RIP Peter David. I'm probably not a comic book writer today without reading Peter David's X-Factor #87 when I was younger. It opened my eyes to superheroes in ways I hadn't really considered until that moment. Though I didn't know him, he left such a mark on my life and I'll always be grateful.

News is out! It’s such a joy and honor to do this short with @gurihiru.bsky.social Thanks to all of you for making Jeff such a star that he’s the character getting this historic opportunity. 💙

I did not know Jacopo Camagni well, we only worked on one 3-issue story together for Captain Marvel but he was an incredible talent. Our silly CM arc is but a tiny footnote in his fantastic, interesting career, cut far too short. I'm honored to have gotten the chance to work with him. RIP Jacopo. ♥️

My last tease about today's issue. I see a few people upset Zee dipped so quickly. But she's in every issue of this arc so don't count her out just yet.

Also, I know some folks are having trouble reading Zatanna's backward text, and listen, as the person who has to write it, I feel you, it takes some extra work. HOWEVER. The trick is -- since only the words are reversed, not the order of words -- try to force yourself to read one word at a time.

Don't read this tweet until after you've read Absolute Wonder Woman #17 . . . . . . . . Zee's escape is more than just escape -- what had she done to Diana that might hinder Diana? Is there a reason for her to dip in the middle of a fight BEYOND simple escape? All the clues are here, guys!

Absolute Wonder Woman #17 out now (and much more)! Art below by @cleanlined.bsky.social colors by Jordie Bellaire, and lettering by @beccasee.bsky.social 1979semifinalist.substack.com/p/the-bigger...
