Keeping with the team-up theme established with Monday's post, Booster Gold is in two comics today in which the DC Comics universe crosses over with other "universes" of content.

DC K.O. Boss Battle #1 one-shot has 8 covers, most of which feature some kind of team-up between different universes. The preview at AIPTComics.com makes clear that Booster Gold is certainly in the issue; he's being controlled by Darkseid, so that's a kind of a team-up.

And, as we already knew from recent DC house ads, Booster teams up with professional commentator Excalibur in DC x AEW #1 (also available for preview at AIPTComics.com) for the first issue of the 2-part crossover between a bunch of larger-than-life characters wearing spandex and the DC Comics universe.

That's a lot of crossing over. Surely it's no accident that this week is also seeing the re-release of 1981's Marvel Treasury Edition #28, better known as DC and Marvel Present: Superman and Spider-Man! Must be something in the water.

Anyway, DC K.O. Boss Battle #1 and DC x AEW #1 combine for 13 different covers and somehow Booster Gold is on none of them. So buyer's choice! Pick up the cover you like best of either of those issues, Booster boosters, and make Skeets (and his cross-company counterparts) happy.

Superman #34 is coming out today. I do not know if Booster will be in it, but (1) this title is written by Joshua Williamson, who is also co-writing DC K.O., and (2) Booster Gold has made at least a cameo appearance in the last five consecutive issues of the series (six of the last seven). Ergo, it seems that odds are good that Booster will be in this one, too.

If I can get to my Local Comic Shop today, I'll update this post accordingly.

UPDATE: Confirmed, Booster is indeed in Superman #34. And Logan, the manager of my Local Comic Shop, assures me that he looked through the other books DC released and this is the only one with Booster in it. Thanks, Logan!

UPDATE 2: Curse you, Logan! As eighties88 has pointed out in the comments, Booster Gold does indeed appear in one panel of DC's Supergirl Next Door. Thanks for the correction, eighties88.

It's been weeks since I've had to mention "DC K.O.," but all good things come to an end.

DC K.O. #3 comes out tomorrow. (Is it really only just on issue three? Issue #1 came out the first week in October!)

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

For the second consecutive week, there will be no new comics with a 2-page Booster Gold appearance. Considering the blistering speed at which we were getting those in November/December, this has been quite the rollercoaster. At least my wallet has enjoyed the change of pace.

In a better world, we'd get one 20-page Booster Gold comic a month. (In a perfect world, one a week!) Obviously, we don't live in a better world, but I'll keep hoping. There's a long time to go yet in 2026.

Booster Gold (Darkseid?) is front and center on the Kevin Wada variant cover to tomorrow's Justice League Unlimited #14.

I have no idea if Booster's in that book (UPDATE: one panel!), but there's a pretty good 100% chance that he will be in exactly two pages each of Flash #28 (Flash vs. Green Lantern), Superman #33 (Lex Luthor vs. Demon), and DC K.O.: Red Hood vs. The Joker, respectively rounds six, seven, and eight of the eight-round Kind Omega tournament. (Yes, I'm aware that I just typed "six, seven." I'm sorry. DC made me do it.)

And since tomorrow is Christmas Eve, I'd be remiss not to point out that DC Universe Infinite has adapted yet another Booster Gold story, "The Santa Copies," originally published in the 2023 holiday anthology DC's 'Twas The 'Mite Before Christmas #1, into vertical smartphone scrolling format as DC Go! Holiday Special 2025 #31. You can re-read it now for free at at dcuniverseinfinite.com. Thanks to J for pointing that out.
