This just in! I can still go on and on about my love for Booster Gold. Shocking.

- reply to this post and I will pick six of your icons
- make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose
- other people can then comment to you and make their own posts
- this will create a never ending cycle of icon glee
Ahah, Evil Skeets. Goooood tiiiiiimes. So, like, 52. End of Week 18, it was, if memory serves. Skeets had talked Daniel Carter into investigating Rip Hunter's lab and then went SUDDENLY EVIL and trapped him in it. Everybody, myself included, was pretty WTF about Skeets being evil (it was a pretty long while before it was revealed that Mr. Mind had taken up residence in him, after all!), and there was some talk about him needing a goatee and such, so I took the last page of that issue and scribbled on it some in PSP until I got Skeets in full Snidely Whiplash get-up. I had a larger version of this as my avatar at the Superdickery forums for a while. Such fond memories. This is probably the icon of mine that gets the most attention. I ♥ it.
This is a quote and image from that most infamous of beasts, the Superdictionary. The entry in full is Lex Luthor there striding around like a total doofus with the speech bubble "I have an idea I have a plan in mind. I have lots of ideas. I never run out of thoughts." This is basically my "devious plannings" icon. ...Admittedly, I have, like, 3 or so "devious plannings" icons, but.
This was basically the result of me recognizing an odd trend in characters I liked. Alan Scott, Booster Gold and his sister, Harley Quinn, and Steph Brown all have basically only 2 things in common, beyond the tendency for spandex that many DC denizens share: they are blond(e)s, and they are from Gotham. So I basically drew this icon for scratch, because it's always the dumbest ideas that I actually bother finishing :P
I need a "LOL" icon. All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder delivered quite majestically. For certain, ASBAR-only definitions of "majestic". This quote bubble belongs to Batman. And that's terrible.
Oh, man, I wish I could remember the exact original context for this. It was from one of those cute Transformers comics sites. Either Wheeljack or Grimlock was trying to explain the entire origin of the Dinobots, sourcing from both the cartoon and the comics, I think, all of which is extremely contradictory. And there was this big diagram on a chalkboard with adorable little drawings. Grimlock here is from the chalkboard diagram. I added in the heart myself, mostly because there was too much blank space with just Grimlock there. I tried to make it match, but I'm not sure it worked out too well. My "Chalk Wheeljack" icon is also from the same diagram.
Ahah, my favorite part about this icon is that it is canon. Booster vs. Lex is a not-so-secret love of mine and I do wish it was played with more. There are dangling threads of Supernova vs. Lex that should totally be dealt with! But, uh. Back to the actual icon here. This is from Booster's original series, issue 23. It was a crossover with one of Supes's comics. The basic premise of Booster Gold #23 is that Booster, immediately after getting back from his sister's funeral, is confronted with the sudden fact that Lex replaced him with a robot double while he was away in Dimension X and that his robot double has been talking shit about Supes and is at that very moment beating the shit out of Supes on TV. (The robot has Kryptonite in it, hence it being able to beat the shit out of Supes at all.) So Booster has to go save Supes from his robot double and shit. But, like, at the end of the issue, Lex is having some yacht party or whatever, and Booster totally crashes it, and he's all like, "So, hey, Lex, congrats on winning that company we were in a bidding war over earlier. I was only bidding so you'd pay twice what it was actually worth, though! :D" And Lex is like, "ajkldsfjkla GTFO!" And Booster is like, "O hai, Lex's date. Let me whisper non-descript things in your ear and then raise my eyebrow in that incredibly sexy way that I do while you agree happily before we leave and I suggest that Lex'll never get laid by a real woman ever again! :D" And Lex is like "dfjl;ajkldjkl;as HAET. I will crush this undoubtedly expensive glass while I HAET!" It is great. And that's why I adore Booster vs. Lex more than Supes vs. Lex. Because Supes can't fight Lex on Lex's terms. Booster can. Or, rather, could. I miss businessman Booster. ._.
From doctor-sneeze:
Oh. Tee. Pee. Except not really, but. This is basically the result of me deciding that Ted and Shel would get along smashingly (because they would) and then Fishy made an icon. I'd say it's a shame that it's partially outdated now, but, really, it's only a shame that's it's partially outdated.
Ahah, this icon is basically useless. It's a shot from Week 52 of Booster just kinda chillin' and talking to Doc Magnus while the good doctor fixes Skeets for him. He's doing that thing where he's only partially sitting on something and I like it when he does that. This was basically one of those 'because I can' things.
This panel is not from Extreme Justice, but, rather, the latter comic that explained why EJ JLW disbanded. The panel is of Maxima flouncing epically away from Wonder Woman while Booster and Ted are just like *Facepalm*. It seemed appropriate to make an icon of.
Oh, Dan, you're so cool~! This is, of course, from Booster Gold #6 where Booster and the Beetles bust through into Max's computer room to save Ted from horrible death and Dan's just smirking his little face off and it is great! And clearly icon-worthy, even though I don't use it as much as I should.
It's wee Booster! The original context was a doodle about the subject of Booster probably/possibly going white prematurely based solely on how his dad was completely white at ~40. But I liked Booster's expression out of context, so I colored it and turned it into a "whut" icon. It gets a lot of use on fanficrants.
I have a Unicron figure and have had him for quite some time. When I ordered my Booster and Supernova figures online, I declared that I would take pictures of them locked in ~*epic battle*~ with Unicron once I got them. So I did. And then I made an LJ icon out of it.
