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 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!

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

I think he meant he'd ask his friends to?

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

Same address, not same person. There could always be multiple people with the same name.

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.

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.

Ah! I never knew that, thanks!

what the?

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.
