Cover A by Tony S. Daniel and Marcelo Maiolo

Rob Snow assures me that Booster Gold appears on exactly one panel inside this issue, so buy Wonder Woman #13 and make Skeets happy.

Ok, so Booster Gold can't be seen anywhere in Absolute Power #2. But that's not the only place you won't find our hero!

As reported by BleedingCool.com and other sources, earlier this week X.com user romaa_0905 asked director James Gunn whether Booster Gold will appear in his upcoming Superman movie. Gunn's answer?

"No."

Great! Now I don't have to watch Superman. Thanks, James!

However, Booster booster Rob Snow reports that elsewhere on X, via DCOfficial to be precise, it appears we are getting confirmation that Booster Gold will definitely be in next month's DC All-In Special #1.

Technically, the post I've linked to above is promoting the "Justice League membership cards" DC (via Lunar Distribution) is distributing to comic shops to promote Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and... Darkseid(???) in October. For more information about that story and when you can get your own copy of those cards, visit thepopverse.com.

But don't be distracted by the shiny card. The important takeaway here is that Booster Gold will definitely be seen in the DC All-In Special when it comes to your Local Comic Shop on October 2. Thanks, Rob!

Booster booster Rob Snow has finally got his hands on the new McFarlane Super Powers Booster Gold figure, and he sent me this pic of our hero alongside his best bud, Blue Beetle!

Is that an optical illusion, or is Booster really half-a-head taller than Beetle? (According to Who's Who, Booster is 6' 5" while Beetle is 5' 11".) I asked Rob, who confirmed what my eyes had seen:

"Hes quite a bit taller. Had to scrunch him down into the Bug."

The only way they could be more comics-accurate is if Booster's Power Action was being airsick in the Bug!

Thanks for sharing, Rob.

AIPTComics.com has the preview of today's Absolute Power #2, and as you can see below, Booster Gold is pictured on page 2:

Will he be seen on any other pages? Will he have a line of dialogue? There's only one way to find out!

Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

(Thanks to Rob Snow for drawing this to our attention.)

Reminder to everyone: After moving to Tuesdays during the pandemic, DC is back to Wednesday releases starting today.

This would be bigger news if there was a Booster Gold comic coming out today, but today also marks the official start of DC's annual event, "Absolute Power," and unless our hero puts in a cameo in one of the many, many tie-ins (34 and counting so far!), we're not expecting him to make his appearance in that until Wonder Woman #13 in September. ["We" were wrong. See update below.]

So you'll have to find something else to enjoy this New Comic Day. May I suggest those sweet Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez turnaround alternate artist spotlight covers on Batman and Shazam? Or the Kevin Maguire variant cover for Kurt Busiek's new comic? Or Geoff John's long awaited JSA #10?

But I don't need to tell you. If you're reading Boosterrific!, you love comics. I'm sure you will find yourself something to read.

UPDATE: As Rob Snow has pointed out to me, Booster Gold is seen on multiple pages in today's Absolute Power #1. Hooray!
