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.

Tip your server with cards!

Having Wonder Woman reach her 600th issue during DC's 75th anniversary concurrent with Batman/Superman's 700th will provide tons of PR fodder. The resultant media coverage is far more likely to attract new readers to the book than keeping the issue number low with the hope that it will attract new readers wondering through a comic shop. As if they don't know that.

Honestly, the whole 600th issue for 600 cards is a PR stunt. I wouldn't be surprised if we see DiDio sitting at a desk covered with bags of postcards.

And with the re-org yesterday Wonder Woman has became an even more valuable asset to the company. Joel Silver's option on a Wonder Woman movie is probably being pulled or is already pulled. A 600th issue combined with an announcement of the movie? Won't be serendipity. And remember all this stuff was underway, the Marvel/Disney deal just accelerated it into this quarter vs. Q1.
