WonderWatch: Women Of Wonder Day is taking contributions. So far the event has raised over $110,000 for Domestic Violence programs in Portland, Oregon and Flemington, NJ.

This year, events will be held at Excalibur Books in Portland, Oregon, Comic Fusion in Flemington, New Jersey, as Heroes and Fantasies in San Antonio, Texas.

It can include media characters such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ripley from Aliens, Marge Simpson, Princess Leia, Sookie Stackhouse, Hermione Granger, or others."

Brothers Uel and Jeff Carter took over Comic Relief's space at 2026 Shattuck Ave. with comic book creator Erik Larsen and started Fantastic Comics in May.
