Unless I miss my guess here, I'd say it's almost time for the Akron Comicon 2026 version. The comics geek in me ...
When artist Thom Zahler sent over his first rough for the recent Wayback Wendy cover, I really liked the composition showing Wendy’s older self coming back through a time portal. However, since, in the strip, Ruby Lith and Mindy were talking about the paucity of older women in comic books, I wanted the older Wendy to be demonstrably older and wearing more age appropriate clothing.
When I got Thom’s second sketch, it was immediately green lit for another gorgeous Zahler/Atomik Komix cover.
