I'm trying to get clarification as to where this "rumor" came from. I'll update again if I hear back from Wonder Woman Fans.

I don't know how far her current contract runs, but I'd bet that it doesn't go any further then the "convergence"

[Darius]

If she took a drastic measure to go full cheesecake, Messner-Loebs, and Marston bondage theme, she'd remove some fans, bring back others, and than add some; the sales would surge and those fans she would attract are loyal enough to allow her run to go 3 years and than some. I admit, she seems to be in a tough position, and between a rock and a hard place; she has to have some drastic change of taste coming up, or, I hope so, at least; I just hope she has plans to make Wonder Woman's main rogues, with the Good Doctor as the main antagonist of the run; I can't bare much more without him and them; if she goes this route, the sales should surge and plateau at an elevated level; if she's planning to mimic Azz, than it's hard to see how she pulls a 3 year run off, but, only time will tell.

We'll see how she does. David will bring in some fans, however you feel about him, it's clear he has a following. Azzarello brought in his fan base and managed to have better sales than anyone on WW in a very long time so I think Meredith is going to go into this with some aggressive sales goals. I suspect we'll see a surge for at least a couple of issues since that is fairly normal when a new creative team comes in ... From there it'll depend on how well she writes. David's fans who aren't necessarily WW fans will likely drop off unless Meredith's writing keeps them interested. Us diehards are rather divided, some want a return to the old and others want something new. Personally I don't see how she is going to succeed by reverting to much into pre-52 days or by being overly influenced by editorial and/or David. One of my concerns with the early interviews is that he seems to be getting a lot of freedom to draw what he wants (i.e. big splash pages) and she's writing around his artistic whims. I suppose if your a big fan of his work that'll be great, but for those of us who prefer story-driven comics that could prove problematic.

That's true; she could strive to keep David's fans on board, also. I guess they like something like cheesecake art. The writing would have to set that type of tone. Either way she goes, she's likely to shed some type of fans, so she'll have to go with the ones likely to prove most loyal who are less likely to complain. I'm more closely someone in the David fan base.

I guarantee that if sales suck she won't last 3 years.

Finch could sell Batman, but WW is far away from being batman. Not even superman can do good sales with names like lobdell.

Like Darius said though, its all dependent on sales anyway.

I have no doubts that David Finch's name alone will carry this book to ~45k sales consistently, possibly as low as ~35k which is still enough to probably keep the creative team afloat.

The real question is, can David keep up w/ the schedule enough to make the book sell?

[HsssH]

I think its going to be either 6 months or couple of years. Next year 2-month skip is likely to be a red line when DC will decide what creative teams/books stay and what are shuffled.

I think they'd do us all a favour if they announced who the fill in artist is going to be.

45K would be a very good number for Finch in a WW book. I really don't know how much he bring in sales, specially for a character like WW. I don't think he has a fanbase so strong like DC thinks.
