DC released February 2026 solicitations on Friday, and there are three things of note.

1) First and foremost, and this is technically an "April Coming Attraction," they finally solicited direct market retailers for the third and final volume of Booster's 2007 series announced earlier this year prior to Comic-Con International 2025:

BOOSTER GOLD: THE COMPLETE 2007 SERIES BOOK THREE
Written by DAN JURGENS, KEITH GIFFEN, and J.M. DeMATTEIS
Art by DAN JURGENS and CHRIS BATISTA, Cover by KEVIN MAGUIRE
$39.99 US, 520 pages, ON SALE 4/14/26

Booster is back in the past! Mistaken for his (past) self, he is roped into an adventure with the Justice League International! Enjoying the good old days with his bestie Blue Beetle, he must contend with the needs of his past self and the horrors of the present. And when the entire world is undone, will Booster be the only one to remember what the DCU used to be like before the Flash messed it all up?! Collects Booster Gold #32-47 and Time Masters: Vanishing Point #1-6.

2) For a "short" event, DC K.O. will be moving into its fifth month dominating DC's publishing schedule in February, and to no one's great surprise, Booster Gold will be playing some role in DC K.O. #4 (presumably in the "interlude"?):

DC K.O. #4
Written by SCOTT SNYDER, Art and cover by JAVI FERNÁNDEZ
Interlude written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON, Interlude art by XERMANICO
$5.99 US, Variant $5.99 US, ON SALE 2/11/26

Three mysterious new Omega-charged fighters have entered the tournament… and this trinity of the Absolute will change the face of the DCU forever! It’s all down to how far the final four are willing to go to win in the penultimate chapter of DC K.O.! Plus: Booster’s true allegiance revealed, Darkseid's return foretold, and a bonkers last page that will bring the battle to the next level!

3) This third one is a bit of speculation, but based on the solicited cover, it looks like we might be one step closer to reuniting with Skeets in Flash #30.

THE FLASH #30
Written by MARK WAID and CHRISTOPHER CANTWELL
Art by VASCO GEORGIEV, Cover by DAN MORA
$3.99 US, ON SALE 2/25/26

The Speedsters’ race through time has led them to an encounter with a Darkseid from the past, and their escape leads them to a shocking reunion!

You can't trust DC's covers to give any indication of the interior content anymore, but as you can see in that solicitation image, that's ugly-costume Flash and Impulse reaching for Rocky Davis and Ulitvac there on the Dan Mora cover. When we last saw Rocky back in April in the abrupt cliffhanger ending to the Challengers of the Unknown mini-series (written Christopher Cantwell, wink, wink), he was saved from death and trapped in the past with a vision of Skeets. My fingers are crossed that we'll finally find out what the future's best sidekick has been up to since disappearing way back in 2024's DC All In Special.

I'm trying something a little new today. I'm expecting DC's January 2026 solicitations to be released today, so I'm going to go ahead and post this as a placeholder that I'll replace with any news we get about upcoming Booster Gold projects. So stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE: Yep, the solicitations for January came out on schedule, but no sign of Booster Gold anywhere. Given the current state of things, maybe that's for the best.

You can see for yourself at AIPTComics.com.

It's taken over a year since DC solicited the first issue of Justice League Unlimited by teasing the new team would "encompass every hero championing the forces of good in the face of incredible evil!" And we're finally getting an issue with Booster Gold in it.

According to the December 2025 solicitations, Booster Gold will be on the Kevin Wada alternate cover to Justice League Unlimited #4.

Art and cover by DAN MORA
Variant covers by SANFORD GREENE, JEFF SPOKES, KEVIN WADA, and STEVAN SUBIC

As the time-displaced heroes fight for their lives against the towering might of the demonic Neron, Mr. Terrific descends into the cold vacuum of space! But this time it’s by his own design…can Michael Holt team with the rogue agent behind Justice League Red to purge all emotion and coldly calculate the fate of humanity? Grab the tissues, everybody—this issue’s about to break some hearts!

Great! Another fun book from the happy people at DC Comics!

The latest solicitations are out at AIPTComics.com, and it doesn't look like DC Comics is giving Booster Gold fans any reason to buy new comics in November.

Insiders have been teasing future plans in the lead-up to next week's Comic-Con International 2025, and it looks like after the Summer of Superman concludes, readers will next be treated to the Fall of DC.

Marvel Comics' new 12-issue maxi-series The Secret War will be "one of the most significant events in Marvel history ever" promises Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter. Shooter will write the book, in which a number of permanent and temporary changes will be made in many of the major Marvel super-heroes and super-villains.

Oh, wait. Sorry. That was the announcement of was eventually published under the title Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars as it originally appeared in The Comics Journal #85 in 1983.

What I meant to post was the story that The Hollywood Reporter broke this past Wednesday.

Scott Snyder, the writer behind best-selling sensation Absolute Batman, and Joshua Williamson, who writes Superman, are the co-architects of what is being called DC K.O., the story initiative that will debut this fall and run through a main book as well as ripple out through various titles across the DC Universe. Javi Fernández (Batman & Robin, King Spawn) will draw the main series that is being described as a slugfest to end all slugfests. “DC K.O. is a knock-down, drag-out fight between all your favorite DC super heroes in a cosmic tournament to save the universe from Darkseid,” said Snyder in a statement.

Just heroes fighting heroes, then? It's not Marvel's 1984 Secret Wars; it's DC's 2007 Countdown: Arena (or 2015 Convergence). At least no one has actually read those.

Over at BleedingCool.com's article on this announcement is this description of the upcoming event:

While the battles are epic, the emotional center lies with Superman. "Metal was a Batman story, Death Metal was a Wonder Woman story—and DC K.O. is a Superman story," said Williamson. "I wanted to tell a story about Superman looking into his own heart of darkness," said Snyder. "It's a very personal story wrapped in nine layers of candy exploding in your face."

Call me a grumpy old man, but I really do not ever want any layers of exploding face candy.

As this is a Booster Gold fan site and not a general comics blog, I wouldn't be snarking at this groundbreaking news at all if not for the graphic that accompanied the article. See if you can see what I saw. Hint: he's inside the golden circle (fighting Blue Beetle).

AIPTComics.com has identified that art as a crop of the Scott Koblish wraparound variant cover for DC K.O. #1. (Koblish has been doing a lot of those sorts of crowd scene covers lately. They must sell well. I admit I'm buying them; I'll buy any comic with Captain Carrot or Red Bee on it. What can I say? I'm a nature lover.)

Despite not actually being mentioned in the text of any of these articles (by accident or design?), Booster Gold also appears on a couple of other covers in the AIPT Comics article. The first is an alternate cover for Superman #31, which presumably concludes the storyline beginning in next week's Superman #28 as was teased back in May.

The second is the main cover for the one-shot special Justice League: The Omega Act #1. (Booster and Skeets also appear on a variant.) The cover by Pete Woods homages the classic cover of Crisis on Infinite Earths #7, you know, the one where Superman cradles a dead Supergirl, this time with Booster Gold in place of Supergirl. Uh oh. If I may quote SLW:

I mean, you can't be a fan of Booster's without acknowledging the fact that he's kind of the DCU's punching bag, but come on.

So be sure to tell your Local Comic Shop to hold at least one of each of these for you when DC K.O. and its many tie-ins begin arriving in stores this October. They may be your last chance to see Booster Gold alive.

(Thanks, Tiffany. Despite my cynicism and crushing event fatigue—maybe I really have been reading comics for too long—it really will all be worth it if Booster gets a match against "Apokolips Now" variant Superman. That guy sent Booster to an alternate universe and forgot about him! Grr.)
