Blue and Gold by Francesco Francavilla
Last week Francesco Francavilla, creator/artist of The Black Beetle (no, not that one), posted the following image on his Twitter feed:
These are dated 2007, so they pre-dated the New 52 but not Blue Beetle's death. If you ask me, 'twas better to have Blue Beetled and lost than to never have Blue Beetle at all.
You can find more art by Francesco Francavilla on his website, francescofrancavilla.com. And if you'd like more info about The Black Beetle (the other one), check out theblackbeetle.blogspot.com.

New Release: No, It's Not Booster Gold
If we want to see Booster Gold in comics again, it would be in our best interest to support the work of Booster's creator and biggest champion, the writer who has scripted more Booster Gold adventures than anyone else, Dan Jurgens. After all, who else can get away with answering Twitter calls for more Booster Gold with a "Bwah-ha-ha?"
DC may have taken Justice League International away from him, but Jurgens landed on his feet with The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Man. Firestorm fans, like the Irredeemable Shag! over at FirestormFan.com, seem quite pleased that Jurgens has jettisoned much of the New 52 re-interpretation of the character to draw Firestorm closer to his pre-Flashpoint roots.
If you're a fan of Jurgens or Firestorm -- or if you just want to keep Jurgens employed until he can tell us who the Black Beetle is -- consider picking up The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Man at your Local Comic Shop today.

Nothing to See Here
No, this is not a post about the new DC logo. Which as I'm sure you would expect, I don't like, mainly because to me it says "facebook digital widget" instead of "imaginative entertainment." Look no further than DC's Twitter feed here to see a practical example of how hard this new design is to read and how little information it conveys.
But back to the original point of this post: as mentioned recently, Boosterrific.com is going through some continued server maintenance. The site will be migrated to a new server at some point during this weekend. This will definitely result in some down-time for the site, and the forum will likely be closed for most of the weekend. Hopefully, everything can be restored to function in its new home by Monday.
In the meantime, everyone try to enjoy your non-Boosterrific weekend, no matter what DC looks like.

The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Goggles
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.

Snap! Sadly Nevermore, Amazing Pencil
Yesterday, Dan Jurgens tweeted some solemn news:
Since 1985? That means that pencil did the work on all 115 comic books penciled by Jurgens that featured Booster Gold, including the entire volume 1 and most of volume 2 of the character's self-titled series. That's also the same pencil that created Doomsday and killed Superman! (And created and killed Waverider!)
Someone save that pen: the Space Museum is getting a whole new exhibit!
