Whomever your eyeballs belong to, thanks for reading.
Now, who wants to play "Where will we see Booster Gold next"?
The way Booster's skinsuit appeared at the end of last week's DC K.O. Superman vs Captain Atom #1 has me expecting Booster to show up and throw a different character out of a window at the end of each round of the current "DC K.O. All Fight Month." This week sees Round Two (versus Hawkman) in Aquaman #12 and Round Three in Wonder Woman vs. Lobo #1.
If anyone spots Booster Gold (or a reasonable facsimile) there or elsewhere, please let me know.
UPDATE: Yep. "Booster" is in a couple of pages of both. Which means he'll have 2 pages in all of the superhero death matches. And this really might be the breaking point at which I will stop buying all comics with Booster Gold in then. As my Local Comic Shop Guy-turned-therapist said to me today, "We've really got to get you out of this abusive relationship with DC." When your pusher says you've had enough, maybe it's time to listen.

Tis the Season
True story: I walked into my Local Comic Shop today and asked for DC K.O.: Superman vs. Captain Atom #1.
"We sold out," said the man behind the counter. "Why? Is Booster Gold in it?"
"Yes," I said. "Last two pages. DC is going to get me to spend five dollars for two pages of panels of Darkseid wearing Booster Gold's skin and murdering people."
Said the resident Superman fan employee standing behind me, "I'll be happy to tear the last two pages out of my copy and give them to you. I'm already sick of this event. I think someone should take Joshua Williamson out behind the woodshed and Old Yeller him so I can have my Superman back."
Now, that Superman fan happens to be about three decades younger than I am, and he was raised on the New 52. We don't often see eye to eye about most comic book stories.
But I thought it is kind of nice that DC's ongoing torture porn is uniting fans of all characters. That's the Spirit of Christmas! Thanks, DC.

Ghosts of Christmas Past and Future
Tuesday already? Let's look over the weekly ship list here... Hmm. Looks like if Booster Gold will be anywhere this week, it'll be the DC K.O. Superman vs Captain Atom #1 one shot. If anyone spots Booster there, please let me know.
UPDATE: Yeah, he's in there. And the way he's in there leads me to believe he's going to be in all of these one shots. <sarcasm>Great</sarcasm>.
Meanwhile, DC Universe Infinite has adapted the Booster Gold story "Twas the Night" into vertical smartphone scrolling format as DC Go! Holiday Special 2025 #9. (This story was originally released in 2020 in the DC's Very Merry Multiverse #1 anthology.) You can re-read it now for free at at dcuniverseinfinite.com.

New Release: DC K.O. 2
Today you'll find DC K.O. #2 at your Local Comic Shop. As a reminder, this was the last panel in issue one:
Since it's already over and Darkseid has obviously won, why is there a second issue?
UPDATE: Booster Gold also appears (briefly) in Superman #32.
SECOND UPDATE: I've read them now, and I'm frankly amazed that DC keeps finding new ways to make the All In era, now in its second year, less enjoyable. Great job, everyone.
