The 600 List!

[ScottyQuick]

Okay, so I'm sure you all know by now that Wonder Woman #45 will be the 600th issue of her series. Carol Strickland suggested a postcard campaign to convince DC to honor the Amazing Amazon's Anniversary, and Dan DiDio (http://www.dccomics.com/dcu/news/?cat=5877) said "okay, that's cool", BUT, there is a catch: we need to mail in 600 postcards, address:

Dan Didio
DC Comics
1700 Broadway
New York, NY 10019

(please correct me if I'm wrong!)
saying "WW #600" and if you want, a small message at the bottom.

So, let's keep tally of how many people have mailed in postcards! Post here if you have, and be sure to mention if one of you convinced one of your friends/relatives/dentists/strangers to mail in a postcard.

Diana is epic, there's no doubt about that. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the three of them are epic, they're long-running, they're icons. She deserves to have a book with an epic number as well.

You forgot they have to go to Dan DiDio, but that's okay because in the back of every book this month he also has this message.

ADUR!

-foreheadpalm-

Did you mail one in?

[RealWonderman]

I did...it was a while ago, and I'll be sending more...but add me to the list!

[4PointOh]

I did...it was a while ago, and I'll be sending more...but add me to the list!

Multiple entries from the same person count as "one" according to Dan DiDio.

[Raharu]

Is this for real? Are they really going to decide to renumber the book based on 600 postcards asking them to? That's really stupid. Whatever, if it's for real I probably will, too

Yup, it's for real! And you totally should!

[King Rockwell]

Multiple entries from the same person count as "one" according to Dan DiDio.
Same address, not same person. There could always be multiple people with the same name.

[RealWonderman]

I think we could catagorize this as "for real"...I think it will happen now (though the plan was for this NOT to happen originally) either way, but this makes for a lot of free publicity (if you wanna call it that)

[knowwonder]

I was part of the original wave, in which I sent out three.

I will get 97 others out if I have to make up an alias for every single damn one.

[Kurt Busiek]

Dan DiDio
1700 Broadway, 7th Fl.
New York, NY
10019-5905

(please correct me if I'm wrong!)

It would probably be less confusing to the mailroom to have the address as

Dan Didio
DC Comics
1700 Broadway
New York, NY 10019

The "7th Floor" thing doesn't matter much; DC is spread across several floors. The name of the company would be important, though.

Yeah, it's kinda sad that DC would need a 'push' in honoring one of their own, ICONIC, characters! I mean, this should just be a given, right?

[Kurt Busiek]

Yeah, it's kinda sad that DC would need a 'push' in honoring one of their own, ICONIC, characters! I mean, this should just be a given, right?

Because they should AVOID the opportunity for free promotion for the book?

If they just went ahead and did it, they get one press release out of it. This way, they get two or three, pointing out that WW's a classic character, that she's reaching a milestone and that she's got a passionate fan base.

These are not bad things to turn into free promo.

kdb

[ScottyQuick]

But seeing as how only 3 people have sent postcards, I guess she doesn't have that big a fanbase after all :(

Also, it occurs to me that I shouldn't have posted because now people will go "oh, it's just that Scotty brat" whereas before it's like "!, Kurt Busiek?"

[Stanlos]

I sent mine in!

[Mart]

Mine went in too.

[nightforce]

I sent mine in yesterday, And I am going to play dirty pool. Well Sort of.

I have a few people who are sending in cards as well. One reads Green Lantern but doesn't like Wonder Woman but he is doing me the favor and my other friend doesn't read comics at all and she is sending one in as well.

[suedenim]

I sent in a postcard!

[americanwonder]

I sent mine in yesterday, And I am going to play dirty pool. Well Sort of.

I wouldn't call that dirty pool - I'd call it campaigning! :wink:

I sent mine in a week or so ago. I also asked several family members and friends to join in. Hmm, who can I hassle next? :tongue:

[Gaelforce]

The Husband and I each sent one in :)

[4PointOh]

They're up to 175:

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2009/09/16/weekly-wonder-woman-tally-175/#comments

[korok]

I sent my card in! :smile:

[glennsim]

I didn't have a postcard, so I sent in a small envelope with the message on the back. I'm sure that will count.

[Rev. Calibos]

Sending mine tomorrow.

[Raharu]

I guess you can go ahead and put me on the list. I'll probably send one by the end of the week. I still think it's silly, but apparently it's free promotion so I'll probably do it because I think they really should renumber WW.

I know what you're saying Mr. Busiek, the idea just sounds...dated, to me.

edit: sry, not trying to be the sourpuss here, and ruin the fun.

[srhanson]

I've sent mine and have encouraged others via the Facebook group to do the same.

[Karl O'Neill]

I will buy a postcard tommorow and send it dan didio's way.

[Franklin]

I sent one in about a month ago, and I also made a friend of mine send one in.

[tollivercs]

Just scanned in the 1984 Perez JLA Wonder Woman postcard (which doubles as my avatar) and will mail in the scan tomorrow to join the effort. (Hanging on to that original card, though!) :smile:

[another_version]

This just seems like a way for Dan to not look like he backed down on his comments bout re-numbering issues, now that he has seen the popularity of Marvels re-numbering. I mean it's cool and all, but obviously he wants to do it, so why not just go out and say it, instead of saying that it is up to the fans. What does Gail think about this?

[Kangas-IN-Space]

I sent mine in last week and had three friends fill out one each:smile: . Is there a dead-line when we'll know for sure if our efforts paid off? I to would like to hear Gail's opinion about about all of this. Is it something she's looking forward to if it happens?

[CarolStrick]

We're up to an official count of 324.

[spark627]

I think it is pretty great that within only 2-3 weeks of officially announcing the contest, we are more then half way there!

[knowwonder]

YAY!!

I see MINE!! Two of the three are in the second picture side-by-side, bottom right in my handwriting!

So, guess what? This means, "YES": we most certainly CAN send in mulitple cards for this campaign!!

[LittleMissVixen]

Totally forgot that I actually had the collectors set of Wonder Woman post cards. So, my boyfriend and I dropped ours in the mail this evening :)

I am excited I finally got a chance to use them, lol.

[BrianT]

So, guess what? This means, "YES": we most certainly CAN send in mulitple cards for this campaign!!

Just because they tacked it to the wall doesn't mean it's a part of the tally. I don't recommend sending multiple cards. Didio explicitly asked that we do not do so.

--------
I mailed one today.

[Donna M.]

Put me on the list, I popped mine in the mail about an hour ago.

[Nyssane]

I sent one in today! <3

[Melbourne Mew Mew]

Just found out that Didio has cancelled his appearance at Armageddon in Melbourne. I was hoping to give him my postcard in person there.

(Geoff Johns has cancelled as well. Oh, well, we're getting Greg Rucka and Peter David instead, so it's not all bad)

[West Mantooth]

This is actually a pretty clever marketing tool. The tally keeps the WW title on the Dcublog every Wednesday so even people who don't follow the title will know the 600 issue is coming.

[invisiboy]

Is everyone here in favor of renumbering Wonder Woman starting with 600? Personally, I think it's silly. Sure, she's been published a lot but also canceled a lot. I don't really see how her latest title deserves renumbering to include every WW title ever. It's like DC is lumping her in with the long-running Superman, Detective and Batman titles, even though those have been more consistently successful.

She hasn't really been cancelled at all.

Wonder Woman volume 1 was suspended until the Post Crisis reboot. DC decided to reboot v2 into v3 in an effort to get new readers. There was never a cancellation at all.

Wonder Woman has never been canceled. She was rebooted (as was basically everyone) after the Criss. And Volume 2 ended and immediately restarted in an effort to revitalize the character.

[Lynda_Carter]

I sent mine out today and I have a feeling Dan is going to LOVE my postcard! I can't wait for Wonder Woman 600!!!!!!

I apologize for my ignorance. If her title's never been canceled or suffered gaps in publication, then, yes, she shoudl get the larger number. Marvel did that for Fantastic Four a few years ago, and some other titles, too. My only real concern with that kind of overhaul now is -- historically -- it will be confusing.

[scandalsavage]

Hey the PopCandy blog on USAToday.com wrote about this today. This should drive numbers!!!

Of course DC will receive 600 post cards about Wonder Woman. It's not that big of a number. 60,000 would be a challenge, but 600 is not many.

[americanwonder]

Scandal - Thanks for posting that link - seeing the 600 on the USA Today made my day. :smile:

Invisiboy - 60,000? No offense, but are you nuts? :eek: :tongue: That's almost twice as many people currently buying the comic. Even Superman hasn't been selling over 60,000 (per comic) in awhile - few monthly comics do. Maybe when she gets to issue #60,000, then we can talk about 60,000 postcards. :wink:

[scandalsavage]

Another update from DC's The Source -- up to 465

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2009/10/02/weekly-wonder-woman-tally-445/

[Lynda_Carter]

REALLY!?!? That is wonderful news....I'm SO happy![smile]
I'm sure there will be more, as mine is not there yet (I sent it out only yesterday) Great job Everyone! I Can't wait for Wonder Woman 600!!!!

[captainwonder]

I hope we get to 600 soon! I sent mine and I made myself.

[nightforce]

Holy Shiznit that is great!!

Just one question though does that mean it will stay in the 600's once that is changed or just for that one issue?

[Lynda_Carter]

I do not know, good question though! The reason I personally want Wonder Woman to go back to numbering with #600 is that I HATE the broken time line with a passhion! I want it to be DIANA as Wonder Woman # 1 - #600 and no more of this "Hippolyta was the Golden Age Wonder Woman" I hate that! I have a reprint of Wonder Woman #1 and her name in it is DIANA! To me there is only 1 Wonder Woman and she is Diana. if the numbering is restored it will be Diana from the Golden Age to the present! To me the Hippolyta as Wonder Woman thing never happend, I say it was all a BAD dream Diana had.

[spair]

I'm glad I did my part. Mailed out my post card Friday and packed one for the Mr. to mail out from work.

[jacob_b]

I read this in back of Red Robin four I believe. Just checked this website to see if you all were pushing it. I read what he wrote and it did make sense why they went to a small number, as I'm one of those people who would buy a low number comic more often than a high one. I think they should do what Adventure Comics, I believe it is them, are doing. Have the low number and behind it have the real number. How long has this drive been going and when does it end?

[knowwonder]

Well, with the current run, #45 would be issue #600 and come out sometime next year--about 10 months from now--if all calculations are correct.

It's worth noting that no one is asking for special treatment for this title--just equal. I'm certain the title will not retain this numbering, and I don't believe anyone does. We simply want it acknowledged on this one single issue. Why people such as 'fukbot' (Keeeeeeeelassy, that one) on the blog and others feel the need to be disparraging or launch an 'anti-renumbering campaign' is truly bizarre.

[Lynda_Carter]

Anyone know the numbers for this week?:confused:
We should be close to 600 by now.

[spark627]

Why was there no update this week?

Either it was really good and over 600 or really bad...

[aegisbearer]

I was about to agree with you. Then I moused over all the other pictures. They're all suffixed with 600 (for some reason)...

Still a nice cover though. The WW Blackest Night one is nice as well.

[FemGeek]

Anybody know what the new count is? I hope it's close. I'm sending mine today (finally). Just got to feck it into the post box outside my house, and all I'll need do then is pester everyone else into doing the same.

It was suggested by another poster that the 600 was to signify 600 dpi (dots per inch) for the resolution of the photo.

[WonderSpinGirl]

Just sent in mine today, hope we're getting close!

[nightforce]

Question, will the 600 issue be a one time issue? Or will we get issue 601?

[brettc1]

Well I decided that its time for some out of the box thinking.

So here is the email I just sent to Oprah Winfrey on her website, Oprah.com

Dear Oprah,

In Australia there is little girl called Gwendoline She is just over 18 months old. Gwen has a hero. Her Daddy calls her Wonder Woman, but Gwendoline calls her Waa Waa. This is the story of how Waa Waa came to be so important to Gwen and her Daddy.

Just after her 1st birthday Gwen got very sick. Her Daddy took her to the hospital. Gwen had a bad virus. She could not breathe properly or eat. She had have tubes in her arm and nose. She was very sad. So were her Mummy and Daddy and her brother. All their friends and family were praying for Gwen.

Gwens Daddy is a big nerd. He reads comic books. One of the people who writes comic books is Gail Simone. Gail writes Waa Waas comic book.

When Gail found out Gwen was sick, she put a message on the site where Waa Waas fans come to talk. It told about Gwen and asked them to pray for her. LOTS of people said they would pray with Gwens family and friends. There were people all over the world praying for Gwen.

After a week Gwen got better. Her family were very grateful to everyone who prayed, including Gail and the Waa Waa fans.

Waa Waa has had a comic for a long time. Next year will be her 600th issue. Other heroes have had lots of comics published. People get excited about it. BUT Waa Waa has had the numbers of her book changed a couple of times.
.
The people who make Wonder Woman comics (not Gail) had said they wont change the numbers to 600, even though that has been done for other heroes. Waa Waas fans like Gwen and her Daddy think she should get her 600. The people who make the comics said they will do that if they get 600 postcards asking for it.

On the October 25th it is Wonder Woman Day in Portland, U.S.A. It raises money to help women who get hurt when people are mean to them. Waa Waa is a pretty special hero.

Oprah, Gwen and her Daddy know that you talk to other women like you who people know for doing nice things, and being good at what they do, just like Waa Waa. If you and they sent postcards to ask for her to get her 600, the people in charge might listen. The postcards are supposed to say...

Wonder Woman issue #45 should start renumbering at #600!

Dan Didio
c/o DC Comics Inc
1700 Broadway
New York
NY 10019

Please Oprah, help our hero get her 600.


Gwen and her Dad

I'm dropping another copy to the local radio station here in Brisbane - they sometimes interview female celebrities like Nicole Kidman, or Terri and Bindi Irwin. I believe Pink was here in Australia recently.

Does anyone know how to contact JK Rowling - she would have some weight at Time Warner :wink:

[knowwonder]

Just a quick question, Brett.......... You aren't building some sort of mylar weather balloon in your backyard, are you....?

[brettc1]

I might, if I thought I could use it to drop postcards on the DC offices :wink:

[troy2g1]

I might, if I thought I could use it to drop postcards on the DC offices :wink:

LOL great post.

[knowwonder]

I might, if I thought I could use it to drop postcards on the DC offices :wink:

LOL! Just keep lil' Gwen away from it!

[americanwonder]

Oprah? Seriously? Well, it's definately out of the box, I'll give you that.

[americanwonder]

Any news? What does a guy have to do to get an update from DC?

Happy Monday, Source gang. It’s been a while since we updated you on the Wonder Woman #600 postcard tally, mostly because we’ve been inundated by the response from fans. And while we’re holding off on giving you the final number, I do want to let you know that we’re ending the call for postcards. So, if you got to send one, great. If not, the gig is up.

And I know what the next question is — “Did we make it?” Well, we’re not telling yet. And I know what the question after that will be — “If we did make it, will the numbering go back to #600?” We’re not telling there, either. But rest assured we’ll have some interesting news for you in the coming weeks. Many thanks to all that participated, and stay tuned.

That is sooooo wrong not to tell us. Seriously!

[spark627]

That is sooooo wrong not to tell us. Seriously!

Well, they are basically telling us they reached 600. They wouldn't announce that they will make a big announcement that the contest failed... especially after saying "we’ve been inundated by the response from fans"

What annoys me is this: "And I know what the question after that will be — “If we did make it, will the numbering go back to #600?” We’re not telling there, either"

If they have 600 and don't renumber I will be pissed.

[Andrew NDB]

In my opinion...

... as soon as Dan mentioned the postcard contest, it was already set in stone: WW is getting the #600 renumbering.

Why, you ask?

Because WW is a marquee superhero at DC, one of the trinity and the name of the game for a while now has been to reinforce her place in the DCU and as a member of the trinity.

My point... if the deadline passed and Dan goes and tells the truth, "Sorry guys, we only got 297 postcards," then it makes WW and its following look a bit bad, and leaves him with a bit of egg on his face.

The only variable, I think, is whether the #600 is a one-off thing, just for the one issue, or if it's a whole shift (to be continued in #601, #602, etc.).

[srhanson]

What a slap in the face it would be if #600 was just for one issue.

The point is to reinstate her status by getting her title up to the numbers shared by Superman and Batman. It's as simple as that.

[hippie_hunter]

Exactly, if Wonder Woman #45 becomes Wonder Woman #600, then the issue that follows it should be Wonder Woman #601, not Wonder Woman #46.

And hopefully, this will give Wonder Woman a great sales boost because more people should be reading this awesome book.

[rebel2000]

FYI, dan didio said that he'll announce the final tally of the 600 postcards on 2nd week of december.

[knowwonder]

What a slap in the face it would be if #600 was just for one issue.

The point is to reinstate her status by getting her title up to the numbers shared by Superman and Batman. It's as simple as that.

Oh.

See, as far as that goes, I don't even care. I've just been hoping for the recognition of this singular milestone, and don't really mind if the numbering reverts back. I fully expect issue #45 to be marked with both numbers, resuming at #46 of Volume III with the next issue.

How do others feel? (Did I miss the whole point??)

[jason_w]

I'm in total agreement with this.

Let everybody have #600, hell, make it triple-sized with 12 variant covers, but DC would be crazy to not take advantage of the upcoming 50th issue of volume III to change the numbering after #600.

Two high-profile "anniversary" issues are much better than just one.

[nightforce]

Hm, I may agree with you a little knowwonder but at the same token I can see why some would want to keep her with the 600# and keep going up. She is the ONLY female Superhero that has her comics going on that long why not give her at least that?

How many comics that have the 600 plus numbers on them? Just wondering

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah, but it's not like Captain America where you can get away with it with Captain America #50 followed by Captain America #600 the next issue.

And Wonder Woman just isn't a high enough profile character these days to do it to either.

[jason_w]

Yeah, but it's not like Captain America where you can get away with it with Captain America #50 followed by Captain America #600 the next issue.

And Wonder Woman just isn't a high enough profile character these days to do it to either.

She's high profile enough that DiDio took notice of the postcard campaign to drum up interest for the title and offer a 600th issue.

Many people felt that Captain America didn't need it either, but it didn't stop Marvel from taking advantage of two "anniversary" issues. DC would be foolish not to take this opportunity to do the same.

In the end it's really about the money, not pleasing fans. Didio is using the postcard campaign as a marketing tool, and "respect" for Wonder Woman has nothing to do with it. Nothing wrong with that. It's just business.

But if you number a comic 600, you can't just go back to retitled numbering just so you can have issue 50. The only reason why Captain America got away with it was because following issue 50 was issue 600. That's not the case with Wonder Woman.

Frankly the only character I would see getting away with a stunt like that would be Deadpool.

Frankly the only character I would see getting away with a stunt like that would be Deadpool.

Marvel had She-Hulk #100 right around issue 12 of her last series, and went right back to the regular numbering the next month. DC could do the same, just superimpose #600 across the top of the book, or they could do it the way they did with Adventure Comics: offer a variant number edition. It can be done and that's just a couple of ways just off the top of my head.

You're right about Deadpool, and I would go as far as to say that Wolverine is still hot enough to do something similair.

For the record, I'm normally against gimmicks like this... and beyond that, numbering confusion type fare... but I think it would be pretty cool, in this case.

The whole campaign was to start RE-NUMBERING AT 600...not get a #600 issue.

Yup, that's what I understood, too. Renumbering starting at 600.

Didn't Didio previously mention announcing something about the results for sometime around this time?

[Lynda_Carter]

2nd week in December is what I heard.

If I recall correctly, DiDio said they would announce something the 2nd week of Dec. I'm guessing along with the Mar. solicitations.

It's like an early Chirstmas present - looking forward to it. :biggrin:

edit: Lynda has speedier typing fingers than I. Must remember to train more. :frown: :tongue:

Kind of late, but I sent mine in about two weeks ago.

[Kyle Anderson]

This probably is going to be announced this week as one of the DC's big announcments.

Hi Scotty,

Honestly speaking I didn't had any ideas about wonder woman. I spoke to some of my friends and they were knowing about it.

One of my friend is going to send a post card at the address given by you. We are from Central London. So only one guy has got convince to send a postcard. If more gets convince, I will post the information here.

Cheers.

[Lynda_Carter]

I'm so happy I could cry! THIS is Wonder Woman and WE did it, WE brought our Wonder Woman back home!

[Andrew NDB]

... as soon as Dan mentioned the postcard contest, it was already set in stone: WW is getting the #600 renumbering.

Why, you ask?

Because WW is a marquee superhero at DC, one of the trinity and the name of the game for a while now has been to reinforce her place in the DCU and as a member of the trinity.

My point... if the deadline passed and Dan goes and tells the truth, "Sorry guys, we only got 297 postcards," then it makes WW and its following look a bit bad, and leaves him with a bit of egg on his face.

I'm still betting I'm right. :)

[Greenbats]

are there going to be any variant issues for this? and not just a 1:25 but like a 1:250? cause that would be sweet

[aegisbearer]

Guys, since this has been announced, I am going to unstick this thread. It'll still be around, but it doesn't need to be "stuck" to the top of the page anymore :-)
