Whatever you think about Doctor Who (who turns 50 this year and has indubitably earned his position as the International King of the Time Travelers), the star of this video is the Booster Gold costume!

That star... that cape... that's Booster Gold's original costume! Aaron Wahl, you are Boosterrific!

Thanks to Double Midnight Comics for hosting such a cool Free Comic Book Day and NerdCaliber.com for hosting such a cool video via YouTube.

I'm going to come right out and say it: I don't like George Romero-style zombies. I think they are the least plausible of all monster tropes, dumber even than sparkly vampires that spend their immortal lives doing biology homework. Therefore, I've never read an issue nor watched an episode of The Walking Dead.

That said, I'd like to bring you attention to the fact that YouTube auteur Propjosh, creator of three seasons of "Blue & Gold" comedy shorts, has opened his fourth season with an homage to The Walking Dead.

Because I've never seen a single anything about The Walking Dead, I can't tell you how it stands up to the original, or how it references its source material in any way. I can tell you, however, that there are some pretty funny moments, especially the surprise ending of who is filming whom.

I'm not going to embed the 6 minute video here — I'd rate it PG-13 for adult content — but you can easily get there yourself by following this link to YouTube.com.

Whether zombie films are my bag or not, I have to tip my hat to Propjosh for creating fan-films incorporating Booster Gold. Keep up the good work, Josh!

What If... DC and Marvel had a crossover and all the fight scenes were arm wrestling matches? It might look a little something like this:

I don't care if he is "Invincible," there is no way that old drunk Tony Stark could beat college quarterback Booster Gold in an arm wrestling contest. I'm just saying.

For the record, niteowlfanatic had a wedding where all the guests dressed like superheroes? Yeah, that's awesome. Very awesome, indeed.

Maybe Booster boosters have more to worry about than just whether our hero will ever appear in a comic again.

Think this is a joke? I've been reading comics for nearly 4 decades. I've worked in several comic book shops, and I've never, ever had a girl look me in the eyes and say, "I like Booster Gold." Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Thanks to the Irredeemable Shag! of Firestorm Fan for directing our attention to this public service announcement by Patrick Willems. Knowing, as they say, is half the battle.

The cosplayers you are about to see will not be new to you, but hopefully these videos of their exploits will be.

This first video is from Lumberjack Films at New York Comic Con 2012. I know Aaron Wahl and his award-winning costume have been featured here twice before, but I just thought everyone might like to hear the details and see the whole costume in action. Also, in his interview in episode 33 of the Fire and Water Podcast, Dan Jurgens said that he has never seen a Booster Gold cosplayer with a flying Skeets. Someone please get this video to Mr. Jurgens' attention.

This second video by Distractotron is an assemblage of DC cosplayers from DragonCon 2012. I know that I have shown you Shelley as Booster Gold before, but there is something to be gleaned from the sheer multitude of cosplayers assembling for this photo shoot. I know that cosplayers make up a small minority of fandom, but they really represent well. Congratulations to all involved.
