Wow. Genuine surprise. I really thought Fire would be the winner here.

Last week's poll question: Of his female teammates in the New 52 Justice League International, which would you like to see romancing Booster Gold? (35 votes)

Whether you are satisfied with the New 52 reboot or not, you have to admit that it hasn't gone well for Booster Gold's supporting cast.

In August 2011, I asked which supporting character you would miss the most from the rebooted DCnU, and you said Skeets. So far, Skeets has only been heard and not seen (save one off-model Booster cameo in Stormwatch #12).

In August 2010, I asked which character from Booster's first series you would most want to see returned to action, and you said Trixie Collins. So far, we've only got a throwaway reference to Rip Hunter as the Justice League International was disbanded.

In April 2010, I asked you which of Booster's relatives you would want to read more stories about, and you said Booster's father. So far, we haven't even seen Michelle in the New 52.

Given the furor I'd seen over this on message boards on other sites on the web, I have to say that I really wasn't prepared for the margins on this poll. Don't you know that as comic fans, we're supposed to have a ridiculous overreaction to everything? How can you live with your rational, calm selves?

Last week's poll question: How does the news that Booster Gold is reappearing in April change your interpretation of R.B. Silva's Instagram sketch? (34 votes)

In case you somehow missed it, today is Valentine's Day. So let's get romantic.

Fifty-two titles to chose from, and one stands out significantly above the rest as our expected source for Booster Gold's return. Is it any surprise it's the title written by Geoff Johns? (For the record, 37 books received one or fewer votes. Only the top ten are shown in the graph below.)

Last week's poll question: Which April DC title will see the return of Booster Gold? (Choose up to 3 titles.) (117 votes)

Remember R.B. Silva's Instagram.com sketch that has been widely interpreted as a sign of an upcoming Justice League International comic? Now that we know that Booster will be reappearing in April, has that changed your thinking about what Silva's sketches represent?

Last week, there was some debate about whether the character teased in DC Comics Presents #19 was going to be Booster Gold. The case against it looked pretty clear, as the results of the poll suggest.

Last week's poll question: Will the time-displaced hero in DC PRESENTS #19 be Booster Gold? (43 votes)

But yesterday, Buzzfeed.com released a list of teases about DC's April solicitations. First and foremost was news about our hero.

• Booster Gold reappears while an entire team disappears

Whoo-hoo! Now we need to know where. Could we have been wrong about DC Comics Presents? Over at ComicBook.com, Russ Burlingame suggests Justice League Dark or Stormwatch. Months back, we were told that we'd see Booster in Justice League of America, although we could certainly see him first in Justice League. Is that Booster's force field on the cover of Vibe? Might the disappearing team referenced in the tease be Suicide Squad, who all look dead on their cover?

So many options! We need more clues! Where's Rip Hunter's chalkboard when you need it?

Where do you think we should start looking? How about I give you the option of voting for up to 3 titles that DC solicited for April, and we'll narrow down the search from those that get votes.

I read the results of this poll as, "Booster Gold is just the way I like him!" I couldn't agree more. Here's hoping that one day the rest of the world finds out how awesome our Booster really is.

Last week's poll question: What is the biggest obstacle to making the public recognize Booster Gold as an A-list hero? (44 votes)

I know that yesterday, I made the case that Booster Gold would NOT be the "time-displaced hero" in DC Presents #19, but that doesn't mean that you have to just take my word for it. I'm not Darkseid. I'll let you cling to your hope that Booster will show up if it adds a little motivation to your life. So what do you say, Booster or no Booster?
