Today you'll find All-In tie-ins Flash #30, Justice League Unlimited #16, and Superman #35. I have no idea if Booster Gold will be in any of them.

However, I do know from the preview at AIPTComics.com that Booster is in perhaps the last place I would have expected him: the Black History Month special New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1.

It just goes to show that you never know where Booster Gold will turn up next.

UPDATE: Yep, just NHotDCU this week.

I don't have any idea whether Booster Gold is going to be in either of the "DC K.O." tie-ins (Titans #31, DC K.O.: Green Lantern Galactic Slam) coming tomorrow, but I do know that he's in the New History of the DC Universe collected edition out today, and that's good enough for me.

If you're out to collect every Booster Gold comic book, DC is out to squeeze every possible penny out of you.

Case in point: this week's Superman #31. Excuse me. I mean the "Superman #31 Cover E Jorge Fornes Card Stock Variant (DC K.O.)." The standard cover is $4.99, but this variant's cover price is $5.99.

Booster Gold in a poncho? Is this a reference to A Fistful of Dollars or Back to the Future III? ("What idiot dressed you in that outfit?") We can at least be sure that Booster is in the book, at least as a mute background character, thanks to the preview at AIPTComics.com, but do we really think anything like this happens between the covers?

Second case in point: New History of the DC Universe #4. Excuse me. I mean the "New History of the DC Universe #4 (of 4) Cover E Ryan Sook Foil Variant." The standard cover is $5.99, but this variant's cover price is $9.99.

The preview for that issue does not show Booster Gold, so buyer beware.

To be clear: Although, yes, I will buy comics just because Booster Gold is in them and Booster Gold is on them, I do not make a habit of buying variants, especially ones with higher cover prices, and I cannot endorse such behavior in others. ("A man's got to know his limitations.") But if you've got enough money to cover your other needs and spending that money will not harm you, I trust you to judge for yourself whether to buy some commercially produced Booster Gold artwork. ("Go ahead, make your day.")

Pay attention, Booster boosters, as Booster Gold is in three different comics today!

Did I say "different"? According to Rob Snow, not so much. Apparently, while Booster Gold is in Justice League Unlimited #11, it's just the "last page splash panel. Same exact scene as the last page splash panel in Superman #30" that sets up next month's Justice League: The Omega Act.

You all already know my opinions on what's going on over in Superman, so that's all I have to say about those.

However, the third comic is New History of the DC Universe #3, which has been twice delayed past its original expected date August 27. Two delays are kind of fitting considering that Booster Gold and Skeets(!) are on two of its covers, one by Chris Samnee and the other by Scott Koblish. Both are really great. AIPTComics.com has a preview of the interior that confirms that Booster Gold and Skeets are inside, too.

Buy some comics and make Skeets happy! Thanks, Rob.
