This Day in History: Cameos Everywhere

New comics released on January 22, 2020:

Superman, Vol. 5, #19

Batman Superman, Vol. 1, #6

Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen, Vol. 1, #2

Booster Gold had small parts in those, and, as you can read in the Boosterrific Blog post for that day, they were mostly unexpected. But at least he had a part.

Turns out that it's easier to make surprise cameo appearances in other characters' books when you actually exist in their shared universe.

This Day in History: Peak Chromium Age

Released on July 19, 1994: Zero Hour: Crisis in Time #3.

In hindsight, looking at the costume designs in this comic, maybe the reason that time was collapsing on itself in this crisis event was because the DCU had gotten as "Extreme" as any one timeline could stand.

This Day in History: Blackest Night

Released on July 15, 2009: Blackest Night #1.

© DC Comics

Blackest Night is a story about heroes coming back from the dead, but it would take the "rebirth" of the entire DCU (in 2016's appropriately named DC Universe Rebirth #1) to actually bring Ted Kord back to life.

This Day in History: Boosting a(nother) Time Machine

If there's one thing that Booster Gold loves, it's stealing time machines from Rip Hunter.

On this date in 1990, Booster Gold makes a 2-page cameo appearance in Time Masters #4 just so that he can help Animal Man get his hands on one of Hunter's prototypes.

To be fair to Booster, he didn't actually know he was stealing this one. Animal Man lied about reimbursing Rip from Justice League coffers for the totally understandable personal reason that he wanted to travel back in time to save his family from being murdered. Who wouldn't do the same? (For more details on how that goes, read Animal Man #22. Spoilers: not well.)
