If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

Going back to April of 2014 for a sales comparison(all numbers from http://icv2.com/):
Wonder Woman #30 = 31,094
Wonder Woman #31 = 30,655
Wonder Woman #32 = 48,235
Wonder Woman #33 = 37,431
Wonder Woman #34 = 35,774
Wonder Woman #35 = 35,968 (Azz/Chiang's last issue)
Wonder Woman #36 = 58,965(Finchs' first issue)
Wonder Woman #37 = 43,066
Wonder Woman #38 = 39,669
Wonder Woman #39 = 42,634
Wonder Woman #40 = 45,172
Wonder Woman #41 = 45,284
Wonder Woman Annual #1 = 29,189
So with the exceptions of the 3rd issue drop-off and the Annual(which typically sells less due to the price hike) the Finchs' run is selling pretty consistently around the 40K+ range. When was the last time Wonder Woman sold that well for at least 6 issues straight(not counting a relaunch of the book)?

Not that I'm knocking it, but I will point out that the return of Donna Troy to the DCU qualifies it as an 'event' book that speculators will pick up.
I want to see where the next six months go.
I will admit I dropped the book after the third issue of the Finchs run! But i started reading it again, buying issues # 41 and the annual!! I don't like the outfit change, but I think the stories writing has improved!! I always thought the art was a whole lot better then the last artist from Azz. run, as is the story arc!! It's will be interesting to see where the Finchs will take WW. In my mind any writers that take over after Azz. will always do better!

Don't get me wrong, I love Donna(ok, maybe not the current version just yet) but I don't think her return is all that big of a deal as when DC tried making her last return an event with the mini-series by Jimenez, Perez, and Garcia-Lopez, it didn't even sell well enough to grant her an ongoing series and those were some pretty big names attached to the mini that combined with Donna's return(if it were a big deal) should have generated enough sales to warrant an ongoing.

Sadly, I've disliked the Finches run so much I've dropped the book. I'll come back once a new team's in place or if word of mouth improves. Thus far, the writing (dialogue and plot) have been awful for me. The art has been uneven.
Still, those are decent numbers so kudos to that.
