While Booster Gold's victory over Maxwell Lord may have been short lived, it certainly seems to have struck a chord with our voters. Let's hope that Booster will get to have a showdown with his old frenemy one day in the DCnU.

Last week's poll question: What was the highlight of 2011 for Booster Gold? (38 votes)

Beginning next week, polls will be moving to Thursdays from their customary Fridays. Adjust your calendars appropriately. Since that means that this week's poll will run for 6 instead of the customary 7 days, let's keep it simple: this is the Best Booster Book Championship!

Wow. It's a Christmas Miracle: this poll had 4 times as many votes as any other poll has ever received. (That's a response too good to be true. It looks like I'll be spending Christmas weekend working on better poll scripts!) Given the apparent demand, maybe original Dan Jurgens artwork needs to be sold by the panel.

Last week's poll question: Which present would you most prefer receive for Christmas? (168 votes)

Coming to the end of the calendar means that it's time to look back at the year that was. For Booster Gold, 2011 was a pretty eventful year. Booster was prominently featured as a major character in 4 different titles, participated in a unique tie-in to the crossover event of the year, and survived the reboot to lead the reimagined Justice League International. He even appeared in both animated and live action television shows. Quite an impressive list for a character still widely considered a b-list hero. Here's hoping Booster doesn't rest on his laurels in 2012.

The winner of last week's poll, 52 Week 15, trounced the competition by a wide margin. I'm sure no one voted for that issue because we saw Booster Gold's corpse, right?

Last week's poll question: What is the best single comic book that features Booster Gold (Boosterrific edition)? (38 votes)

I have another follow-up poll for this series that I'll run next year. First, let's take the time to properly celebrate the holiday season the traditional way: by thinking about what we want other people to give us.

Probably no surprise following his golden performance in Smallville, but Eric Martsolf garnered the best response in last week's poll. Even if he doesn't land the role (and I can't really imagine that he'd want to leave Days of Our Lives for a shot at a series on ScyFy), he'll always be television's first live-action Booster Gold and have a place in our hearts.

Last week's poll question: Who would you like to see cast as Booster Gold? (42 votes)

In a poll two weeks ago, I asked you to choose your favorite Booster Gold comic from among the books with the best fan ratings here at Boosterrific.com. This week, I'm asking you to choose your favorites from some of the books that have earned my personal highest ratings. No matter which you vote for this week, there are no losers in this bunch.

It's been over a week since the news broke, and we here at Boosterrific are still justifiably giddy over the possibility of a Booster Gold television series.

Last week's poll question: What is your initial response to the news that Booster Gold has been optioned for television? (39 votes)

Fan casting is a popular passtime across the internet, so it's natural to take a look around for ideas who could end up playing Booster Gold. (Sure, it's premature, but it's fun.) In the past year, fan casts have appeared on ComicBookMocie.com and IGN.com. Earlier this week, Russ Burlingame ran his own casting call over at ComicBook.com. Popular suggestions seem to include Eric Martsolf, James Roday, Nathan Fillion, and Tom Everett Scott. I'm sure you probably have someone in mind.
