For what it's worth, page 9 is probably my favorite full page in 1992's Superman #7. It depicts Waverider taking Superman through the timestream to Vanishing Point. But instead of showing you that page, with nary a Booster Gold in sight, I'm instead going to cheat today and show you my favorite sequence of panels from that issue. Two of them, actually.

First up is this sequence from page 21, in which the Linear Men detail just how important Booster Gold is to DC continuity:

For a long time, that was probably my favorite. But I find I now prefer this sequence on page 3, which in hindsight of how Booster's career has changed over time, reads even better now than it did thirty years ago:

Those are two pretty good sequences for Booster Gold fans in an issue otherwise light on Booster Gold content.

Today you'll find DC K.O. #2 at your Local Comic Shop. As a reminder, this was the last panel in issue one:

Since it's already over and Darkseid has obviously won, why is there a second issue?

UPDATE: Booster Gold also appears (briefly) in Superman #32.

SECOND UPDATE: I've read them now, and I'm frankly amazed that DC keeps finding new ways to make the All In era, now in its second year, less enjoyable. Great job, everyone.

DC released February 2026 solicitations on Friday, and there are three things of note.

1) First and foremost, and this is technically an "April Coming Attraction," they finally solicited direct market retailers for the third and final volume of Booster's 2007 series announced earlier this year prior to Comic-Con International 2025:

BOOSTER GOLD: THE COMPLETE 2007 SERIES BOOK THREE
Written by DAN JURGENS, KEITH GIFFEN, and J.M. DeMATTEIS
Art by DAN JURGENS and CHRIS BATISTA, Cover by KEVIN MAGUIRE
$39.99 US, 520 pages, ON SALE 4/14/26

Booster is back in the past! Mistaken for his (past) self, he is roped into an adventure with the Justice League International! Enjoying the good old days with his bestie Blue Beetle, he must contend with the needs of his past self and the horrors of the present. And when the entire world is undone, will Booster be the only one to remember what the DCU used to be like before the Flash messed it all up?! Collects Booster Gold #32-47 and Time Masters: Vanishing Point #1-6.

2) For a "short" event, DC K.O. will be moving into its fifth month dominating DC's publishing schedule in February, and to no one's great surprise, Booster Gold will be playing some role in DC K.O. #4 (presumably in the "interlude"?):

DC K.O. #4
Written by SCOTT SNYDER, Art and cover by JAVI FERNÁNDEZ
Interlude written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON, Interlude art by XERMANICO
$5.99 US, Variant $5.99 US, ON SALE 2/11/26

Three mysterious new Omega-charged fighters have entered the tournament… and this trinity of the Absolute will change the face of the DCU forever! It’s all down to how far the final four are willing to go to win in the penultimate chapter of DC K.O.! Plus: Booster’s true allegiance revealed, Darkseid's return foretold, and a bonkers last page that will bring the battle to the next level!

3) This third one is a bit of speculation, but based on the solicited cover, it looks like we might be one step closer to reuniting with Skeets in Flash #30.

THE FLASH #30
Written by MARK WAID and CHRISTOPHER CANTWELL
Art by VASCO GEORGIEV, Cover by DAN MORA
$3.99 US, ON SALE 2/25/26

The Speedsters’ race through time has led them to an encounter with a Darkseid from the past, and their escape leads them to a shocking reunion!

You can't trust DC's covers to give any indication of the interior content anymore, but as you can see in that solicitation image, that's ugly-costume Flash and Impulse reaching for Rocky Davis and Ulitvac there on the Dan Mora cover. When we last saw Rocky back in April in the abrupt cliffhanger ending to the Challengers of the Unknown mini-series (written Christopher Cantwell, wink, wink), he was saved from death and trapped in the past with a vision of Skeets. My fingers are crossed that we'll finally find out what the future's best sidekick has been up to since disappearing way back in 2024's DC All In Special.

You can find the full list of solicitations at aiptcomics.com.
