I suspect that the results of this poll pretty accurately represent the ratio of Boostlers to the larger Blue and Gold fan base.

Last week's poll question: What should Booster Gold fans be most thankful for from 2012? (45 votes)

No matter how you look at it, 2012 wasn't a very good year for Booster Gold fans. Besides the news that there might be a Booster Gold television show, there isn't anything else to crow over. So I put it to you, Booster boosters, what made you happy in 2012?

We might be loyal to our Carter clan, but we still have some lingering animosity about the reboot, don't we?

Last week's poll question: So far as you are concerned, are Booster Gold and Blue Beetle friends or lovers? (41 votes)

I suspect that you knew after Tuesday that this next question was coming. Note that I'm not asking whether Blue and Gold are actually a couple, just whether you think of them as a couple. (It's an audience poll, not a quiz!)

The internet age is certainly finding new ways to tax individual morality. If Les Misérables were written today, would Jean Valjean be going to jail for downloading mp3s?

Last week's poll question: How do you feel about Rip Hunter being replaced by John Constantine as chronicler of the secrets of the DCnU? (47 votes)

Yesterday at ComicBook.com, Russ Burlingame explored the possible meanings of the scribblings seen in Justice League Dark #14. While Burlingame may be concerned about what they mean, I'm far more interested in who wrote them!

Earlier this week, I was asked whether I ever downloaded comic books from peer-to-peer networks. I admitted that yes, I did occasionally download books, but only back issues that were several years old. My friend -- who happens to be a parole officer -- asked me why I limited myself to out-of-date books, pointing out that Booster Gold wouldn't bother with such restrictions.

Obviously, comic book publishers are in business to sell comic books. They need us to buy their product, and have every right to defend their business by enforcing their copyrighted material. If we all take their comics for free from the internet, eventually there will no longer be any new DC comics.

However, if you buy a comic that you really enjoy, the publishers would want you to share that experience with your friends in the hopes of selling comics to them too. How is sharing comics peer-to-peer any different than passing your floppies to your friends over the kitchen table each week?

Attention Geoff Johns: when you bring Booster Gold back in Justice League of America, please fix his costume.

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

Yes, we're running the poll a day early today so that everyone can enjoy their Thanksgiving turkey and football tomorrow. And because of the ongoing maintenance here at Boosterrific.com, there will be no new poll this week. Polling will resume next week, assuming everything gets working again. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

P.S. Comments are currently broken. I'll get them fixed as soon as possible (probably later today).
