This story was very popular, and I loved working on it with Gail Simone. We co-created the character Star-Blossom, and I was super disappointed that DC didn't do anything further with the character.

Utterly baffled, really.

Anyway, you can get the collected Wonder Woman 750 HERE, but also please ask at your local retailer.

“I can now say with absolute confidence that many AI systems have been trained on TV and film writers’ work. Not just on The Godfather and Alf, but on more than 53,000 other movies and 85,000 other TV episodes: Dialogue from all of it is included in an AI-training data set that has been used by Apple, Anthropic, Meta, Nvidia, Salesforce, Bloomberg, and other companies. I recently downloaded this data set, which I saw referenced in papers about the development of various large language models (or LLMs). It includes writing from every film nominated for Best Picture from 1950 to 2016, at least 616 episodes of The Simpsons, 170 episodes of Seinfeld, 45 episodes of Twin Peaks, and every episode of The Wire, The Sopranos, and Breaking Bad.”

Quite interesting wing scenes, in one it's Eden Crowley doing the wing thing and in the other it seems as Fallen Azi and Angel Crowley? 🧐🤔

Is it a spoiler (a clue? :D)? Is the second thing a homage to the fact that Michael should have originally play Crowley? Rooooob! :D <3

Yes, I know Amazon is the devil, but this link is a great place to find books by me with info.

Since I live in a rural area with no access to most stores, I use Amazon.

Good Omens graphic novel prelims from various stages. My work is drawn by hand and colored in Photoshop.

I’m working with color assistants but color direction is all by me, many pages are colored entirely by me, and some pages are extensively overpainted by me. It’s essential that every page meets a quality standard and there is no stylistic variation in the work.

Super grateful for the color assistance from Sean Lee, Logan and Lisa Lubrera, and Daniel Junior.
