Hope Springs Eternal
Thanks to the highly unscientific Boosterrific.com poll, I think we can be reasonably sure that the Chip Kidd "Variant" is going to be the rarer (read: more expensive) cover in years to come.
Last week's poll question: Which cover for
Over in the Boosterrific.com Forum, Morgenstern has brought it to our attention that Dan DiDio has said that one Convergence mini-series will "definitely continue on, but in a new setting." Matt SantoriGriffith (@FotoClub) wondered whether it might be Booster Gold.
"@FotoCub Booster is a little too obvious, don't you think?"

So what Booster Gold fans to make of that?

Judging a Book by Its Cover
I've spent liberally during the first wave of these Convergence minis, but I've been keeping a list of which titles I'll be buying a second issue to. It's a very short list.
Last week's poll question: Has the price of the Convergence tie-ins influenced how many of them you are buying? (44 votes)
DC is in love with the variant cover these days. It must work to bring in higher sales numbers, otherwise why go through the trouble?

There Must Be a Hole in My Pocket
While I didn't vote for New 52 Booster myself, I totally respect that someone would. Sometimes it's nice to start over.
Last week's poll question: If only one Booster Gold survives Convergence, who should it be? (65 votes)
The last time DC ran 8 weeks of constant, weekly crossovers was 1988's Millennium. I distinctly remember the clerk at my Local Comic Shop at the time moaning that he'd just recovered from buying all the Crisis tie-ins when Millennium started.
Back then, most of the crossover titles cost about $1. Today, they are all $4. That's an increase twice the rate of inflation! (So much for holding that line at $2.99, eh, DC?) I hope that guy working in the comic shop back then has gotten a raise or two over the years, or Convergence is going to put him in the poor house.

Saying Goodbye to Old Friends
I assume that those of you who voted for Jim Lee would probably love to see a Booster Gold/Gen 13 crossover. Well, me too.
Last week's poll question: Which single creator would you most like to see work on a Booster Gold story as a combination writer/artist? (45 votes)
DC has indicated that the "New 52" is over after Convergence. But if only one Booster Gold will survive, which will it be?

The Perfect Team-Up Is Just One Man
I suppose it figures that the Booster Gold with the fewest votes is also the Booster Gold who has appeared in the fewest number of panels (exactly one, which is also the number of votes he got).
Last week's poll question: Which alternate-continuity version of himself should Booster Gold meet during Convergence? (44 votes)
Now that Convergence is upon us, let's talk about the elseworlds where a single creator — combination of writer and artist — other than Dan Jurgens was responsible for telling the stories of most of Booster Gold's adventures. Who would you want to read?
