Last week Booster Gold surprised us a bit by turning up in Action Comics #1101. That issue was the second of nine parts in the "Kingdom of Zod" storyline that continues in this week's Superman Unlimited #16. The issue preview at AIPTComics.com makes it clear this one picks up where that one left off, so we can be pretty confident that Booster will be in this one, too.

UPDATE: He is. Three pages.

And, unless something changes, we might want to start anticipating Booster Gold appearing in some/all of the comics in the "Kingdom of Zod" event:

• Part 1: Supergirl #16 (no Booster Gold)
• Part 2: Action Comics #1101 (yes Booster Gold)
• Part 3: Superman Unlimited #16 (yes Booster Gold)
• Part 4: Superman #41 (August 26, 2026)
• Part 5: Supergirl #17 (September 2026)
• Part 6: Action Comics #1102 (September 2026 with Booster Gold on the cover)
• Part 7: Superman Unlimited #17 (September 2026)
• Part 8: Superman #42 (September 2026)
• Part 9: Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 (September 30, 2026)

Buy at least these issues with Booster Gold in them and make Skeets happy.

DC released August solicitations last week, and other than Booster's one-panel cameo from Animal Man #1 being reprinted in the latest re-issue of Animal Man by Grant Morrison Book One, I don't see much to excite Booster boosters.

On a similar note, don't expect too much Booster Gold at your Local Comic Shop tomorrow, either. Booster has been seen in ten of the last eleven issues of Superman, so maybe we'll see him (or a poster of him) again in Superman #38, but the preview at AIPTComics.com doesn't give any indication. We'll see.

UPDATE: We have seen. Superman #38 takes us back to Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime with a whole bunch of heroes against Superboy-Prime Superman-Prime Just-Plain-Prime. But no Booster Gold. Maybe next month.

As if there was any doubt after the last two issues, today's Action Comics #1098 definitely has plenty of Booster Gold in it, as proven by the issue preview at AIPTComics.com.

Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

Rob Snow alerts me that Booster Gold is in today's Justice League Unlimited #18. And if you recall, two weeks ago, Tony alerted us that Booster Gold also appears in a background panel in today's Superman #37 (or "Legacy 879" if you've been collecting since 1939).

Now, I haven't yet seen the panels from JLU #18, but the Superman panel in question is included in the issue preview at BleedingCool.com, but the important part is this:

Hmm. That looks familiar. Where have I seen that before? Ah, yes, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #20, also drawn by Dan Mora.

I hope this means Mora will be sneaking Booster into the background of more comics. Keep your eyes peeled, Booster boosters!

Thanks, Rob and Tony.

Coming today to your Local Comic Shop is the long awaited Bruno Redondo ugly sweater variant of Justice League Unlimited #17.

But wait! There's more!

Rob Snow has alerted me that you can clearly see Booster Gold in the online preview at AIPTComics.com for Superman #36 (which they have mistakenly called issue number 38 despite the "36" plainly visible on the cover art. Ooops).

Yep, that's Booster, all right.

Pick up one or more of these issues and make Skeets happy.
