Pessimistic...Or Just Wildly Realistic?
Who's to say?
Sneak peeks are breaking free of their category this week as this panel from ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #18 (out next week) leads us off. It’s one of my favorite from an absolutely gorgeous issue:
I’ve had a sort of rough week or two, with a series of little bit of bad news — always small — but small stacks up pretty quick, leaving you feeling overwhelmed before you know it. But everything career wise going slightly wrong last week was a good reminder that career-wise things have been going very right for A WHILE now. So, yeah, I was due to get hit. I don’t know if that’s pessimistic or just wildly realistic, but it’s what I came away with.
Let’s get into it, shall we?
Okay. All orders placed before March 3rd went out yesterday (check your Paypal for tracking information if you want to check arrival estimates). Everybody that ordered post 3/3/26, should see their packages early next week.
I’m sorry for the constant delays, guys. The plain fact of the matter is I’m having trouble keeping up simply because you guys are ordering so much — which is a great problem to have — thank you! — I just wish I had some better structures in place to make sure you didn’t have to wait so long.
Anyway, the big batch is out there flinging its way to you and more will be shipping this weekend/Monday latest.
In the meantime, the shop remains open. I have not updated it, but I do expect to have some ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #17 Mega Con Variants in the shop on Thursday, also BIRDS OF PREY VOL 4 Trades, and possibly the ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #18 copies, depending on if they arrive this week.
I’ll also do a new discount code for the shop in the next post!
ETA: I do have some refunds I’m trying to do — mostly for duplicate shipping and a few missing books here and there — but it’s taking forever for Paypal to register my money transfer from my bank — should be able to finish tomorrow though — apologies for the delay!
We knew ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN was going to have a big February with the Annual, issue 17, and the Vol 2 Trade all releasing over a few weeks… but it was an even better month than expected.
We also did incredibly well with our trades, appearing 3 times in the top 20. Including Vol 2 at #3, Vol 2 hardcover at #13, and the Vol 1 at #17. Thank you guys so much! <3
Chris Conroy, Katie Kubert, and yours truly were all interviewed for this cool Imaginary Worlds Podcast.
Comicbook.com did a fun 5-Reasons You Need To Be Reading Absolute Wonder Woman.
Other interesting things that aren’t comics are also still happening in the world — like this article Child’s Play from HARPERS by Sam Kriss may enrage you (it did me) but in a good way? It’s an excellent piece of journalism that deserves a read. Favorite excerpt to entice you:
Colleen Doran wrote an interesting piece about creatives and procrastination. I found out about it as two different people tagged me into it and then my partner sent me an email about it — seems like people think I will enjoy it — or need it! — perhaps both!
As usual there are a lot of great Absolute Dianas out there in the world — and a few Absolute Zees as well!
Super fun. I dig the glowing hands/gloves:
Absolutely adorable (and super clever) from Reddit:
By Tholia, a lovely Absolute Diana done with copic markers. Watch the creation video here.
This has got Diana’s magic arm on the wrong arm, but is otherwise pretty fucking cool by Lee Lazarus:
Very cool by Jonathan Knight:
I posted one of Catterina’s before — but she’s done two more and I think they’re somehow even better than the first one. Love these:
Keeping it in the animation zone — you can watch the Oscar-winning THE GIRL WHO CRIED PEARLS for free right now on YouTube. Great stuff:
I think I’ve got some announcements coming up here shortly and there will be more coming very soon for BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL but for now… ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #18 by Hayden Sherman, Jordie Bellaire, Becca Carey and myself will be out NEXT WEEK. Here are some gorgeous peeks at it:
Okay. Let’s get some cats in here and wrap this puppy up.
New cardboard house, who dis?
Hang in there everyone. <3

I did a small update to the post, but putting it here as well.
For those of you that ordered, I'm still trying to process a few refunds -- mostly duplicate shipping and a missing issue or two. Should be coming within the next 24 hours if you're waiting.
Issue 17 was just AWESOME.🤘I’ve re-read the thing at least a dozen times now, just soaking in everything.
So excited for 18!
