Coming Soon: Justice League Unlimited 14
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.

Sad Trombone
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.

Who Gets the Black Costume This Time?
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.)

Coming Soon: Superman #30
Judging by how many people wrote to tell me about this, I assume most of you already know. But for posterity's sake, this was in the DC Solicitations for September 2025:
SUPERMAN #30
Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON
Art and cover by DAN MORA
$4.99 US | 32 pages | ON SALE 9/24/25
Superman has found the mysterious hero known as Booster Gold. Together, they must return to the present day to warn the Justice League, but Darkseid’s Legion stands in the way. The shocking events of this issue lead into next month’s massive next chapter in the all in saga!!
We already had reason to believe that Booster would be seen in Superman #28 in July, when this storyline begins. Should we also expect to see our hero in Superman #29? I guess we'll know in August.
It should be noted that DC has also solicited for The Human Target: The Deluxe Edition hardcover, which we already know includes Booster Gold, so we can keep an eye out for that this November.
You can read these and all the other solicitations at AIPTComics.com.
Thanks to all who made sure I didn't miss this.

Coming Soon: New History
DC released its monthly solicitations for August late last week, and Booster Gold (and Skeets!) was seen again, this time on the $9.99 variant Scott Koblish wraparound cover for New History of the DC Universe #3.
(I'm a little embarrassed to admit how many of these characters I can name on sight.)
NEW HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #3
Written by MARK WAID
Art by DOUG MAHNKE and DAN JURGENS
Legacy variant cover by SCOTT KOBLISH
$5.99 US | 48 pages | 3 of 4 | Wraparound variant $9.99 US (card stock)
ON SALE 8/27/25
Following the cataclysmic events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the DC Universe is forever changed. Torches are passed as legacy heroes like Wally West embrace the mantles of their predecessors, heroes like Hal Jordan are tempted by darkness, and the Justice League faces formidable new threats such as Doomsday, Black Hand, and Superboy-Prime. Narrator Barry Allen recaps these events through his return, ending with the cataclysmic Flashpoint!
Given that this issue is focused entirely on events that took place between Crisis on Infinite Earths and Flashpoint (a period of time in which its narrator, Barry Allen, was *ahem* dead), plus that fact that Dan Jurgens credited on art, I think it's very, very likely that Booster will also be seen between the covers as well.
Also in the solicitations is a third volume of Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle reprints, which will include all of Jaime's backup stories from Booster Gold volume 2 and, importantly for Booster boosters, his Blackest Night team-up with Booster Gold against... Dead Ted! (As originally presented in Booster Gold Volume 2 #26 and #27.)
A complete list of August solicitations can be found at AIPTcomics.com. Thanks to all who made sure I saw these.
