Over the weekend, pigeon writes

Hi! just wanted to let you know this thing about the booster gold show. david jenkins just deleted his post about writing the show, and unfollowed james gunn, so he might not be writing it. which sucks, because his writing is perfect for a booster show.

Quick refresher for those who haven't been paying attention to the slow-moving fiasco that is Booster Gold's journey to television stardom: Jenkins had been attached to the project since last July (personally confirming the news on Instagram in a post that has now been deleted), making him the latest in a string of many, many writers and producers gained and then lost since a Booster Gold television show was first teased in 2011. (It's almost old enough to drive!)

Like everyone else online, I can only speculate what this might mean for Booster boosters. Is Jenkins really off the project? Was it his decision? Gunn's? Is the pending Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros already churning the waters? Does social media make everyone act like we're all still in middle school?

Although this sounds like bad news, it also sounds like merely the latest speed bump in Booster's very winding road to live-action adventures. Let's hope this isn't a dead end street.

Thanks, pigeon.

A Booster boosters know, alongside former AEW wrestler Excalibur, Booster Gold (and Skeets!) was a ring-side commentator for all the action in DC X AEW #1.

Given that DC X AEW is a two part mini-series, you might think Booster would play the same role in the second issue. And the good new is that he does, as you can read in the very first narrative box in DC X AEW #2:

Only... he must do it behind the scenes. That narrative box is the only mention of Booster Gold in the entire issue. Booster himself (and Skeets!) is neither seen nor heard.

So if you like wrasslin', go ahead and pick up a copy of DC x AEW #2. But if you're only in it for Booster Gold (or Skeets!), you'll have to get your fix elsewhere.

So, have you seen Cover A for this week's Action Comics #1096?

Yeah, yeah. Sure, there's Ghost Superman and a Superboy who wears Chucks and, for some reason, actual shorts. Great. But that's not the Important part.

This is:

When I last overhauled the design of Boosterrific back in 2018, I added a corner box because corner boxes are awesome. I'm glad that DC has finally gotten that memo. I mean, I'm not thrilled that Action Comics now cost $5 a pop, but if I have to pay that price, it's much better that they have Booster Gold on them.

And if you like that corner box drawn by Skyler Patridge as much as I do, keep your eyes out for Cover E, the "Spot Foil Variant" that is all corner box. Yes, it's $8, but it's selectively shiny!

Buy this issue for its cover and make Skeets happy.
