Here we go again. Trinity of Sin: Pandora #2 is released today. Will Booster Gold make an appearance? I have no idea.

Last month I told you to expect a glimpse of Booster Gold flashback in Trinity of Sin: Pandora #1. That information was based on a teaser released at dccomics.com. I was misled, and Booster was nowhere to be seen in that issue.

Will the teased pages with Booster be printed in today's book instead? I don't know. It's not in the issue preview at mtv.com. We now know that Booster won't be involved in Trinity War, and I begin to suspect that he won't be in Trinity of Sin: Pandora, either.

If anyone notices Booster in the issue, please let me know. Until I hear from you, I'm going to assume otherwise.

Today will be a busy day for Booster Gold fans. Smallville Season 11 #15 is on stands today, concluding Booster's trip to the 31st century to meet Smallville's version of the Legion of Super-Heroes. A preview of the issue is available at Mancave Daily

If that's not enough Booster for you, Justice League Dark Volume 2: The Books of Magic is also out today. This collection reprints Justice League Dark #14, the issue where Booster appears on John Constantine's magical mystery bulletin board.

They're both worth a look, if you are a Booster Gold fan. (And if you're not a Booster Gold fan, what are you doing here?)

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!
