Spider-Woman's initial numbers were mostly related to her having a series after a long break, being tied to spiderverse, and being a new series. The drop probably occurred due to the short series followed by a re-launch. Same applies to Angela.
I don't know much about Red Sonja or Deja Thoris, butthey look like they were designed for their sex appeal so that would make sense.
Harley isn't really a fair example to compare the rest of those titles too because angela and spider woman could have a series about them sun bathing on a nude beach together and Harley would still sell circles around them because she is DC's DP equivalent.
I don't really mind the revealing costumes in certain contexts. very Example, emma frost makes perfects sense to dress the way she does, and I liked how with black canary they made the fishnets part of a punk rock costume because she was in a punk rock band. But things like power girls boob window and star sapphires costume are just ridiculous.
Pretty fair response. I still feel like some female led books from Marvel or DC could financially benefit from some fan service (like SpiderWoman and Black Widow), but yes, Harley would sell well no matter how much skin she shows, and Angela would still be a failure.
Maybe adding a ton more characters like Zola?

Just a great moral compass for today's woman.
Being a "Person of Interest" doesn't make you an interesting person.
ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

Don't be slow guys. Nothing wrong with a woman having protected sex. There's something really wrong with a woman having unprotected sex, getting pregnant and not even bothering looking for the father of her child. It's exceptionally wrong she didn't care who the daddy was. It's not fair for her child. What is momma Zola going to say when the child asked about her daddy? The same thing she said to Hermes? Think about the kid in this situation. If it hadn't been Zeus' kid, then what?
That is not a strong, independent woman. That is an irresponsible adult that made some very bad life choices and her kid will have to suffer for it.

Well, the debate over whether a strong independent woman can/should be concerned over something like her child knowing who his father is is a major one, and a delicate one.
That said, I think if we are having a marketing-related discussion, the target audience probably would side with Zola having the right to live her life the way she wants (as opposed to how society/men want her to), and thus would make the comics more desirable to them.
Maybe she was trying to have a calm, healthy pregnancy (because, you know, it's an important period for the baby) before tracking down truck-drivers, band members and whatnot.
The "unprotected" part of her sex life is an assumption. Specially considering that the guy in question was a god fathering himself - but it would continue to be an assumption if it was a regular guy.

So it's not a moral responsibility to find the father of your child? To allow both father and child a chance to be in each other's lives? It's what society wants a woman to do? Had no idea.
Zola is pretty defensive on that page. She's satisfied with her actions as is. No mention of a broken rubber or plans to look for the father.
