February 29 is Superman's birthday. Naturally, anything that is good for Superman is anathema to Booster Gold, so it should come as no surprise that Booster has never appeared in a comic released on February 29. And after today, he still might not have.

DC released preview art for DC Universe Online Legends #24 last week on The Source that mentions -- but does not show -- our hero. It also implies that we will not be seeing our hero... ever again. (At least in the alternate continuity of the DCU Online video game.)

So does Booster finally get his Leap Year on or not? Buy this issue and let Skeets know if he should start collecting unemployment.

What do you do if you, like Booster Gold, literally have women beating down your door?

Booster, you smooth talker, you.

While Booster Gold's victory over Maxwell Lord may have been short lived, it certainly seems to have struck a chord with our voters. Let's hope that Booster will get to have a showdown with his old frenemy one day in the DCnU.

Last week's poll question: What was the highlight of 2011 for Booster Gold? (38 votes)

Beginning next week, polls will be moving to Thursdays from their customary Fridays. Adjust your calendars appropriately. Since that means that this week's poll will run for 6 instead of the customary 7 days, let's keep it simple: this is the Best Booster Book Championship!

Wow. It's a Christmas Miracle: this poll had 4 times as many votes as any other poll has ever received. (That's a response too good to be true. It looks like I'll be spending Christmas weekend working on better poll scripts!) Given the apparent demand, maybe original Dan Jurgens artwork needs to be sold by the panel.

Last week's poll question: Which present would you most prefer receive for Christmas? (168 votes)

Coming to the end of the calendar means that it's time to look back at the year that was. For Booster Gold, 2011 was a pretty eventful year. Booster was prominently featured as a major character in 4 different titles, participated in a unique tie-in to the crossover event of the year, and survived the reboot to lead the reimagined Justice League International. He even appeared in both animated and live action television shows. Quite an impressive list for a character still widely considered a b-list hero. Here's hoping Booster doesn't rest on his laurels in 2012.

The winner of last week's poll, 52 Week 15, trounced the competition by a wide margin. I'm sure no one voted for that issue because we saw Booster Gold's corpse, right?

Last week's poll question: What is the best single comic book that features Booster Gold (Boosterrific edition)? (38 votes)

I have another follow-up poll for this series that I'll run next year. First, let's take the time to properly celebrate the holiday season the traditional way: by thinking about what we want other people to give us.
