If WW is such a big and important pillar for DC Universe, why she can't have two books a month like Batman and Superman. A book focus with the other amazons seems like a no brainer most people like Artemis, Donna and Cassie some people liked one of those characters more than WW.
So why has this idea never been a book?
Is there something that I missed about editorial that doesnt allow for WW to have another book?
Wonder Woman
>Is there something that I missed about editorial that doesnt allow for WW to have another book?
Yeah, the fact they don't actually care about her despite pretending otherwise. WW is the Metroid of DC.
And while it would be neat to see the other Wonder Family members get their own book, they rarely get to appear in Diana's book, so that's not happening any time soon.
It's an unfortunate circumstance because writers can't seem to agree on what Diana's adventures and characterization should be, at least from the past few years. As for the supporting cast you posted in your pic;
>Donna's origin is fucked beyond belief, not to mention that she's currently "The Deathbringer"
>Cassie is involved in Young Justice
>Artemis is doing her thing with Jason Todd on Outlaws.
It's an unfortunate circumstance where her "family" is chopped up between several team books so each can have their respective "Token Amazon". I do agree though, that her family should matter more in her solo book. Throw Peng Deilan, the Wonder-Woman of China in there too. She's a great character.
On a related note, Superman somewhat suffers from this too. You hardly ever see Steel, Kara, or even Krypto interact with Clark anymore. Superboy? Woof.....
What are the sales figures?

We did get that during the rebirth era and hell even Luthor was part of the super famy
>such a big and important pillar for DC Universe
from a marketing point of view. WW thermos make more money in one month than the comics in 50 years.
Because Wonder Woman blows and so does everything about her Amazons and villains.
Because while in-universe she's very important, in real life her book consistently sells "okay". Certainly fine enough to chug along indefinitely, but not well enough to justify a second Amazon Family book, as interesting as that might be.
Superman and Batman consistently sell around 60-80 thousand copies. Wonder Woman does half of that.
Yeah I know, and look what Bendis did.
I think the big problem here is just that, marketing. I'd argue Wonder Woman would do far better with an animated series.
Aren't Donna and Cassie technically considered Titans characters?
The Trinity is a farce. She's the obligatory girl leeching off the other two.
Is it really sales figues? We have a couple of years ago a book like the Female furies that sold like shit but DC can't afford another WW's book because doesnt sell? Take for example Harley yeah outside of the comics her merch sells really well but her comics outside the Harleen book doesnt sell good and yet she has than more than one book for month
because being a wonderfag is suffering
that's life
Because they don't sell, and there isn't enough "solid" story to WW's canon for DC to expand. People keep undermining her foundation to keep her relevant then fail to realize why she doesn't resonate as a character.
I think they need to go full woke with wonderwoman and make her black
Honestly, I think people are finally inured to wokewashing.
God I hope so! It's a trend that just needs to die a definitive death already!
Just have Dexter draw it.
Well, they tried to revive Sensation Comics some years ago.
It really wasn't treated as an equivalent to either Action or Detective. It was Wondy's version of the digital first out of continuity Legends of the Dark Knight and Adventures of Superman anthology series. Ideally Sensation should be a second regular monthly in continuity book like Action and 'Tec.
Also read through the entirety of that series a few months ago. While there were some gems, there was also lot mediocrity and not so good stuff. There's a lot of Batman villain guest appearances instead of them trying to use her own villains. There's also a real failure to use much of her supporting cast members. Donna, Cassie, Artemis are never used in a single story.
Yes.
Bump.
I agree, OP. WW doesn't work well in modern setting. Her outfit, her weapons and shit. Her solo comics should be placed in her Valinor-like island, Atlantis, Egyptian Pytamides and such places, where she can fight with dragons, elves, goblins, satyrs and other mythical creatures. You could draw ideas fron si many sources like greek mythology, Atlantis lore, even germanics or slavic mythology, hell, even Tolkien and other fantasy worlds. For example, Steppenwolf coild be her sauron-like opponent.
She could always leave the island if JL needs her. She works ok in crossovers but her solo adventures should be in Middle Earth like setting.
Why make Diana black when Nubia exist?
Diana is a consistent character( usually) but her supporting cast and everything else is not. Writer's also have a tendency to ignore her rogue gallery outside of the greek gods and Cheetah.
no one knows Nubia you dumb fuck
This. Only blacks care about this shitshow called... God, I forgot the name of this nigtopia - and they don't buy comics anyway.
Nubia's existence makes race swapping Diana unnecessary.
Or do some people on Yas Forums want Diana race swapped so they can have something new to whine about?
Black people do but comics.
That doesn't mean they actually buy them.
>Or do some people on Yas Forums want Diana race swapped so they can have something new to whine about?
Yes they do and they are often the ones that don't buy the comics they are "defending".
Wonder Woman has never really sold well. Her main value is in merchandise. All those Halloween costumes, dolls, posters, etc make more money for DC than her comics ever did.
Sales figures are important but have to take overseas sales, reprints, etc into account. Some characters like the Phantom or Donald Duck are much more popular in other countries than in America and the American comic is almost a second thought.
I don't know if black people buy comics in large enough numbers to make a difference. How would you even find out? Ask comic stores clerks to write down when a black customer comes in? That'd go over real well.
She had a Sensation Comics and WW '77. But they were both digital comics and long finished by now.
WW DOES have another monthly book. It's called Justice League Dark.
Retards.
But Cassie originally appeared in the pages of Wonder Woman.
