Absolute Wonder Woman Annual 2026 #1 Review

Artist & Colorist: Mattia De Iulis

Like all the best heroes, Diana's thoughts are always for other people. Yet helping others has painted a target on her back. Even when villains seek to hurt or subjugate others, Diana helps and protects them. Where will Diana's compassion lead her next? And how much danger will she brave to free someone from another’s control and oppression? Let’s pray for wisdom, leap into Absolute Wonder Woman Annual 2026 #1, and see!

 

Story

Diana wields the Athena blade forged by Hephaestus. The princess of Themyscira rides Pegasus and can conjure the darkest magicks. When a danger threatens that even she cannot defeat, Diana borrows another woman's plight to protect our world. But the curse, and the woman's pain and anger, overwhelm Diana. Only Steve Trevor's bravery and loyalty help Diana remember who she is and escape Medusa's curse.

 

So, in Absolute Wonder Woman Annual 2026 #1, Diana appeals to Athena. Thanks to emergency alerts in the Hieron, Diana can fly off to battle monsters and protect people at a moment’s notice. But when she returns, instead of recuperating from her efforts, Diana finds a quiet place and prays.

 

Kelly Thompson equates mythology with history in her story, reminding us that our understanding of the past comes from the victors. We hear Diana’s thoughts as she speaks with Athena and undergoes her trial. Like when she sought out Prometheus, Diana’s trial will be arduous. But this time, the stakes are higher.

 

Diana grew up in the underworld. Zeus stripped her of her people and her heritage. Apollo robbed her adoptive mother of the power to speak her people’s name. But Diana's heart was so full of love that she projected it at everyone she met. Even though her mind and spirit differed from theirs, Circe and the gods fell under her spell. After experiencing Medusa's anger and pain, Diana knows how those emotions have imprisoned her. So, in Absolute Wonder Woman Annual 2026 #1, Diana risks her life to free a monster, hoping Medusa will embrace a better future.

 

Art

Amid dramatic rescues and battles, Diana kneels and lays her face and arms upon the ground. After battling villains and monsters to rival the Tetracide amid smoke, fire, and flood, Diana ventures to the garden surrounding the Hieron. Or she ventures to a circular patio guarded by broken columns, where she kneels before an urn spilling blood onto the stone pavings. When Athena answers, yellow and white energy evokes Hecate. But when Diana meets her, Athena is resplendent in gold.

 

Mattia De Iulis adorns his art in Absolute Wonder Woman Annual 2026 #1 with a loaded palette of strong colors that pulse with as much vitality as Diana's heart. Red links the blood Diana sheds for others with the tattoos on her magical arm, the light that burns through her helmet eye holes, and the realm she must traverse to reach Athena. But green also forms a theme, linking the verdant plants surrounding the Hieron with the vibrance of Athena's realm, and her lasso of transmogrification with the gorgon she wishes to help.

 

Becca Carey uses white block letters to differentiate time and place. Uppercase black letters occupy white dialogue balloons. Diana's thoughts fill white narrative boxes with WW in the top left corner. Athena's words glow white within orange balloons, while Medusa's larger font distorts balloon borders. Sound effects enhance screeching, screaming, violent impacts, rapid air currents, and claws seeking purchase as an angry monster threatens to squeeze the life from a compassionate hero. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Memories define us and color how we see the world. Yet everyone's recollection of the same event may differ in profound ways. While attempting to aid a soul in torment, Diana struggles to reconcile the god she knows with the stories others have collected about her in Absolute Wonder Woman Annual 2026 #1.

 

Rating 9.8/10

The selection is part of PAFF SOUL, the festival’s 34th anniversary theme highlighting the emotional, spiritual, and cultural core of Black storytelling. The 2026 festival features more than 100 films from across the African Diaspora and runs February 7–22, making it the nation’s largest Black History Month cultural event.

Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh take on a hitman in trouble!

 

Professional hitman Eddie Stallion has messed up. He’s accidentally robbed the Raven, a high-ranking boss of the international cabal of assassins the Menagerie, of which Eddie is a member…or he was.

 

Now, with a price on his head, Eddie chooses to hide in the one place everyone knows he’d never go…the small midwestern town of Pluto, home of his estranged father and known hard-ass George Stallion. Looking for safe harbor, Eddie instead finds his resentful father dying of cancer, old friends looking to collect that bounty, Menagerie assassins who have wandered into town, a cancelled newspaper comic-strip creator turned local crime lord, and oh yeah, his childhood first love, too.

 

Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh, the team behind Peacemaker Tries Hard!, present the story of a man-child assassin with some very grown-up problems. As Eddie grows more attached to the people of Pluto, he’ll have to step in to solve those problems the only way a hitman knows how!

Lenore: Wedgies HC Review

 

Writer, Artist, Colorist & Letterer:

Publisher: Titan Comics

Price: $17.95 US/£12.99 UK/$21.50 CAN

 

Included In:

Boxed Set: 336 pages, FC, $59.99

ISBN: 9781787748507

Release Date: November 11, 2025

 

Just because she’s dead doesn’t mean Lenore can’t have fun. Nor does the embalming fluid flowing through her veins preclude her from befriending others. Yet, like all significant events in our lives, death changes us. How does Lenore seek greater connection with others? And how does she see her place in the world? Let’s leap into Lenore: Wedgies HC and see!

 

Story

After she revived, Lenore's family abandoned her. So, Lenore opens this volume by rewarding the people who have befriended her. Unfortunately, Mr. Gosh isn't on the guest list because he wants more from their relationship than Lenore is willing to give. But Lenore knows how to deal with party crashers.

 

Lenore’s brain will never develop into adulthood. Still, this means she never loses her childhood fascination with the world. Like any child, Lenore wants toys and pets. But without an adult’s supervision, she plays too roughly with them. Her short attention span also leads to avoidable accidents. Having crossed the chasm separating life from death, Lenore doesn't understand why anyone should fear the inconvenience of death.

 

The stories grow longer in this second collection of Lenore comics. While still including one-page slices of life, humorous musings, or reflections on society, Roman Dirge grows more comfortable as a storyteller in Lenore: Wedgies HC. One story extends twelve pages, while another lasts thirteen, as Roman fills out Lenore's world and paves the way toward devoting a complete Lenore issue to one story.

 

As in Noogies, Lenore doesn’t feature in every story. Roman Dirge's Things About Me also becomes a regular feature. Roman shares anecdotes from his magic shows, relationships with his friends, memorable dates, and even an incident from his marriage. Like Lenore, Roman's tales demonstrate how easily others can misunderstand us. But by sharing his journey with us, and highlighting the wacky aspects of life, he grants Lenore a place in our hearts in Lenore: Wedgies HC. 

 

 

 

 

Art

Roman Dirge opens each of the four issues included in this volume with two covers. Most pages contain six to ten panels with straight or wobbly borders. Stories often boast a decorative title panel or a cover of their own. While most stories feature Lenore in her white-and-black dress, she occasionally wears hats or tries on other clothes. But Lenore is particular about what she wears and seems most comfortable in her burial dress.

 

As a cast of hundreds invades Lenore: Wedgies HC, Roman Dirge meticulously recolors his original black-and-white comics. Lights create glows, while people and objects cast shadows. Characters and backgrounds also show depth, imbuing a sense of realism into Lenore's fun but macabre world.

 

Black letters of various sizes inhabit dialogue balloons and narrative boxes. Roman Dirge also writes letters into panel backgrounds. Sound effects heighten Lenore’s attempt to make friends, have fun, or cringe in horror when something frightens her. Additional stories and Dope Ass Tattoo pages round out this tastefully bound volume. Thanks to Titan Comics for providing a physical copy for review.

 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

Without parents to instruct her in the consequences of her actions, Lenore's harmless fun may have tragic results. Still, as she seeks to understand her world by channeling the power of beloved children's stories, fairytales, and songs, Lenore also tries to fix what's broken. After reviving the spirit of a vampire imprisoned in a doll, Ragamuffin repays Lenore with his friendship. The undead doll helps the embalmed girl navigate the ups and downs of her unlife in a world that disowned her in Lenore: Wedgies HC.

 

Rating 9.8/10
