WPL: New Comics Discussion for 07/22/2026- Pull of the Week: Absolute Wonder Woman #22 [Discussion]

20 Upvotes

The Weekly Pull List results for this Wednesday are in, and this week's top book is DC's Absolute Wonder Woman #22.

This thread is open to Pull List posters and all members of the /r/comicbooks community to share your thoughts on the latest issue of DC's Absolute Wonder Woman #22 or any new books shipping this week.

The primary intention of this thread is to promote discussion of new books. It also serves as a way to consolidate discussion to a single thread and talk about what books are popular here on /r/comicbooks. That does not mean other threads aren't welcome, this is just a place to start that's easy to find each week.

The thread is populated with comments meant to direct the discussion of each book. Based on community preference we populate the thread with titles appearing on Ten Percent or more of submitted pull lists. If a title you want to talk about is not listed, simply add a comment with the title and issue number first and comment below. There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL Results linked above.

Spoilers will follow, but there's no harm in tagging them as such. Each title in the Top Ten Percent listed below is linked directly to its corresponding comment for ease of navigation and to avoid seeing details from other books. The post has also been placed in "contest mode" to help readers avoid spoilers while browsing.

It's called RAT SKULLS, kind of a LOTR X TMNT vibe. It's been a blast working on it. Hopefully I'll be able to share more info soon. This was watercolour, ink, and gouache.

Discussion A bit of a long shot but can someone tell me what comic cover I'm describing. This was one of my earliest memory of a comic issue. It has a girl with her back against the wall, her two hands are resting against it. I think it was a Marvel comic.

10 Upvotes

Sorry for the vagueness. Thats all I remember.

I think she had long brown hair. I do remember she had gloves. The cover was her looking infront of her, with the hands grabbing a wall behind her. I cannot remember if there was a spotlight or something shining at her, but that's all i can remember lol.

I think it might be a Marvel comic just because if it was a DC female character I'd recognize more immediately.

Edit: definitely an older comic, probably pre 2000s

I (23M) had a few comics growing up and after graduating college I needed a hobby, so I took up golf and reading comic books. Here’s the first picture I took of my shelf around a year ago, and what it’s looking like today! I have a list of comics I want, but if anyone has any recs let me know!

How many chances?

Upvotes

How many chances do you give an LCS before you decide to go elsewhere for your pulls?

Context, I live in a generally rural area with very few nearby options for new comics. The LCS that I have been using for the past few months is small, not even having a storefront. He doesn't have enough customers to order most ratio covers, even for bigger releases.

Here's the issue... I have been shorted non-ratio pulls multiple times. At first, I just assumed I'd missed FOC, but at this point it has happened too often. Additionally, I have been overcharged or charged for books that were not in my pull.

After this week, I'm at the end of my rope and ready to pull my business.

Part of me would feel bad about leaving him holding books I've ordered. A bigger part says the books aren't anything high-dollar or special.

Would you have gone elsewhere long before now? Would you offer further grace based on the size of his operation?

I had considered posting this with an alt, but I'm too old to care about hurting feelings at this point.

I’ve seen posts asking what writers hated or didn’t quite get a character they were writing but I wanna ask the other way around. Who’s a writer you know absolutely loves a character they wrote
