Booster Gold spends most of his time in the background of Justice League International Annual #3 as one of many team members taking a world tour of JLI embassies. There's just not a lot of opportunity for him to open his mouth.

But he does get plenty of opportunity to play straight man to his comic foil, Blue Beetle.

As you can see, there's a running gag in this story about Booster making up a fake "Aunt Millie" just to tease Blue Beetle. Is there nothing these two knuckleheads won't do for a laugh? (That's why we love them!)

Believe it or not, the first issue of Booster Gold Volume 2 was published over 16 years ago. Sixteen! If it was a person, it could legally drive a car by now.

(Wait a second. Boosterrific.com was around then. We used to discuss new issues in the no-defunct Boosterrific Forum. Have I really been doing this that long? Golly, how does Booster keep looking so young? I'm aging like a month-old banana!)

Anyway. Booster is long overdue for a new reprint collection, and DC has answered the call. Today, at your Local Comic Shop, you can find this:

If you were buying Booster Gold comics in 2007, you probably already have everything in Booster Gold The Complete 2007 Series Book One, which collects issues #0 through #14 and #1,000,000 (in order of publication). But have you re-read those books lately? Wouldn't it be nice to have them all in one convenient package? (At $29.99, it's much cheaper than the cost of all 16 issues as floppies.)

And if you haven't read Booster Gold Volume 2, what are you doing reading Boosterrific.com? Go! Read!

Buy this trade paperback and make Skeets happy.
