I'm often under the impression that Booster's "me, me, me" behavior is why some people hate him, but it's clear that those of us who love him love that about him.

Last week's poll question: How do you view Booster Gold's shameless and incessant self-promotions? (49 votes)

Here at Boosterrific, we love to see commissions as much as we love to see cosplayers. What does that love cost us?

Booster Gold fans showing Dan Jurgens the love!

Last week's poll question: Which writer(s) do you feel has had the most influence on the development of Booster Gold? (66 votes)

Remember that earlier in the week, I quoted Jurgens comparing Booster Gold to Kim Kardashian? Good thing or bad thing?

That's almost a tie! (Any chance those votes correspond to the ages of the voters or how long they've been following the adventures of Booster Gold?)

Last week's poll question: How old do you think Booster Gold is? (63 votes)

Since we seem to have entered an era where the artists get all the fun (variant covers on everything every month now, DC? Really?), it seems a good time to appreciate the role the writers play in developing the characters we love.

Enthusiastic crowd! Here's hoping that most of you aren't wrong.

Last week's poll question: What do you think Dan DiDio was teasing about DC's plans for Booster Gold? (62 votes)

Joss recently joined the Boosterrific Forum (hello, Joss!), and he immediately asked me the tough question: How old is Booster Gold? That's a hard question to answer.

Booster was in his mid-twenties when he debuted in Booster Gold volume 1, and was revealed to be in his mid-thirties in later issues of Booster Gold volume 2, but that was before he was infected with a disease that made his functionally immortal. Of course, the New 52 reset everything, making the entire DC Universe, and presumably Booster Gold, considerably younger, although Booster seemed to survive Flashpoint unaltered. Where does all that leave Booster Gold?

I don't think a lack of Booster Gold cosplayers is in and of itself a problem, but when no one cares enough to dress like Booster Gold it seems to me that the fans are starting to move on to other things. Given how DC has underused The Greatest Character In History for the past 2+ years, maybe they should.

Last week's poll question: Does the lack of Booster Gold cosplayers at Comic-Con signify a bigger problem for Booster Gold fandom? (46 votes)

I often feel that I'm letting Booster Gold fans down when I don't gush with enthusiasm over teases like Dan DiDio's DC All Access announcement. Naturally, I'm not the sort of person who who gets excited about such things (especially when they come from someone with DiDio's track record of intentionally misleading statements), but that doesn't necessarily mean that you shouldn't. Hope and enthusiasm are good things. So I ask you, the fans, what was your reaction to DiDio's tease?

"So with the Five Year Later jump in September, There's one book that's a clue book, there's one book that sets it all up, and it's the one book that gives us a glimpse of what's about to come in. ... I'm not saying it's Booster Gold, but it'd be great if it was Booster Gold."
