Reminder: today's the day that you can get your hands on Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #1 with the previously mentioned Booster Gold corgi on the cover.

While you're at your Local Comic Shop, you might want to consider checking out Action Comics #1087, which features a guest appearance by Booster Gold's 25th-century employer, the Space Museum (as can be seen in the preview available at AIPTcomics.com).

And as if that's not enough excitement for one day, be aware that also out today is Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #3, which makes it explicitly clear that "I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League" (long treated as an out-of-continuity tale) in JL Classified in 2005 is canon in the modern Rebirth-era DCU.

Now if only we could get Booster Gold himself to actually appear in a comic book again...

In addition to last week's August solicitations, a couple of Booster boosters also made sure I saw a recently revealed variant cover to a comic coming much sooner. Specifically, this $4.99 Lucas Meyer card stock variant cover for Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #1:

See the Blue and Gold corgis there in the top left? SLW calls it a "Booster cameo as a corgi" while pigeon described "a corgi dressed as Booster." So which is it?

You might think that's a stupid question, but in Wonder Woman #9, the Super Sons were turned into corgis by Circe. So is this more of that? Or is this an imaginary story? Or is this just a dog Trick-or-Treating as Booster Gold?

Judging by the preview pages at icv2.com, these corgis are the Justice Leaguers of a doomed alternate Earth during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Because things like those have to exist somewhere in an infinite Multiverse. (And yeah, although Booster Gold famously didn't exist in the DCU until after Crisis, somewhere in an infinite Multiverse, he did. That's what "infinite" means.)

Thanks to all who brought this to my attention.

Fall writes:

Hey! Booster makes a quick cameo in the new DC Universe Infinite GO! comic Taste of Justice. While it's not out yet, they put out a holiday preview comic where [Booster Gold] appears in the Watchtower alongside other Justice League members, sporting what looks to be a denim jacket over his suit. I doubt the comic is set in main continuity, but it's still nice to see him.

Fall is one of several people to alert me to this, so I guess a lot of you are reading comics on DC Universe Infinite. Since that seems to be the only place to find new Booster Gold comics these days, maybe I should look into that.

This is the panel with Booster Gold (his only appearance in the entire preview story):

I'm not sure that's denim. Maybe it's his old Conglomerate jacket. (Please, please, please let it be his Conglomerate jacket.)

Will this be Booster's only appearance in this series? I doubt it. If you look real closely at the tiny series cover image, you'll see that Booster is there, too, holding up a hamburger and wearing a "#1 Golden Chef" apron.

Are we going to get a Booster Gold hamburger recipe? I sure hope so.

For the record, Taste of Justice (link: dcuniverseinfinite.com) is being advertised as launching "summer 2025." The title of the preview story is "Cookies in a Flash" credited to Andrew Aydin (writing), Domo (pencils & inks), Nick Filardi (colors), Micah Myers (letterer), Sabrina Futch (Associate Editor), and Katie Kubert (Editor).

Thanks all who let me know about this.

When we last saw our hero in Absolute Power #2, he was caught up in the Brainiac Queen's attack on Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Did he get away safely? The suspense is killing me!

Unfortunately for my ulcers, Booster Gold is not seen in the preview available at aiptcomics.com for today's Absolute Power #3. But Blue Beetle is! And so are most of the other heroes last seen in Absolute Power#2.

If Beetle is free, Booster can't be too far away. (If he's on Themyscira, he's probably busy off panel hitting on Wonder Woman again. Some things are just more important than defeating another fascist would-be world dictator.)

Consider buying this issue and making Skeets happy.
