When the Justice League fights the Justice League and the Justice League, who will win? (Hint: it's the Justice League.)

The prelude to Trinity War officially kicks off today in Trinity of Sin: Pandora #1. Pandora is the mysterious character inexplicably seen (but never explained) in the final panels of Flashpoint. Are we finally going to learn what caused her to create the post-Flashpoint DCnU? Will her story make Flashpoint make any sense? Will this event justify the existence of three Justice League titles? And most importantly, what role will Booster Gold play in the Trinity War?

Booster appears in the two-page spread teaser for the issue that DC released last month, so he will be in this issue, at least as a flashback to Justice League International, Volume 3, #1. Will this be the start of Booster's big return to the DCnU? Or will he be relegated to the same limbo as Captain Atom, Resurrection Man, and Voodoo?

The answers to these questions and more begin in Trinity of Sin: Pandora #1, on sale today!

[UPDATE 2013-07-03: False alarm. Although dccomics.com explicitly described "this incredible spread from the series' debut issue," the pages DO NOT appear in Trinity of Sin: Pandora #1.]

Today at your Local Comic Shop you'll find the continuing adventures of Jonah Hex and Booster Gold in All-Star Western #21.

When we last left our heroes, they were returning to Red River Junction with the recovered gold and the sole surviving member of the Clem Hootkins Gang. But if the preview pages at CraveOnline.com are any indication, the trouble is just beginning for this odd couple.

Buy All-StarWestern #21 and make Skeets happy.

If you missed them the first time around, Booster Gold and the now-defunct Justice League International's appearances in The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men issues #9 and #10 will be collected in today's The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men Volume 2: The Firestorm Protocols.

To be clear, The Firestorm Protocols collects issues #7 through #12 and #0 of the series and contains none of Dan Jurgens' work on the title. This volume represents the second half of Ethan Van Sciver's year on the series. Van Sciver's art was well received, but his story not so much.

Come to think of it, it has been about a year since these issues were published, and already Jurgens' New 52 reinterpretation of the JLI and Van Sciver's New 52 reinterpretation Firestorm have already been largely forgotten. Firestorm looks and acts much like his pre-Flashpoint self as a member of the Justice League, and Booster is rumored to be returning to his own title again.

It's beginning to feel like old times again at DC!

When we last left our hero in Smallville Season 11 #13, his powers had been remotely deactivated by "Legion Protocol 6." Making matters worse, he and Superman were soon teleported through time to the 31st century to find Earth and New Krypton at war.

In today's Smallville Season 11 #14, Booster will continue his quest to have the Legion of Super-Heroes restore his powers. If you've been reading this story as it has been released in weekly digital installments on comiXology.com, don't tell your floppy-only buying friends how things go from bad to terrible for our hero this month.

Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

Only die-hard Booster Gold completists (you know who you are) may care about this, but Booster Gold will be making an appearance in today's Smallville Season 11 Special #1. The main story features Smallville's version of Martian Manhunter, but Booster will be making a brief cameo. Or at least his Fan Club t-shirt will.

Hey, I think I own that shirt! Now I can dress just like some kid in a comic book! Sweet! (If you want to be able to dress just like some kid in a comic book, you can get your own officially licensed Booster Gold Fan Club t-shirt from graphittidesigns.com. All the coolest comic book supporting characters are wearing them!)

The 48-page Smallville Season 11 Special #1 by Bryan Q. Miller, Axel Gimenez, and Diana Egea will set you back $4.99 at your Local Comic Shop.
