Tough crowd!

Last week's poll question: Which element is most important to defining the character of Booster Gold? (54 votes)

There hasn't been a lot of Booster Gold news lately. As a result, the Boosterrific.com Forum has become a bit of a white elephant. It's never really become a destination for conversations as I had once hoped, and it's been a desert wasteland in recent months. While the forum has its uses when Booster is in the spotlight, I don't like to see pieces around here collecting dust. Has the time come to shutter its doors?

If even die-hard Booster Gold fans won't buy comics just because Booster Gold is on the cover, who will?

Last week's poll question: Will you buy a comic just because Booster Gold is on the cover? (54 votes)

Convergence seems to be all about DC's version of Secret Wars, so which versions of Booster Gold do we want to see meet one another?

For reference, these are the Boosters I'm talking about:

• The Alliance Booster Gold seen in Justice League America Annual #10 (1996)
  
• Justice Riders Booster Gold (1997)
  
• "Greatest Story Never Told" Booster Gold from Justice League Unlimited (2004)
  
• Black Booster Gold from Tangent: Superman's Reign (2008)
  
• Live-action Booster Gold from Smallville (2011)
  
• Rooster Gold (2014) of Earth-C-Minus

The first thunderstorm of the season rolled through yesterday evening, and it took my modem and router with it. That means no post today because I am not typing any more than necessary from my phone. Enjoy April Fools day without me.

You guys visit more often than Google does, so I'm going to try to keep you happy.

If you couldn't tell from the "Movie Poster Variants" on shelves this month, DC has fallen in love with variant covers. (DC may be celebrating the 80s with Convergence, but their marketing strategy is clearly from the 90s.) But do all these alternate covers that have nothing to do with contents work to sell more comics?

I'd like to end the week with an extra special thank you to Logan Peterson and Shawn Baston, without whom the Boosterrific.com database wouldn't be nearly complete enough.

These two eagle-eyed Booster boosters notified me about our hero's cameos in Secret Origins #10 and Grayson #6.

No Booster Gold collector needs to feel bad if their collection never includes either of these minor appearances, but we're all better off as a community because we have people like these two watching out for the rest of us. Thank you!

[UPDATE 2015-03-26: Kenneth Baillargeon tried to tell me about the Secret Origins appearance on Facebook the week it came out, but I didn't spot that until just now. I'm sorry for not crediting you earlier, Kenneth. I'm not good with the Facebook. (Because, yes, I'm a grumpy old man.) So if anyone needs to reach me, you can find me at webmaster at boosterrific dot com.]
