Weekend Website Upgrade

This week's addition to Boosterrific.com is a relatively small one: a search feature. Now site visitors can quickly and easily find content in issue details, annotations, reviews, blog posts, comments, and forums. It doesn't have the most robust system for parsing search queries, and the number of responses returned per search are quite limited to speed up the search. Those limitations aside, it should still be able to get you in the ballpark of your target if you're looking for something that you didn't otherwise know how to find.

New Releases: JLI Volume 5 TPB

Justice League International Volume 5, collecting Justice League International Annual #2 and #3 plus early issues of the JLE, is scheduled for release today. There's definitely some Booster Gold in that. And I'm not making any promises, but it seems very likely that Booster will at least get a mention in Power Girl #20, the events of which take place between Justice League: Generation Lost issues #16 and #17.

And if that's not enough to tide you over until the next Booster Gold release, be aware that I've combined and updated the house advertisements/psa page to try to make them more user friendly. The ads are now easier to find, presented on one page for your browsing enjoyment. Boosterrific.com is always working to serve you better!

Any word on a collected Justice League Antartica?

Heh. I think it's called JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA ANNUAL #4.

according to Newsarama and DC, Time Masters is apparently back on schedule for this week.<br />I have to go to get the Green Arrow issue I missed, so if it is out I will let everyone know on the boards.

Do you mean, like, "this week" today? The store I was in earlier today didn't have it, and it is not on Diamond's ship list for this week (1/19) or next week (1/26). Diamond is the absolute authority on what ships, so I trust their list. DC still has the book scheduled to ship 2/2. If you do find a copy of TIME MASTERS: VANISHING POINT #6, please do let us know.

Will do. Its possible that Newsarama was going by the old schedule...<br />But it is interesting that they had the preview up for it now...adds more to the idea that it isn't because of Dan that the series is being delayed, but the editors

I also suspect TM#6 was ready on time. Jurgens has never been prone to the chronic delays that plague other artists. To be fair, I have heard that drawing/inking/coloring the Flash can be a demanding chore because of the Speed Force effects.

RussBurlingame posted on Jan. 25, 2011 at 1:22 PM
I'm just guessing here, but I'm thinking that the delays in TIME MASTERS are not about Jurgens, Hi-Fi or anything else. I think it's all about Johns, Reverse Flash and Flashpoint. Delaying releases until they can complement what's already out from the Maestro.

Congratulations on 100 Posts!

Not 100 blog posts. No, this blog passed 100 posts last June; it celebrates it's one-year anniversary this week.

I mean congratulations on the over 100 blog posts already in the one-week old Boosterrific Forum. That's far more immediate acceptance than I had expected. Thanks for the support, posters!

You Want It, You Got It: Boosterrific Forum

Greet the week with a new toy: introducing the Boosterrific.com forum. I hope that it will be used to spread the glory of The Man of Gold. Comments will still be allowed for all blog posts. I suspect that most of you probably know how to use a web forum already, so I won't post instructions. Go, use it, enjoy.

Boosterrific Additions

Last week, I asked you, the Boosterrific.com readers, what you would like to see in future Boosterrific updates. Among your responses was this:

How about adding a Board to the page? Right now discussions are limited to the comments sections (and to a lesser degree to fan reviews on the specific issues). -- Morgenstern, Dec. 30, 2010.

To this point, I had specifically resisted adding a forum to this site. I had figured that other comic-related sites (such as DCboards.warnerbros.com) had forums that would fill the needs of those of you who wanted to discuss Booster Gold, his comics and adventures. An empty forum is a sad, sad thing, and I had reasoned that wasn't enough surplus demand for a Booster Gold-centric forum. Besides, who wants to register with a website about a niche comic book character in order to have their opinion heard?

However, the blog portion of this site turns 1 year old later this month. Despite my initial concerns that there would not be enough Booster Gold-related content to fill a daily blog, so far so good. Content hasn't been a problem, and you readers have been very generous and responsive in contributing your time and comments.

So what do you, the Boosterrific.com visitors, think of this suggestion? If any of you think that a Boosterrific.com forum would be a useful or fun addition to the site, speak up. You know that as a capitalist, I'm always interested in responding to market demand.

I understand your concerns, I know that I usually don't get into forums that are just setting up. Of course those are ones I'm partly interested in. I think I visit this site pretty frequently to see what the latest news is. There have been comments that I'd like to expand on and I'm sure there are subjects we all could debate on. So yes, I'd love to have a forum although I do see the problems that could arise. I'm not sure about Booster fans but in general comic fans are a spirited bunch.

Harry posted on Jan. 4, 2011 at 3:11 PM
There are times where I would like to be able to extend a discussion on one of the blog comments. There are times I would like to hear more about fans views of a given issue. However, I find the DC forums to be lackluster and full of spoilers. I also find that I often don't have too much to say. I would need less of an "any thing goes" full out forum, and more of an opportunity for limited and controlled extended discussion.

I'd love to see a Booster Gold forum. I'm always up for discussing BG. Those DC boards are often filled with useless "Write the (blank) story in 3 words" topics, and the BG forum is no stranger to this nonsense either. The people who come to this site are very dedicated Boosterheads, and I feel the discussions would be well thought and much more enjoyable to view.

I'd post in a Booster forum, it'd be nice to be on a more focused forum with few if any trolls

Curt posted on Jan. 4, 2011 at 7:19 PM
This site has become one of my personal I have to check this daily sites, so I would definitely post in a Boostercentric forum. That would be Boosterrific!! Okay, so I'm a geek, I think its safe to say everyone who checks this site out regularly is the next level of amazing from 'normal geek' status.

Kevin posted on Jan. 4, 2011 at 11:39 PM
Personally, and this is just me, I'd do two forums: One for Booster, one for pretty much anything else (movies, music, books, politics, sports, so on and so forth). I am a member of Dansjp3page, a Jurassic Park Fan forum. We almost never talk about Jurassic Park. The open forum has become a large community dedicated to free exchange. It gets lively, interesting and fun. And it helps grow a sense of family.<br />That's just me, personally.

I will post.

I have to say that I am surprised that the response in favor has been so overwhelming. This certainly warrants more investigation on my part. Thank you all for your feedback.

Morgenstern posted on Jan. 5, 2011 at 11:03 PM
Would it be redundant to say that I support the idea?
