Why was Justice League International volume 3 cancelled? Probably because by issue 12 it was selling about as well as Booster Gold volume 2 was selling at issue 47.

If Booster can do as well alone, why stick him with a bunch of dead weight like Guy Gardner and Batman? (Note that while our old pal Shag at FirestormFan.com will attribute the sales bump beginning at issue 9 to an appearance by Firestorm, but it's really do to a change in DC's return policy.)

Since Comic-Con International started two weeks ago, I have received repeated requests for pictures of Booster Gold cosplayers. Specifically, fans have been asking for pictures of female versions of Booster Gold. These are typically referred to as Earth-11 Booster Gold or Rule 63 Booster Gold, depending on whether your frame of reference is comic books or the internet. In either event, I know when I'm beaten; your wish is my command.

Above left are Katy Mor and Jettie Monday, respectively, as Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. This pair of professional models have been making a name for themselves as Blue and Gold on the convention circuit, selling some stunning photographs by Bill Nash. Jettie Monday has even written about her experience as Booster Gold for Geek News Network.

Above right are RaeHimura and Demyrie, respectively, as Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Together, this creative pair of dedicated fans have been dressing as the world's best comic duo at conventions for awhile, including in this year's Comic-Con (as photographed by William Tung). Together, they now run their own custom costume shop at Suit Up Productions.

So we won't be seeing Skeets before Justice League International draws to a close with issue #12. Maybe that's because our favorite sidekick is just too busy with its own adventures.

Sadly, this is another comic that should but doesn't exist, as brought to us by Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues. This beauty would be worth the expense at ten times the cover price! (Thanks to The Irredeemable Shag of FirestormFan.com for the link.)

The following blog post has been brought to you by the Super Friends of DC Comics fan blogging: Shag of Firestorm fan site FirestormFan.com pointed out this weekend that Lia of Flash fan site SpeedForce.org posted a video last week from Cartoon Network's Mad that features Booster Gold. (Sometimes tracking Booster Gold, like life, is all about who you know.)

That song sounds to me like something you might hear on TMZ. That's probably fitting for a song including a part by the celebrity-seeking Booster Gold.

For the record, that video, posted to YouTube by Vitouliss, was broadcast in the MAD episode "Al Pacino and the Chipmunks / That's What Super Friends Are For" that originally aired February 27, 2012.

Boosterrific.com now has an RSS Feed. Over the weekend, the Irredeemable Shag of the exceptional Firestorm Fan requested one, and who am I to deny the Formidable Flamehead's biggest fan? You can now read Boosterrific.com every day on your favorite RSS reader. You'll find the feed at feeds.feedburner.com/boosterrific.

A side effect of the creation of the RSS feed is that the Boosterrific.com blog can now be easily exported to Twitter and Facebook. I asked way back in April 2010 if anyone could think of a good reason for the site to have such things. No one did at the time, but now that Shag supports it.... So, anyway, if it is your wont to do such things, follow Boosterriffic here on Twitter and/or here on Facebook.

Boosterrific.com: being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century one day at a time.
