I just caught up on Birds of Prey this week, right in time for the series to end. :(

It's easily my favorite team book in comics right now. I've always been a fan of the Birds, and covert ops mission-based storytelling is my jam - but I think the thing I love most about this book is all of the wonderful character dynamics. Dinah & Babs, Dinah & Sin, Sin & Cass, Cass & Barda, Barda & Dinah. Each member of the team feels so alive and fleshed out, that all of the different pairings between them bring out something unique in their character.

Barda and Cass in particular is the best. Long live Small Bat. <3

Thank you so much.

I confess the dynamics between the team are one of my favorite things to do. And BOP has been probably one of the most fun groups I've gotten to play with it.

I do hope Big Barda and Small Bat live forever. ;D

Deepest congrats, Kelly! Absolute WW is one of the best books of the year and my wife squeeees when I come home with the latest issue for us to share. As she'll no doubt do tomorrow. :)

Congratulations on winning the Ringo! Go Kelly! :) Very happy for you!

I can relate to feeling behind...I've been struggling with that myself and I am feeling overwhelmed. It's been an off and on struggle. Sending you my support and very best wishes!

I gotta check out your webstore soon! :) I bought "Power Rangers: Pink" from your store and your store is cool :).

The No Kings Day protest photos are awesome :) I've seen some videos also. So much creativity and they bring some light during these dark times.

Awww Ken is so cute :) I need to get a Ken comic :).

And, I plan to binge through your Absolute Wonder Woman series soon :) (I have the issues released so far but have been busy). I'm excited for Jeff the Land Shark #5 :). Love Jeff! I gotta get the Halloween Special too!

Andor's an amazing show :)

And awwww love the photos of your cats! Have a great day, Kelly! Take care.

Well deserved win! Btw, in your last newsletter, you offered a trade in exchange for a Jeff ltd ed Figpin. Got one for you if you didn’t get one. Let me know.

I do think I already have a couple coming my way, Jose. But I'd be happy to grab yours too if you went to the trouble to get me one -- I really appreciate it. You can email me at: 1979semifinalist @ gmail if you like!

So you won a Ringo? I thought you would be at least a Paul or John!

Congrats on a worthy win!

And Gurihiru doing a combined Gwen and Jeff is always worth the price of admission.

Congrats on your Ringo award. This has been a good year for you, award wise! And you deserve it! Thanks for all the wonderful stories! (as I stare at my Jeff, the land shark plush animal!) Take care of you, please.

Absolute Wonder Woman is for sure the best comic series I've read this year, simply amazing, excited to read the next issue! And Marvel should absolutely send you that Jeff from NYCC. I'm from Brazil and we had some BIG protests weeks prior, similar to No Kings, it certainly brings hope, but something we are trying to push is that this needs to keep happening for it to make more impact, let's hope things get better everywhere.
