Thoughts, pictures, reviews and other stuff about the women in comics who kick ass. This is a feminist site. Deal with it.
“… just a dreadful little site that just basically compiles lists.” – poster/DC Comics forum
“… provides a much-needed voice that is not often heard on traditional comic sites.” – Wired’s Geek Dad
… she’s pretty amazingly ignorant of comics outside of the Batverse and some recent Wonder Woman, and seems pretty clueless about the way the industry works. That and she doesn’t write that well at all.” anonymous poster, Dreamwidth

Comics To Read -2/15 Batwoman Edition
Happy Half Price Chocolate Day! And new comic day. So let’s get to the list because there’s a book I know a lot of you have been waiting for is back. Warning this week is heavy on DC Comics.
Kate Kane gets her own comic. Again. (I wrote about the long road to his first #1 a few years back here). If you aren’t familiar with Batwoman this is a good intro of her story to date with some set up for the first arc.
This book was part of the Rebirth reveal from a (almost exactly) a year ago and is now debuting after a a delay or two. The sons are Jon Kent and Damian Wayne. It’s as fun as you would hope. The art by Jorge Jimenez gives the book the right light touch and the writing captures the diametrically opposed light and dark of Wayne and Kent.
I’m not down with the SuperOffice but if you are you’ll enjoy this book.
Not sure I’ve featured this series and it’s already issue 3 but this series is meeting hopes. The art is great and I really wish it was an ongoing.
The first issue was a mixed bag – the art definitely carried the load for the first issue which offered some great moments but seemed a bit challenged with narrative after a impressive beginning. But I am still looking forward to this second issue (which i have not read).
