Just found out I missed the deadline for your CGC signing ecvent😭😭😭😭 hope you do another one. Love your work!!!!

Kelly Thompson's avatar

I'm so sorry. I think, with it being the first time any of us had done this (and the holidays) we didn't promote as much as we should have. But we had a great time doing it and CGC seemed happy, so I hope we'll do another one next year/later this year (?) -- keep your eyes peeled, I'll definitely talk it up on here if we do.

Wonder Woman was always my favorite superhero character by far.

Or better saying, super-heroine.

I don't dislike Batman and the others, but always prefered her.

So thank you for picking my beloved Diana and making a really kick a** run that blows my mind with each number.

She deserves everything.

Read Ab Wonder Woman 15 last night and it exceeded every expectation (and review!). Loved Hayden’s version of Bruce. But really really loved the script. Such a great gift you and the team gave us. Merry all the holidays and best to you in the New Year!

Kelly Thompson's avatar

Thank you so much.

I hope you checked out the Batman issue and enjoyed that as well!

I did and I did! Best team up!

Happy Holidays, Kelly! I'm SO excited for Absolute Wonder Woman #15! :) This is so cool!

Congrats on Absolute Wonder Woman being the top pick of several publications :) Go Kelly!! You're awesome!!

You rock :). I wish you a nice holiday season :). Fingers crossed - I hope 2026 will be better for us both.

"Hug the ones you love and take care of yourselves, it’s a marathon, not a sprint." So true. I've struggled for many years with not pushing myself too hard... I often try to do too much (read, listen to podcasts, etc.) I also like to draw and write sci-fi and fantasy (I'm not sure if I'll publish but I like to write for fun). Both drawing and writing are fun to me, but I can be a perfectionist, and that just leads to more pressure. But your advice reminds me to be kind to myself and not to rush myself. I need to take better care of myself too.

I wish you all the best. :).

I am VERY bad at the marathon vs sprint thing, so I say it as much for myself as anyone else. Glad it resonates for you too. We kinda f'ed up the "hope 2026 will be better" thing already, but it's not wrong to have hope. Hang in there. <3

Alex's avatar

Awww yeah, it's really tough to keep that in mind and implement in our lives (marathon not a sprint). You're absolutely right - definitely not wrong to have hope. Seeing so many in Minnesota and around our country stand up against injustice has given me hope.

Also, thank you very much for your kind response :) Your kindness and encouragement always brightens my day! :)

It looks like a big fight has broken out on reddit over the 3rd preview image. People are arguing over which goddess that is.😂

Kelly Thompson's avatar

I saw that.

They should know better. lol

Happy Holidays Kelly! Hope you and your loved ones are staying warm this time of year. Just finished reading the WW/Bats crossover and what a treat! That splash layout from Hayden is absolute genius (pun actually not intended). It’s incredible seeing the reaction to Zatanna so far! I haven’t seen a reaction like that since, well, WW! Just goes to show how much you, Hayden and Jordie are killing it.

Take care, be safe and warm, and here’s to a 2026 that brings some smiles (and a little bit of sanity). 🥂

Kelly Thompson's avatar

Thanks for everything, Damon.

That first DPS in Absolute WW 15 is one of my favorite things Hayden has done yet -- and there is A LOT of competition. :D

Hope you had a good holiday. <3
