Hey All

I hope you had a restful and/or rewarding day yesterday, with friends or family or both, or if you’re outside the U.S., just a normal fantastic Thursday? Whatever you wanted, I hope you got it. And if you didn’t, Jeff is here again to save your Friday at least! (more on that below)

Illustration by Gurihiru to promote SEASON 4 of IT’S JEFF — debuting TODAY!

Before we get back to comics, here was my plate of food that was a joint effort between me and Adam. It’s so rare we prepare food that photographs well, I figure it’s imperative I share:

Adam: Roasted Brussels Sprouts (delish) and Turkey Breast (fantastic, this has solidified that he must now forever make the turkeys when that has to happen. Sorry, dude, don’t be good at things I guess if you don’t want the responsibility?)

Kelly: Homemade Stuffing (bit too salty), Green Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette (nice), Crescent Rolls (Pillsbury, from a tube, always good), Garlic Mashed Potatoes (Hormel, from a fridge/heat and eat, decent), and Deviled Eggs (apologies in advance for this pun: egggggcellent!)

I made mashed potatoes from scratch last year because I love mashed potatoes and my mom’s are DIVINE, but I was wildly disappointed in my effort last year and just… couldn’t be bothered to try again? I am lazy. The rumors are true.

All right. Moving on, I have a few fun things for you guys today, and then THE BIGGEST DISCOUNT CODES I’ve ever offered in my store at the bottom — very EVERYTHING MUST GO! style (aka I really need to clear some room!)

1979 Semi-Finalist is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.


But first!

The triumphant return of JEFF! A new season of IT’S JEFF starts on Marvel Unlimited TODAY. Just what we all need in these stressful times. I believe it’s six episodes (1/week) and then a short break, and then the last six (1/week) in the spring 2025. And I expect we WILL be doing a Season 5 this year too! Jeff continues to dominate! And of course I expect to become even more popular as his first playable game debuts next week — with the new MARVEL RIVALS!

Also, look at that image — the logo did get an update to look more like Jeff! Yay!

And of course if you’re not into the Marvel Unlimited thing and prefer print, I hope you picked up last week’s VENOM WAR: IT’S JEFF — Jeff’s longest adventure yet — a one-shot guest-starring Kate Bishop, Gwenpool, Fuse, and America Chavez.

And of course we had a pretty big release THIS week, with ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #2. It’s getting rave reviews and we’re over the moon with the response (and all the multiple printings!) But I cannot stress enough how much you guys are NOT READY for ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #3. Here’s a tiny tiny taste:

Also, while we’re here, look at this gorgeous Christian Ward variant for ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #4 (Jan 2025). WOW:

AND next week is BIRDS OF PREY #16, in stores everywhere! With maybe my favorite Cass Cain cover of all time thanks to Leonardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire:

There’s a preview up at AIPT for the issue.

And here’s a sneak peek from me… because I will never get tired of seeing Cass Cain climbin’ through vents. <3

And here’s a first look at Juann Cabal’s terrific work from his upcoming two-issue arc “Divide & Conquer” — this is from BOP #18 out in… February? I think that math is right:

So, all previous Webstore Orders have shipped as of 11/27/24 (tracking numbers were uploaded via Paypal as per usual) & all should arrive by early next week, if not earlier.

For the holidays I will be CLOSING THE SHOP on 12/13/24 until the new year. The discount codes below are eligible until midnight 12/12/24 as I want to ensure all shipping is done well before the holidays.

For ALL Subscribers, EVERYTHING is 40% off with the code below — and if you’re a PAID subscriber, scroll down to the paywall for an EVEN bigger discount!

Just enter BLACKFRIDAY24 at checkout for 40% off EVERYTHING. One code per order please.

Please note that while everything on the store is included in the sale, some more recent/current items (like ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN and IT’S JEFF VENOM WAR) have had their base prices raised, which means the discount will help less — but even on those more recent in-demand items, it still should represent a savings.

Thanks for everything guys. Take care of yourselves, and each other.
