It's a Booster bonanza this week, as Booster Gold appears in not only his own title, Convergence Booster Gold #2, but also the final issue of the main event, Convergence #8.

Previews for the two issues can be found at ComicVine.com and HitFlix.com respectively. ( Thanks to Morgenstern for the links.)

Now go buy both issues and make Skeets happy!

Back in February, Justice League International writer Ron Marz told Russ Burlingame that "I think we'll find a way to sneak [Booster Gold] in."

Booster wasn't in issue #1, so here's hoping he's in today's Convergence Justice League International #2. Skeets sure hopes so.

UPDATE 2015-05-13: Booster Gold is definitely in this issue. Kinda. Just buy it and see for yourself. (Thanks, Ron Marz!)

Don't forget that the first issue of the Convergence: Booster Gold comes out today.

The issue has two covers (count 'em: two!) that retailers could order separately. While this theoretically means that there could be an even distribution of each, it's more likely that one will turn out to be a little rarer than the other.

Skeets demands that you drop what you are doing and go buy two copies of Convergence: Booster Gold #1 right now. (You can read one and seal the other in a time capsule to be opened in the 25th century!)

UPDATE 2015-04-30: SuperPat posted this notification in the comments below, but I've received enough emails about it that I should put this on the front page where everyone can see it: Booster Gold also appears in Convergence Blue Beetle #1.

Tired of Convergence yet?

This week we get Ralph Dibny and Kelly Jones on Swamp Thing and a return of the worst Outsiders ever. But it doesn't look like we'll be getting any Booster Gold. Even Convergence: Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes won't include our hero, despite the fact that we know Booster and the Legion will be tangling in Booster's own title launching next week.

From an interview at comicbook.com this past February:

Russ Burlingame: We've seen that Booster Gold will run afoul of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes in his second issue. Will we see any of that in your own title?

Stuart Moore: No, that takes place before our story.

Don't despair, Booster fans. There will be some Booster on the rack this week. It just won't be new.

Enter Justice League 3000 Volume 2: The Camelot War, which includes the arrival of classic Blue and Gold in the 30th century. Of course you bought those issues when they were new, but now you can buy them again without breaking your floppies out of their mylar. At $14.99, this book is collectively cheaper than the individual issues were, so there's an incentive here for those of you who were trade-waiting.

Buy it or not. Skeets doesn't care.

This is the second week of Convergence, and thus you'll find the second wave of tie-in mini-series in your Local Comic Shop today.

If you're looking for Booster Gold, you'll find him in the back of Convergence: Justice League International #1, but not as part of the team itself. That may be disappointing to Booster Gold fans, but Red Tornado fans deserve to see their hero in action, too. (I assume that there are Red Tornado fans.)

You can read a preview of the issue at ComicBookResources.com.
