Rob Snow alerts me that Booster Gold is in today's Justice League Unlimited #18. And if you recall, two weeks ago, Tony alerted us that Booster Gold also appears in a background panel in today's Superman #37 (or "Legacy 879" if you've been collecting since 1939).

Now, I haven't yet seen the panels from JLU #18, but the Superman panel in question is included in the issue preview at BleedingCool.com, but the important part is this:

Hmm. That looks familiar. Where have I seen that before? Ah, yes, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #20, also drawn by Dan Mora.

I hope this means Mora will be sneaking Booster into the background of more comics. Keep your eyes peeled, Booster boosters!

Thanks, Rob and Tony.

Coming today to your Local Comic Shop is the long awaited Bruno Redondo ugly sweater variant of Justice League Unlimited #17.

But wait! There's more!

Rob Snow has alerted me that you can clearly see Booster Gold in the online preview at AIPTComics.com for Superman #36 (which they have mistakenly called issue number 38 despite the "36" plainly visible on the cover art. Ooops).

Yep, that's Booster, all right.

Pick up one or more of these issues and make Skeets happy.

Look, I'm just one guy. I miss things. Thankfully, you Booster boosters have my back.

Example 1: Rob Snow has brought to my attention that the latest edition of The DC Comics Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the DC Universe from DK/Penguin Random House is out, with returning entries for Booster Gold, Skeets, and several Blue Beetles. This latest 2026 edition also contains a new entry for Gold Beetle.

Thanks, Rob. The Boosterrific! Books list has been updated accordingly.

Example 2: FZ alerts me that the site has for years been overlooking the Booster Gold trading card included in the Mattel Justice League Unlimited action figures. It took quite a bit of online investigation to discover that there were 19 different cards in that set, distributed randomly among the figures, so you could get a Booster Gold card (featuring art from the greatest JLU episode, "The Greatest Story Never Told") with a Superman figure or vice versa.

Thanks, FZ. The Boosterrific! Trading Cards list has been updated accordingly.

Keep your eyes open, Booster boosters. Our hero is everywhere!

The full suite of DC's March 2026 solicitations should be released later today, but yesterday DC.com gave a first look at the "second phase of DC ALL IN" including releasing this Bruno Redondo Open To Order variant cover for Justice League Unlimited #17:

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #17
Written by MARK WAID, Art by CLAYTON HENRY, Variant cover by BRUNO REDONDO
$3.99 US | 32 pages | Variant $4.99 US (card stock)
ON SALE 3/25/26
In the aftermath of DC K.O., the Justice League has to work even harder to protect mankind—and that means it’s time for new blood to face new challenges! Who will join Wonder Woman and Batman to lead the new JLU?

In addition to that, AIPComics.com writes that Booster Gold will also be playing some part in the coming "Reign of the Superboys" storyline beginning March 11 in Action Comics #1096 (though it's not clear if Booster will be in that issue).

Maybe more will be revealed with the full set of solicitations.

UPDATE: And yes, it was. Booster Gold is on the Skylar Patridge Corner Box variant cover of Action Comics #1096. And that wrestling comic we first learned about back in November is DC X AEW #1, releasing on February 2, 2026. (Why wasn't it in last month's solicitations?) All of which means there will be a whole bunch of Booster in comic shops next year.

You can see the full slate of solicitations and covers at AIPTComics.com.

Booster booster Steven writes

"Just listened to a podcast interview with Dan Jurgens about Booster Gold. It is the Justice League Revisited podcast with Susan Eisenberg & James Enstall. It is worth a listen."

Steven told me about that last week, and a quick Googling indicates he was talking about the episode released October 21, which they describe thusly:

Susan Eisenberg and James of Geek To Me Radio chat with the creator of Booster Gold, Dan Jurgens, to find out how he liked the Justice League Unlimited's take on his creation as we once again cover "The Greatest Story Never Told"... [which] originally aired on September 1, 2004.

You can find the podcast on several popular sites, including creators.spotify.com.

Despite being a big fan of both Jurgens and "The Greatest Story Never Told," I have to admit that I have not yet listened myself. But don't let my personal inability to find time to listen to an hour of talk radio stop you from tuning in.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Steven.
