Two-Hundredth Post. Woo!

Feels both like a huge accomplishment and also like I should be way farther along. But that’s kind of the story of my life (probably a lot of our lives)… so I’m just going to choose to be happy about this number and move on to sneak peeks and website codes, which is what we all really want anyway.

Let’s do a sneak peek right out of the gate. This is from next week’s ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #6 by me and Mattia DeIulis and…look at this fucking awesome lettering by Becca Carey, so beautifully metal:

Shipping updates! A small batch went out last week, and another batch (everything ordered prior to 3/16/25) went out today — so if you’re expecting something and don’t have it yet — check your Paypal for your tracking number. And if that doesn’t work, just shoot me an email.

Those special ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #1 Stanley “Artgerm” Lau variants I mentioned last time are up in the store now — there are about 5 of the non-foil version, but only 2 left of the Regular Foil and Artist’s Edition Foil (spot color sold out), so if you were interested in one of those please don’t delay:

I had a lot of people interested in JEM & THE HOLOGRAMS lately, and through the process of helping Adam get ready for the Portland Frankenstein Comics Swap, I ended up finding some extra Jem in some of my personal boxes. I went ahead and made a few bundles in case any of you were interested. They’re not super cheap as these issues tend to be out of print and hard to find, but I tried to keep it reasonable.

And here’s a new webstore code for all subscribers. And if you’re a paid Subscriber, scroll to the bottom of the post for a better discount code.

I mean, Jeff is traveling the world. AND he got a photo with Chip. Are you kidding me?

Okay we’re all really here for the Sneak Peeks, so let’s get into it.

Two more panels from ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #6. Just absolutely stunning stuff from Mattia. I hope you guys love it. This is out NEXT WEEK - 3/26/25!

And the week after that is BIRDS OF PREY #20, the start of an exciting new arc and the return of Sami Basri to the book! I’m just gonna lay down some of my favorite little bits that aren’t too spoiler-y. Sami draws such gorgeous Birds it’s almost unfair:

And some gorgeous color pages from Sami and colorist Adriano Lucas:

I’m not sure when the new IT’S JEFF starts up on Marvel Unlimited, but I THOUGHT it was in March, so in hopes that I’m right about that, let’s look at panels from a few upcoming stories. These are all drawn/colored by the incredible Gurihiru:

The much celebrated return of Gwen to a two-part strip that I THINK will kick off the season?

This is one of my favorites of this season:

More Jeff water adventures, those always end well, don’t they?

Sometimes it’s the simple things.

And a TINY taste of what Hayden’s already already kicking up on ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #8:

So much cool stuff you guys. Thanks for helping me make it. <3
