    Default Pitch a New Sensation Comics Title

    Pitch a new direction for the comic that spawned the Amazing Amazon, Wonder Woman!

    Go crazy, and have as much creative freedom as you want, as long as it is somewhat related to the WW mythos.

    I'd do an Amazon centered title, focusing on the day to day life on Themyscira and how Amazons interact with the DCU as a whole.

    More on the magical side of Diana’s mythos. From anywhere of Diana’s villains to the Amazons themselves

    I'd probably try to go a little more classic, a bit more wholesome with Diana in contrast with what's become "lady Superman with sword" that most writers seem interested in doing.

    I feel a lot of writers only remember the character on the right, not the left. I'd try to bring her supporting cast members and sidekicks in to tie her universe together a bit more. Most of all, though, I'd try to make it a bit more fun. I like the warrior Wonder Woman take fine, but that's her "Batgod" to me. It's a lazier shorthand to make the character appear competent when they're a lot more nuanced and interesting than that.

    So my focus would be her being a superhero, dealing with her friends, family and significant other should she have one, and creating new antagonists for her to conflict with. I'd also issue a challenge to the artist to give me one crazy request to put in each issue and see how we could work that in, if possible, just for fun. We'd be cancelled before the first issue hits the stands.

    I thought the “every issue is a new creative team” previous experiment was neat, but I would stick with a more traditional Action/Detective like title for a new title. Action is currently focused on Metropolis and Detective is focused on Gotham, they’re more “street-level” books in comparison to the “epic” main books. So for Sensation I’d want to focus on something similar: Diana in one particular area. That can be Gateway, London, D.C., or even my personal preference NYC. Just focus on building a city Diana is dedicated to while the main WW title is more fantastical and out there.

    I am of two thoughts...one thought is to make it another Diana centric book, cause the girl should have more than one book dammit! If her main title is going to focus on more mythological style stories, then make this one the more traditional super hero style series. Facing off against all the old villains and some new ones, but none that are mythological.
    My other thought is to make it a rotation of Diana's supporting cast...Donna, Cassie, Artemis, Steve, Hippolyta, even stories focusing on Cheetah, Giganta, Veronica Cale...anyone that is within Diana's sphere of influence. This way we could get a four issue Donna story, two issue Hippolyta, five Artemis, three Cheetah...It would also allow for a rotation of creative teams, like Phil Jiminez with Donna Troy, Greg Rucka and Bilquis Evely for Cale...

    I agree with this wholeheartedly, coupled with what OBrianTallent mentioned about Diana deserving another book about her.

    We're never going to get her foes and world elevated until she has more page- and story-time dedicated to her, her foes, her supporting characters, her concepts, and a unique city that thematically fits and reflects and challenges her character.

    (At least that's what I've been working on.)
