Judging by the decline in emails and comments received since September, it seemed to me that Boosterrific.com must be receiving fewer visitors lately. But the analytics tell a different story: visits are actually up. I wonder if the current DC K.O. event isn't responsible for both driving new readers to learn a little more about Booster Gold while driving existing Booster Gold fans to duck and cover until Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson's string of degradations to our hero finally blows over.

Whomever your eyeballs belong to, thanks for reading.

Now, who wants to play "Where will we see Booster Gold next"?

The way Booster's skinsuit appeared at the end of last week's DC K.O. Superman vs Captain Atom #1 has me expecting Booster to show up and throw a different character out of a window at the end of each round of the current "DC K.O. All Fight Month." This week sees Round Two (versus Hawkman) in Aquaman #12 and Round Three in Wonder Woman vs. Lobo #1.

If anyone spots Booster Gold (or a reasonable facsimile) there or elsewhere, please let me know.

UPDATE: Yep. "Booster" is in a couple of pages of both. Which means he'll have 2 pages in all of the superhero death matches. And this really might be the breaking point at which I will stop buying all comics with Booster Gold in then. As my Local Comic Shop Guy-turned-therapist said to me today, "We've really got to get you out of this abusive relationship with DC." When your pusher says you've had enough, maybe it's time to listen.

Tuesday already? Let's look over the weekly ship list here... Hmm. Looks like if Booster Gold will be anywhere this week, it'll be the DC K.O. Superman vs Captain Atom #1 one shot. If anyone spots Booster there, please let me know.

UPDATE: Yeah, he's in there. And the way he's in there leads me to believe he's going to be in all of these one shots. <sarcasm>Great</sarcasm>.

Meanwhile, DC Universe Infinite has adapted the Booster Gold story "Twas the Night" into vertical smartphone scrolling format as DC Go! Holiday Special 2025 #9. (This story was originally released in 2020 in the DC's Very Merry Multiverse #1 anthology.) You can re-read it now for free at at dcuniverseinfinite.com.

Today you'll find DC K.O. #2 at your Local Comic Shop. As a reminder, this was the last panel in issue one:

Since it's already over and Darkseid has obviously won, why is there a second issue?

UPDATE: Booster Gold also appears (briefly) in Superman #32.

SECOND UPDATE: I've read them now, and I'm frankly amazed that DC keeps finding new ways to make the All In era, now in its second year, less enjoyable. Great job, everyone.

Can you believe that DC K.O. #1 came out 6 weeks ago? And we're still a week away from issue #2. For an event that's only supposed to be five issues/six months long, it sure is taking its own sweet time to get going.

In the meantime, Booster's reported appearance in that exclusive DC Universe Infinite DC Go! Aquaman comic has now spread to episode 20, released on Tuesday.

I've got no reason to believe Booster will be in any of this week's releases, and since DC is saving Booster Gold fans so much money on new releases, we're running out of excuses not to subscribe to DC Universe Infinite Ultra. (I don't really want to read yet another Elseworlds story about pirates. But my resolve is starting to weaken.)

Booster boosters Rob Snow and Pigeon both wrote to tell me that Booster Gold and Skeets have been sighted in DC Go!'s Aquaman: Yo-Ho-Hold Onto Your Hook!. Rob even gave me a couple of images he found on X.

I, for various reasons, am not on X, but I believe, based on the other screenshot that Rob sent me of an X post by Josh Trujillo, that the Booster and Skeets seen above are in issue #19 released to Ultra members of dcuniverseinfinte.com on November 11.

X will not let me search its content without an account, but from what Rob and Pigeon have told me plus a little old fashioned Google sleuthing, I am under the impression that the above character turnaround was drawn by Bradley Clayton, who is one of several artists that the DC Universe Infinite credits on that issue.

However, for slightly different reasons, I also do not have a DC Universe Infinite Ultra account, which is required to actually read that issue. (I read free issue #1. Reminded me of One Piece. Is that the target audience: people who can't get enough One Piece?) So I'm just going to have to assume that reliable Rob and dependable Pigeon aren't pulling my leg with one of those elaborate AI ruses that seem to be everywhere these days.

If anyone reading this does have an Ultra account, can confirm that Booster Gold is in Aquaman: Yo-Ho-Hold Onto Your Hook! #19, and wants to send me a screenshot of the title and credits page of that issue, I'll add the issue (with credit to the treasure hunter who brings me this bounty) to the Boosterrific! Database.

Thanks to Rob and Pigeon for their eternal vigilance, especially in this age of pirates.
