Womanthology: Heroic is the first volume of the Womanthology women's anthology project spearheaded by Renae De Liz. It was released and distributed by IDW Publishing on March 14, 2012. All proceeds went to the Global Giving Foundation.

They raised their goal of $25,000 in production funds via Kickstarter in under 20 hours after its launch on July 7, 2011.[1] By the end of the fundraising period a month later, they had raised $109,301 from 2,001 backers, making it the most-funded comics project and the 25th most-funded project on the site to date.
