Another Wonder Woman Book?

[Dr. Hurt]

I just want to say that I love when Dr. Hurt goes all "Zelda" in his posts. That really sounds like a book I could enjoy. Well done, sir.

Haha, thanks a lot AW!

DC was having trouble selling WW. You think a random Amazon would have a better chance? The GLC works because the GL franchise is popular and the corps is full of beloved characters.

Donna and Artemis aren't just "random" Amazons, I think they could manage a respectable 30K-ish in sales.

We don't need a woman of dc book.We already have ame-comi which features girls only.

Using that logic, would we need another Wonder Woman book because we already have one that focuses on her?

It would be cool to see Sensation Comics make a comeback. After all, Batman has Detective and Superman has Action.

I suppose DC would want to build her sales, etc first, but it's still worth a thought.

I agree...Sensation Comics could be like Wondie's "Detective" or "Action" Comics. Personally I think reintroducing Donna as a girl that Diana brought to Themyscira would be the simplest, so Sensation Comics could always be the adventures of that duo.

Apparently there is really nothing right now thats stopping DC other than itself from using Donna as Diana's young friend/protege since Cassandra now has no connection at all to Diana other than their similarities in gear.

But I am afraid we will have to wait some time (as in years) for Donna to return, considering DC seems adamant about not using the very popular Wally West. (No I dont get it either, cant be that hard giving him another name and take it from there?)

Superman has had varies of titles and it's because he's had various T.V shows,cartoons,and movies.He has Smallville comic and he has an upcoming Man of Steel comic.Things look good for him.
Now The Flash never had a good T.V show,never had a solo cartoon, or a memorable video game.He has one title.
My point is characters with T.V shows or video games get more titles.

4.Ame-Comi WW continues where she left off.

That is basically what Ame-Comi Girls will be, she'll just be on a team with several others.

There's plenty of names to call him other than Flash (though he will always be my favorite Flash). Donna should really be very easy to add on like you said, of course I'll be willing to wait another year or two so they can do it right and not screw up her backstory like usual.

I'd like to see a new Sensation Comics, that has a more superhero vibe than the current WW title, which is more mythical focused.

Unless you're Batman or Superman, it's pretty hard to have two books on your own and at some points even Superman struggled to keep both. GL doesnt really count because all GL books are different with different protagonists. I dont know if Hal himself could hold two books. Maybe he has already but if i'm not mistaken GLC always had the other lanterns with him.

So my suggestion is that unless WW somehow becomes hugely popular, it's going to be hard for her to keep two books that just tell stories about her. It's better not to risk too much and lose it all. So the second book has to be a bit different in a way. You could make it more superheroic (Cheetah, Giganta and all that) and keep the main book the one with the Vertigo feel but i dont know if that's good enough.

So i have three suggestions:

1) Wonder Woman based event that affects the whole universe. Why should we get events like that only based on Batman, Superman and GL? The second book will come out of the event the way Red Lanterns spawned out of the Blackest Night. It would be about WW and whatever plot or characters are left after the event.

2) Action Comics type of book. Handles her origin and early adventures around the world. What would you do if you suddenly came to a new world full of wonders? Sit in one american city and get a job or explore?.... Exactly. So we could have an 18 year old WW travel around the world and meet various people and cultures, try new things, and mature into the WW we know now. Fighting english folklore monsters and searching for King Arthur's tomb (a), going all Lara Croft in the pyramids in Egypt, walking around the markets of Cairo, and finding "the secret of Alexandria's lighthouse" (b), following the tracks of Alexander the Great across the Middle East all the way to India and meeting some maharajah with 100 wifes (there's your usual sexual politics) (c), getting lost in the maze that was Hong Kong's Kowloon walled city (demolished now but lets pretend it wasnt in the DCU. Nolan based his Narrows on it) (d), getting accustomed to 21st century technology in Tokyo by teaming up with a dorky kid who likes videogames (the new Toyman perhaps?) (e), etc.



3) B&R style book with the dynamic duo being Diana and Steve. Since Johns broke them up, i guess this has to take place in the past. This could also be part of (2), in other words Trevor could join her in some of her adventures.

I just want to say thank you for these ideas, and I hope they becoming a reality for WW. Time will tel I guess.

Agreed. I think this would be the best way to go. I love Azzarello's run, but I've seen a lot of complaints about Diana only fights gods/mythological beings and I have to agree even if I do like what's being done. A new book focusing on the more "superhero" side of Diana's life coluld be a nice alternative to Azzarello's WW.
