Whoops! I've been sick this week, and completely forgot yesterday's poll post here in the blog. I'll fix that now.

It would figure that the Boosterrific fans would prefer continuity. Without continuity, there would be no Blue and Gold, no Booster Gold Volume 2, and no Extreme Jsutice. (You have to take the good with the bad.)

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

So the Booster Gold television project might not be dead, but it also doesn't seem to be on SyFy's radar, either. That might not be such a bad thing. Different networks have different business strategies, target audiences, and aesthetics. Is Booster Gold a better fit somewhere other than SyFy?

Oh, Skeets. We miss you, we really miss you!

Last week's poll question: Which Booster Gold supporting character do you still miss the most in the DCnU? (55 votes)

With Booster currently in two separate stories that could be considered outside New 52 continuity, it begs the question of whether continuity is relevant to our time and space traveling hero.

Given that the current New 52 incarnation of Captain Marvel Shazam is such a jerk, I'm guessing the New 52 Black Adam is probably a pretty nice guy.

Last week's poll question: What historical DCU character would you like to see time-traveler Booster Gold visit next? (54 votes)

You may recall that I ran a poll back in February that failed to record most of the results because I carelessly left a script disconnected while trying to resolve the server slowdown. Today, that poll gets a second chance.

Today Booster Gold makes his first appearance in the DCU since August 2012 in the pages of All-Star Western #19. Earlier this week, Brian Truitt of USA Today interviewed issue co-writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray.

"We're going to see Booster thinking on his feet," [Palmiotti] says. "He's pressed into a situation right away in the book that is a lot bigger than he can handle, and Jonah has a firm grasp of what's going on and Booster is coming into it and trying to figure out not only why he's there and what he's doing there but also solve what's been dumped on him."

This is neither Booster's first trip to the Old West nor his first meeting with Jonah Hex. Dialogue in the issue preview subtly implies that Booster's previous drunken meeting with Hex in Booster Gold, volume 2, #3 is still in continuity! Hooray!

You can read a preview of the issue yourself at ComicBook.com, where Russell Burlingame will soon be running a variation of his "Gold Exchange" column with co-writer Justin Gray.

This weekend there was a discussion on the Boosterrific Forum about what costume Booster Gold might be wearing when he drops in on All-Star Western later this month. Clearly, a few fans are still displeased over Booster's New 52 costume. (I am one of them.)

The illustration above shows the progression of Booster's gloves from his debut to now. In his debut series, Booster had gold gloves with blue bracelets. In his second series, Booster had blue gloves with gold bracelets. Now Booster has gold gloves with gold bracelets.

Assuming that it is Booster Gold's golden hand we see on the solicited half-cover for All-Star Western #19, it looks like Booster will still be wearing his New 52 apparel. That is, unless he has put his old costume back on for a trip to the Old West.

We'll find out for sure when All-Star Western #19 hits stands April 24.
