Why Friday the 13th is Scary
Aaah! It's Booster's evil twin from the Power Posse (as seen in JLA Classified #8)! But, no, this "cosplay" posted on the tumblr blog of Cool Guy Errant isn't what makes today so scary. No, that honor goes to the news that one of today's DC Comics panels at Comic-Con International will be devoted to a love-fest for the New 52. *shudder*
4:15-5:15 DC Comics-The New 52— DC Comics-The New 52 and The New 52 Wave 2 are the industry's most talked about industry-shattering events. Although the landscape has changed, we're not done making news! Be a part of history as panelists discuss what's coming next in this exciting time for DC Entertainment.
With both Dan Jurgens and DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns on today's panel, maybe we might finally learn what Booster will be up to after Justice League International. Keep your fingers crossed, Boosterphiles!

Booster Gold, the Total Package
In addition to being a good source for publisher news and great deals on comics and art, comic book conventions are a great place for fans to get together with other fans and creators and celebrate their heroes. Sometimes, fans go so far as to dress as those heroes. This can lead to awkward situations.

The above autobiographical strip by artist and last week's Boston Comic Convention attendee Erica Henderson illustrates a significant reason why many of us can't, won't, or shouldn't dress like our favorite super heroes in our daily lives. There is a lot of truth in this cartoon.
One of these things is not like the other. The Booster Gold cosplayer on the left won the award for "Best Comic Book Hero Costume Honorable Mention" at BCC 2012. It's a great costume, even if it does suffer from a case of the unmentionables. If nothing else, it reminds us why Booster Gold must look different on television than he does in the comics. That is, unless they can find an actor who is really willing to sacrifice a part of himself for the role.

The Shirt Off Their Backs
What do super heroes do in their down time? Same as you and me, I expect. They kick back and play some games with their friends.
Of course the ladies are winning: Zatanna never plays fair!
The above image of Poker Night in Gotham (between Zatanna, Black Canary, and Lady Blackhawk versus Hal Jordan, Nightwing, and Booster Gold) was commissioned from Caanan Grall for The Happy Sorceress. You can find more of Grall's work (and commission some of your own) on Occasional Comics Disorder or at his pages on Deviant Art. (Check out Grall's Deviant Art gallery for a clever Weekend at Bernie's visual gag featuring everyone's favorite dead Blue Beetle.)

Rolling Back the Years
According to DC Women Kicking Ass, the rumor that DC will be re-numbering all titles again has been confirmed at this past weekend's Boston Comic Con:
This afternoon at the Boston Comic Con a number of creators in the new 52 discussed various aspects of the reboot while confirming the story from Bleeding Cool earlier this week that DC will issue "0" issues in September that will feature origins or stories about the characters or their casts that happened before issue #1.
Is re-numbering to become an annual ploy with DC, or do DC's editors really think that 1994's Zero Hour crossover gimmick deserves a 18th Anniversary edition? For the record, this will be the third #0 issue to feature Booster Gold: Justice League International #0 in 2012, Booster Gold #0 in 2008, and Extreme Justice #0 in 1994 (which, running counter to DC's practice of interrupting sequences with randomly placed zero issues, was actually published before Extreme Justice #1)!
On the plus side, if there is ever a time to find out how much of Booster Gold's history and supporting cast survived Flashpoint, it'll be a zero-issue origin story. Oh, Skeets, why have you forsaken us?

Laundry Day
I found this some time ago at supermannerd.tumblr.com and have been looking for a reason to post it. Today, I decided I was done waiting.
I don't know who made this or why. I just know that it's damn awesome.
UPDATE 05/09/12: DustinWildcard dropped by the comments section to take credit for this work, "DC Comics Minimalist Posters." You can find more of his work at his DeviantArt.com page (under the alias Dustin Von Doom) or his tumblr blog, Comics! Comics! Comics!. Great work, Dustin.
