    Default Wonder Woman needs a secondary title and it should be Sensation Comics!

    Wonder Woman should have a secondary title. Steve Orlando had a solid fill-in with the character and Tim Seeley did that wonderful Steve one-shot. I think either writer could do really great work with the character on a monthly basis. Sensation could be the 'tie-in' book while the main title does its own thing. It could also serve a need for more of a Wonder Woman Family presence.

    I would love for Sensational comics to be more of the magical side of Diana and sci. Another book that should be brought back is comic cavalcade which was a team up book. Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash. Instead of that why not it be a different person team up all the time? Or if you want to keep it in Wonder Woman mythos a character that doesn't get used often

    Sensation Comics would really bring back the world of Wonder Woman. Let her have the world impending doom in her own book and let her mythos expand once more in a team-up book.

    I wanted a title focusing on the day to day lives of the Amazons so sensation comics might be a good home for it. It also would be a way to give Donna or Cassie a home as they would be a good POV character.

    It wouldn't last more than a couple of issues. They tried bringing it back in 2014 as a digital comic and it lasted a year. As of now Wonder Woman simply doesn't have the supporting cast, villains, or mythology people care enough about to support a secondary title like they do with Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern.

    I'm all for it, as it should stand on its own next to Action or Detective Comics.

    Diana's world and Wonder concepts are woefully neglected, so I'd have Sensation as another ongoing in-continuity title starring Diana. The writers and creators on Wonder Woman and Sensation can work together to parcel out her characters and concepts so we double our Wonder world-building output.

    One Wonder-focused title simply isn't enough real estate to do her mythology and its potential justice.

    They should've done a Sensation Comics title as part of Rebirth, instead of double shipping WW. That way, we wouldn't have had the absurd scenario of odd numbered issues being one story and evens by another, by two separate creative teams.

    And whose fault is that?

    Just because Sensation didn't sell as well previously doesn't mean it wouldn't sell today. The problems with the previous run on Sensation was 1-it was an anthology book; rotating creative teams, rotating stories. There was little reason for readers to continue from one issue to the next. 2-was the price point. It was a digital first then print which had a higher page count and as such a higher price point. Comics are expensive enough as it is and trying to get regular readers for an anthology book with a high price point is just not going to make it.
    Give Sensation a regular top notch creative team like they do for Action and Detective and there's no reason why the book couldn't be as consistently a good seller as her main title. If there is an issue with the title "Sensation Comics" in that they dont think it can attract enough readers because it doesn't seem grabby enough, switch her to Adventure Comics (she had a brief run in that series when it was an anthology title so why not.) Shipping the main title twice a month shows that the character can maintain the sales, DC just has to be willing to commit to putting top tier talent on the title (as much as they need to do so on her main book) just as they would on Superman and Batman titles.

    What could be the best way to make sure Sensational comics sale well? One way is to for a bit get away from the main title and focus on the amazons.

    A book focusing on Wonderwoman’s villains, or supporting cast is what she needs.

    Justice League Dark can be considered as an another Wonder Woman title since she's the lead as the biggest name in the book.

    DC's editorial and writers of course. Editors allowing writers to toss away old continuity and do whatever they with her history has constantly ruined any chance of ever laying a solid foundation for any kind of mythos to build up around Wonder Woman. This is why she'll never be able to sustain a second title. Because nobody has bothered to create a mythology and supporting cast for her that could make one viable.

    And when will this stop? It's impressive that Wonder Woman has been able to achive all she has achieved, despite editors and writers treating her so bad. Maybe a successful franchise on the silver screen will help to stop their rebooting habits?

    Probably not, doesn't seem like it's ever going to stop anytime soon, Rebirth just rebooted her entire history again in 2016. As they've done so many times now. It's an awful cycle of behaviour that no one seems to have any interest in stopping. She remains relavent inspite of the mismagement of her character due to the importance of her character being the first female superhero and just being around for so long in general. Any other character this poorly managed would be a C-lister by now.
