Have you seen this comic?

According to the DC Comics Database wiki, Booster Gold appears in this British reprint of Adventures of Superman #463. Despite that fact, this book does not appear in the Boosterrific database.

While I do make every effort to be complete, there are some things I don't track. Although I do generally include reprints, I limit those to American reprints published by DC Comics.

There are many countries where someone has released licensed reprints of DC Comics' publications. Many of those reprints have been translated into the readers native languages, such as the Italian release of Booster Gold. It's great that DC is expanding their audience across the globe, and I love to know about them. However, those comics are outside the scope of this website.

So if you happen to come across a Booster Gold reprint in a "foreign" language — including The Queens' English — and you're wondering why you don't see it listed here, now you know.

Now that the holidays are past us, I finally had time to update the Boosterrific database to include those pesky Convergence collections. More importantly, I also included a Booster Gold appearance I had missed in 2007:

That panel is from Action Comics #848 (and was reprinted in Superman: Redemption).

Booster booster Logan spotted it over the holidays and let me know that it wasn't indexed here. So everyone thank Logan for making Boosterrific.com better than ever heading into 2016!

When I first added the daily blog to this site in January, 2010, I half-jokingly worried whether there would be "enough Booster Gold related news to blog about on a nearly daily basis." It's taken five years, but at last it appears my fears have come true.

Despite continually being rumored to have a television show or movie in the works, there's no hint our hero has or will appear in Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, or Legends of Tomorrow. He also has gone missing-in-action in DC Comics comic books (152 days and counting). By my reckoning, there has been an average of only one "newsworthy" piece of Booster Gold news per month since June.

It's becoming hard to justify a daily blog devoted to Booster Gold news when there isn't any. Therefore, effective today, I'll be cutting blog posts back to three times a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I believe that this reduced schedule will allow me to maintain a higher quality of post content.

Even though I am cutting back, I remain confident that this latest drought won't last much longer. Booster Gold isn't the sort of hero content to ride the bench for too long.

While looking for something to post here today — it's been a slow month for Booster Gold news even by recent standards — I realized that the character appearance lists weren't being sorted properly.

This was a side effect of Convergence and the sudden need to make all non-continuity appearances report as in-continuity appearances. I've fixed that by simplifying it a bit.

So good news, everybody! There might not be any new Booster Gold to talk about, but at least the old Booster Gold is now easier to find.

The ayes have it. The forum will stick around while we wait for DC to give us something to fill it with.

Last week's poll question: Does this site need to keep its forum? (44 votes)

This question is a variant of a question I first asked over 5 years ago. (Can you believe Boosterrific.com has been running polls for five years? Time flies when you're voting in polls.)
