DiDio makes it official on Wonder Woman

He says he'll definitely give WW a 600th issue if he gets 600 postcards.

Doesn't say if the renumbering will continue after that issue. He'll probably want something else for that.

And for legality one of my favorite covers.

	The renumbering is an especially big pain when newer books like Runaways or Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane get 3 or 4 new "number 1" issues before they even crack issue 50. It seems like it would be very hard for modern books to ever reach number 100 (let alone 600) these days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If you think that's bad, you should see some Golden Age comics. Back then, it wasn't uncommon for comics to go back to #1 once a year (Target Comics, Airfighter/Airboy Comics, etc). And don't even get me started on the numbering mess that was Cat-Man Comics. Long story short, it was published on a very, very irregular schedule, and the numbering often changed seemingly on a whim. According to the Grand Comic Book Database, it went like this (the numbers in brackets are the original numbering that actually appeared on issue covers):

	That's not even taking into account seemingly random* title changes, meaning a new title could start at issue 27, or summat. * Not REALLY that random, but, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent)
