New Release: Jimmy Olsen's SuperCyclopedia

While I was busy trying to have a good time on April Fool's Day, DC was trying to sneak a new Booster Gold appearance by me! Fortunately for all of us, SLW was paying attention and spotted our hero (and Blue Beetle) in this week's Jimmy Olsen's SuperCyclopedia graphic novel.

The main events of Jimmy Olsen's SuperCyclopedia are aimed squarely at young readers, but there's plenty in this Multiversal story to entertain Old School DC fans. SLW liked reading about young Rip Hunter, while I got stoked seeing Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew back in action — with an explicit Oz/Wonderland War reference, no less!

Unfortunately, it seems that nothing herein takes place in the mainstream DC Universe of Earth-0 (or whatever we're supposed to be calling it these days), meaning this counts as an out-of-continuity Booster Gold appearance and doesn't disrupt the Missing In Action count at the top of the Boosterrific! Blog.

But I maintain that any Booster Gold is better than none, so let's all enjoy what we do get (even if it's not quite what we want).

Consider buying Jimmy Olsen's SuperCyclopedia. It'll make Skeets (and maybe you) happy!

This Date in History: Booster Gold Reappears

Booster Gold has been absent from comics for 147 days (21 weeks) and counting. That seems like a long time in part because DC keeps crowing about how inclusive their "All-In" initiative is, but Booster has been gone for much longer stretches before.

On this day in 2014, Booster Gold broke a 245 day absence from the DC New 52 Universe — at the time, the third longest recognized gap between published Booster Gold appearances in history — to make a brief 3-page supporting appearance as a deus ex machina plot device to get Jonah Hex returned to the past in All-Star Western #28.

If you don't recall, Booster's amnesiac misadventures alongside Jonah Hex in All-Star Western took place during the period he was unstuck in time leading to Convergence.

If the current Booster-drought streak were to extend to 245 days, that will be the first week in June 2025. Considering that we just learned Booster is unlikely to appear in any comics through May, that very well could be an optimistic assessment for his return from his current banishment from the DCU.

Keep your fingers crossed, Booster boosters.

Cheat Day

Today is the fifth Wednesday in January, which means that DC has a slate of one-shots coming, including the Valentine's Day-themed DC's Lex and the City and Black History Month-themed DC Power: Rise of the Power Company. I know I said I'm on strike from buying DC comics until Booster Gold comes back, and I sincerely doubt Booster will be in either of these, but books released during skip weeks don't count, right?

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.

New Old Release: Blue Beetle Volume 2

If you didn't pick up Blue Beetle #7 back in October 2023, now's your (second) chance as it is included in the collection Blue Beetle Volume 2: Forever Blue being released this week.

And that's all I have to say about that.
