According to Bleeding Cool, this week's Justice League International #1 has already sold out, and it hasn't even hit stands yet! That means that retailers, expecting whopping sales after Justice League flew off the shelves last week, are expecting boffo demand for the book.

As leader of the team, Booster Gold naturally deserves full credit for this good news. Good job, Booster! Keep up the good work.

Today marks the end of the DCU, as represented by Flashpoint #5, and the dawn of the DCnU, to be seen in Justice League, Volume 2, #1. It seems very unlikely that Booster Gold will appear in either book, though both affect his stories. By this time, I'm sure anyone reading this has an opinion about the Great DC Reboot of 2010, so buy them or not: Skeets is indifferent.

DC released this teaser image of Booster Gold yesterday at The Source.

Putting together yesterday's image of the Phillip-ized Booster Gold had me convinced that Booster's new costume was worse than I had previously realized. Fortunately, seeing Booster in a more conventional DC style is something of a soothing balm for my panic. Somewhat.

More curiously, in the full image, Booster is clearly standing near Plastic Man, Hawk, and Frankenstein's Monster. Is the Justice League International the DCnU's equivalent of television's Justice League Unlimited team where every DC hero is a member? I hate to be an optimist, but this could be good.

Just in time for the unveiling of the DCnU and the first post-Flashpoint Justice League next week, today DC Comics releases DC Retroactive: Justice League America - the '90s, a look back at the first Justice League of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths era. Maybe you can't go home again, but you can pay $4.99 for a new look at your old scrapbooks.

Also on today's docket of nostalgic releases is the hardcover collected edition of DC Universe: Legacies. While DC Universe: Legacies is a blueprint of revisionist history for the 75-year-old DC Universe in 2010, it remains to be seen how much of the continuity it reinvents will be maintained after Flashpoint concludes next week.

Pick up your copies and make Skeets happy.

Over at the DC Comics Message Board, some determined Booster fans are considering petitioning DC Comics for a Booster Gold #50 to tie up the loose ends that were left dangling by the DC relaunch. We got closer than some might think; counting issues #0 and #1,000,000, there were 49 published issues of Booster Gold, Volume 2.

If you're still looking for a place to voice your frustration at the cancellation, visit the DC Message Board here. (Sure, it's probably going nowhere, but as Flashpoint was so desperate to remind us, hope is the cornerstone of the DC Universe.)
