Coming tomorrow to your Local Comic Shop: Action Comics #1097 with Booster Gold on (count 'em!) two separate covers!

The image on the left is "Cover A Ryan Sook." The image on the right is "Cover D Skyar Patridge Things to Come Card Stock Variant." Buy one or the other (or both!) and make Skeets happy (wherever he is).

Booster booster J has alerted me that Booster Gold is in the recently released Taste of Justice #20. But there's a catch:

I'm saying this based on the image on the webpage. I haven't actually read it, since DC stopped making Taste of Justice available for free.

J's right. Taste of Justice, previously a free read in the DC Go! line of webcomics, is now behind a paywall at dcuniverseinfinite.com. Just like Booster Gold's previously reported appearances in DC Go!'s Aquaman: Yo-Ho-Hold onto Your Hook, I can no longer confirm Booster's inclusion in DC's official web comics.

Yes, I could start paying $8 a month for access to these stories, but I'm not going to. For one thing, I've never much cared for comics made only of energy-dependent pixels that I cannot add to my long boxes. For another, has anyone seen the price of gas lately? I already pay too much for comics—I remember when DC raised cover prices to $1, and if young me could see what I'm paying now for an issue of Action Comics, he would have chosen an entirely different hobby. (My dad used to collect shark's teeth. The most expensive part about that was getting them out of the shark's mouths.)

All that said, if any Booster boosters want to send me screenshots confirming any future Booster Gold appearances in DC's digital exclusives, I'll be happy to update the Boosterrific! Database with appropriate information and credit.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, J.

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.

A Booster boosters know, alongside former AEW wrestler Excalibur, Booster Gold (and Skeets!) was a ring-side commentator for all the action in DC X AEW #1.

Given that DC X AEW is a two part mini-series, you might think Booster would play the same role in the second issue. And the good new is that he does, as you can read in the very first narrative box in DC X AEW #2:

Only... he must do it behind the scenes. That narrative box is the only mention of Booster Gold in the entire issue. Booster himself (and Skeets!) is neither seen nor heard.

So if you like wrasslin', go ahead and pick up a copy of DC x AEW #2. But if you're only in it for Booster Gold (or Skeets!), you'll have to get your fix elsewhere.

So, have you seen Cover A for this week's Action Comics #1096?

Yeah, yeah. Sure, there's Ghost Superman and a Superboy who wears Chucks and, for some reason, actual shorts. Great. But that's not the Important part.

This is:

When I last overhauled the design of Boosterrific back in 2018, I added a corner box because corner boxes are awesome. I'm glad that DC has finally gotten that memo. I mean, I'm not thrilled that Action Comics now cost $5 a pop, but if I have to pay that price, it's much better that they have Booster Gold on them.

And if you like that corner box drawn by Skyler Patridge as much as I do, keep your eyes out for Cover E, the "Spot Foil Variant" that is all corner box. Yes, it's $8, but it's selectively shiny!

Buy this issue for its cover and make Skeets happy.
