New Releases: DCU Online Legends #24
February 29 is Superman's birthday. Naturally, anything that is good for Superman is anathema to Booster Gold, so it should come as no surprise that Booster has never appeared in a comic released on February 29. And after today, he still might not have.
DC released preview art for DC Universe Online Legends #24 last week on The Source that mentions -- but does not show -- our hero. It also implies that we will not be seeing our hero... ever again. (At least in the alternate continuity of the DCU Online video game.)
So does Booster finally get his Leap Year on or not? Buy this issue and let Skeets know if he should start collecting unemployment.

New Releases: Power Girl and DCU Online
Earlier this week, DC released a pic of Power Girl's DCnU costume. (Summary: impractical boob-window closed = good; solid white leotard with nearly a dozen prominent seams = bad.) To make way for its latest fashion nightmare, DC will release the collected final eight issues of PG's previous series today in Power Girl: Old Friends.
Many of the issues in this collection tied into events in Justice League: Generation Lost. As a result, Booster Gold appeared in Power Girl #19, #20, and #21. That -- and the knowledge that this is the last you'll see of PG's décolletage for the foreseeable future -- should be all the reason you need to pick up this collection.
And for you completists out there -- because let's face it, if you are buying a Power Girl collection for Booster Gold appearances, you are probably buying everything with a Booster Gold appearance in it -- note that Booster Gold makes a cameo appearance in today's DC Universe Online Legends #23. This appearance is out of continuity, but what is continuity these days, anyway?
Consider buying one or more of these issues and make out-of-continuity Skeets happy.

New Releases: Justice League International #6
Whoops! This was supposed to posted earlier this morning! Sorry about that.
Advance solicitations indicate that today's release of Justice League International #6 will be a character piece bridging the gap between the first and second story arcs in the young life of the DCnU JLI. Last week's preview (discussed here) also indicates that the issue will have a strong focus on Booster Gold. Focus on character with plenty of Booster Gold? That's sounds like our kind of comic book!
Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

New Old Releases: Suicide Squad
The trade collection of the final issues of the canceled Secret Six is published today. Included in the collection will be Booster Gold's appearance in Secret Six #36 for those that missed Booster's showdown with the Six in the rush towards the New 52.
On another note, Blue Beetle and Captain Atom -- both of which see their 5th issue released today -- are two titles that drop within range of the next swing of DC's cancellation hatchet after DC's announced cancellations last week. If DC is looking to make some space for a "Third Wave" of titles, these characters should be getting nervous. Since both have history with previous incarnations of the JLI, what's the chance that after their seemingly-inevitable cancellation these characters will end up on Booster's Justice League?
Skeets would probably prefer that you not buy any of these issues if it means any possibility of a return for a Booster and Skeets title.

New Releases: Legion Lost #5
Eagle-eyed, longtime Booster booster Shawn Baston notes that Booster Gold and the Justice League International appear in today's Legion Lost #5 reacting to a global plague. Unfortunately, it seems that the JLI's skill set isn't the best method for dealing with heart attacks:
Buying this issue won't make Skeets happy, but it could teach you how not to treat heart attack victims.
