Arriving tomorrow at your Local Comic Shop (but probably not mine) is, to borrow a phrase from DC Comics' official solicitation text, "THE STARTLING CONCLUSION TO KINGDOM OF ZOD!" I guess it must be pretty good to justify all those capital letters.

The preview of Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 available at AIPTComics.com makes it clear that Booster Gold will make at least a cameo appearance in this one-shot final installment of the two-month storyline, so buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

I still haven't seen any of this week's books, but word on the street is that Booster Gold can be seen in (count 'em!) two different trade collections.

The first is Batman by Grant Morrison Book Three, which reprints the entire not-great Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne mini-series that becomes the launch pad for the separate Time Masters: Vanishing Point mini-series reprinted earlier this year in Booster Gold: The Complete 2007 Series Book Three.

The second is The DC Universe By Keith Giffen, which, despite the title, does not reprint every Keith Giffen story taking place in the DC Universe. I don't think there's enough paper in the world for that. But among other selected stories, it does reprint the infamous "One Punch" fight Booster Gold witnessed in Justice League #5. And if you look closely, you'll see Booster Gold is on the cover!

(Yes, that's the same Kevin Maguire image that accompanied Giffen's in memoriam DC house ad in November 2023.)

Thanks to J for making sure both of these were added to the Boosterrific! Database.

My Local Comic Shop is currently having difficulty getting their weekly shipments from Lunar Distribution. This means I can't currently buy or read new DC Comics until days or weeks after their release.

Therefore, I was able to confirm only yesterday that Booster Gold makes no appearance in last week's Superman Unlimited #17. It'll probably be another week before I can get a look at today's Superman #42.

Superman saved literally everyone on planet Earth except Booster Gold in Superman Unlimited #17, so Booster has to be rescued in Superman #42, right? Right?

You'll probably know before I do.
