New Releases: Superman 31, New History 4
If you're out to collect every Booster Gold comic book, DC is out to squeeze every possible penny out of you.
Case in point: this week's Superman #31. Excuse me. I mean the "Superman #31 Cover E Jorge Fornes Card Stock Variant (DC K.O.)." The standard cover is $4.99, but this variant's cover price is $5.99.
Booster Gold in a poncho? Is this a reference to A Fistful of Dollars or Back to the Future III? ("What idiot dressed you in that outfit?") We can at least be sure that Booster is in the book, at least as a mute background character, thanks to the preview at AIPTComics.com, but do we really think anything like this happens between the covers?
Second case in point: New History of the DC Universe #4. Excuse me. I mean the "New History of the DC Universe #4 (of 4) Cover E Ryan Sook Foil Variant." The standard cover is $5.99, but this variant's cover price is $9.99.
The preview for that issue does not show Booster Gold, so buyer beware.
To be clear: Although, yes, I will buy comics just because Booster Gold is in them and Booster Gold is on them, I do not make a habit of buying variants, especially ones with higher cover prices, and I cannot endorse such behavior in others. ("A man's got to know his limitations.") But if you've got enough money to cover your other needs and spending that money will not harm you, I trust you to judge for yourself whether to buy some commercially produced Booster Gold artwork. ("Go ahead, make your day.")

New Release: DC KO 1
DC's latest event book, DC K.O. #1, arrives at your Local Comic Shop today. According to preview pages at BleedingCool.com, Booster Gold is in it.
He is also on it. He can be seen fighting Jaime Reyes on the back of Scott Koblish's wraparound cover.
The bad news is this cover, officially "Cover L Scott Koblish DC Showcase Wraparound Foil Variant," just one of 45 that I am aware of, has a cover price of $24.99, the highest of all the non-incentive variant covers. (Technically, the incentive variants have no price on their covers, so I guess you could say they are all "priceless.")
And lest you think that you can circumvent that price point by gambling on getting the Cover N Scott Koblish Blind Bag Foil Variant in a $9.99 polybagged "Blind Bag," beware that the Blind Bag version is the Booster Gold-free front cover only. So $25 or bust if you're collecting Booster Gold covers.
Buy this issue and make Skeets happy (if only because it gets us one step closer to finding out where Skeets is).

New Releases: Superman 30, New History of DC 3
Pay attention, Booster boosters, as Booster Gold is in three different comics today!
Did I say "different"? According to Rob Snow, not so much. Apparently, while Booster Gold is in Justice League Unlimited #11, it's just the "last page splash panel. Same exact scene as the last page splash panel in Superman #30" that sets up next month's Justice League: The Omega Act.
You all already know my opinions on what's going on over in Superman, so that's all I have to say about those.
However, the third comic is New History of the DC Universe #3, which has been twice delayed past its original expected date August 27. Two delays are kind of fitting considering that Booster Gold and Skeets(!) are on two of its covers, one by Chris Samnee and the other by Scott Koblish. Both are really great. AIPTComics.com has a preview of the interior that confirms that Booster Gold and Skeets are inside, too.
Buy some comics and make Skeets happy! Thanks, Rob.

Maybe New Release: Superman 29
After making a surprise cameo appearance in June's Superman #27, Booster Gold wasn't in last month's Superman #28. But he's definitely going to be on the cover of September's Superman #30. So the question is: Will he be in tomorrow's Superman #29?
BleedingCool.com has a preview, and Booster's not in that. But Time Trapper is, and in that preview, Time Trapper excuses himself to go face the Dark Legion in another book which turns out to be Justice League Unlimited #10. Unfortunately, Booster's not in that preview either.
Booster has to appear in at least one of those books, right? I'll keep you posted.
UPDATE: Rob Snow tells us Booster *is* in Superman #29. Thanks, Rob!

What We Learned at Comic-Con 2025
Another year, another Comic-Con. So what did Booster boosters learn this year about our hero's role in the upcoming DC Universe?
Attendees of the "DC All In: What's Next" panel last Thursday were told that Booster Gold will be in the Justice League: The Omega Act special!
What's that you say? We already knew that? That's the one we learned about back two weeks ago, the one with a dead Booster Gold on the cover?
Yeah, ok.
But now we have pictures of Booster on the inside of a comic, too!
To be frank, I don't know which comic these pages are from. Omega Act seems likely, but that's just an educated guess. (CONFIRMED. It's Omega Act.) All I know for sure is that Booster doesn't look very happy to be included. Maybe he's seen the recent covers.
There is one more thing I learned this weekend, but it didn't come from Comic-Con. Booster booster Richard sent me an email pointing me to penguinrandomhouse.com:
So no matter what DC does to Booster this fall, we definitely have something to look forward to next spring! Hooray!
