The holidays are in full swing, and with that in mind, we decided it'd be nice of us to unveil a few more March covers, all of which will hit later today. Take a look at upcoming covers for WONDER WOMAN, SECRET SIX, DOOM PATROL, JONAH HEX, BOOSTER GOLD and more below.

The headline says it all. Take it away, Dan:
The results are in!
The response to our call for Wonder Woman postcards was spectacular, and we got the message loud and clear. We asked for 600 and by the Oct 31st cut off, we had an overwhelming 712 postcards (nearly 800 by the time of this writing), so as a man of my word, starting in June 2010, DC’s Wonder Woman series will celebrate its 600th issue and continue on from there. And we promise that Diana’s anniversary issue will be one to remember! There are some big plans in place and big changes in store for our favorite amazon warrior, so keep an eye on The Source in the new year, because we will be breaking the news here first!
To be continued….

But that's not all. We'll be announcing some major news in relation to Wonder Woman early in 2010, including the roster of all-star artists contributing to the 600th issue. Until then, though, we'll leave you with the issue's cover, by none other than George Perez, who's no stranger to the Amazon Princess.
And stay tuned to The Source this week, as we continue to roll out our major plans for the coming year.
We realize you're probably scrambling to get everything done in time to jet out of work early and get on with your Thanksgiving, but why not take a moment to look at some lovely BLACKEST NIGHT: WONDER WOMAN #1 artwork from Nicola Scott, who's pairing with writer Greg Rucka on the three-issue mini-series. See? We knew you'd come around.
Wonder Woman's world is turned upside-down as she finds herself branded a criminal by her own people. And who are the Crows, and what awful secret do they carry that will affect Diana forever? I can't reveal it all here, of course, but I can show off a few pages from WONDER WOMAN #38, courtesy of Gail Simone and artist Aaron Lopresti, which hits 11/25.

Happy Monday, Source gang. It's been a while since we updated you on the Wonder Woman #600 postcard tally, mostly because we've been inundated by the response from fans. And while we're holding off on giving you the final number, I do want to let you know that we're ending the call for postcards. So, if you got to send one, great. If not, the gig is up.
And I know what the next question is -- "Did we make it?" Well, we're not telling yet. And I know what the question after that will be -- "If we did make it, will the numbering go back to #600?" We're not telling there, either. But rest assured we'll have some interesting news for you in the coming weeks. Many thanks to all that participated, and stay tuned.
Writer Gail Simone and artist Bernard Chang unleash a civil war -- with the world hanging in the balance. Zeus has made Achilles ruler of the Amazons, and Diana finds herself in battle against the people she loves most. And what's the secret behind the sudden rash of pregnancies on Paradise Island? Find out some of the answers below, with a few preview pages. For more, make your way down to your shop today and pick up WONDER WOMAN #37.

Gail Simone and artist Nicola Scott keep the Secret Six on edge as they conclude "The Depths" arc, with the Six pitted against Artemis, Wonder Woman and the hideous secret being from within the new Devil's Island. Want more? Well, the book is on-sale today, so no excuses. While you get ready to walk to the store, check out a few pages below.
SECRET SIX #14 hits today.

WEDNESDAY COMICS, the groundbreaking weekly series featuring the all-star talents of Neil Gaiman, Joe Kubert, Lee Bermejo, Brian Azzarello, Kurt Busiek and many more, was a critical and commercial success across the board, featuring DC's greatest characters, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern, in stories from the most talented creators in the industry. For 12 weeks, fans were treated to an historic and energized collection of newspaper strips compiled by editor Mark Chiarello that ranged from standard and captivating superhero drama to the surreal and innovative. But wait, there's more?
Just announced at the Baltimore Retailer Summit, we've got the details on the WEDNESDAY COMICS collection, a topic that's been hotly debated and prognosticated by fans since the inception of the series.
The hardcover collection of the series, which will retail at $49.99, will clock in at 11 x 17 inches, which will present the series in a deluxe, big-screen format befitting the series, which was originally printed on broadsheet newspaper pages.
So, there you have it. WEDNESDAY COMICS, presented in oversized and deluxe glory. Not too shabby, huh?
Well, we're in week two of coverage of the WONDER WOMAN #600 campaign and, what do you know? We've already crossed the midway point. As of now, we have about 324 postcards sent in from fans asking for WONDER WOMAN's numbering to be reverted to #600 at the appropriate time. Seems like the tide is turning, eh?
Because I like to pretend I'm an enterprising journalist of some kind, with Dan DiDio's consent I swung by his office and took a few photos of the many postcards already decorating the adjoining walls. And while the picture quality isn't great -- thanks to my shaky hands and lack of skills -- you can still get a sense of what we're dealing with here.
So, keep 'em coming, guys. If you want to see this happen, send your postcards to this address:
WONDER WOMAN #600

And, of course, stay tuned to The Source for more updates and info.

To sweeten the pot, we threw in a variant cover by Andy Kubert. Happy Thursday.
