Great list! I would also include the recent Ms. Marvel in here. I recommended it to a colleague of my husband for his daughter who doesn’t see a lot of positive representations of brown people in the media and was so blown away by how much the both loved it.
Mariko, absolutely recommend Ms. Marvel! I’d listed it in a previous post, it’s such an important book!
these look awesome! i love a good female main character:)
Pinned to Books!
This list just shows all of us that women can be strong. Love the choices you picked.
I know she wasn’t in graphic novels but I always loved reading Katy keen in the 80’s! She seemed so fun!
I had never heard of her, loving what I’m seeing via Google!
Lumberjanes has been on my to-read list for awhile! I’ll have to pick it up soon–and check out the others on this list! They all sound great!
Yay! I love this compilation! :] I’ve never heard of any of them (sigh), but Rapunzel’s Revenge sounds rather awesome (yay for badassery), and Honor Girl sounds really interesting!
Honor Girl was SO painful but so good.
My comics pull list is pretty much “Awesome comics starring butt-kicking ladies, plus some Batman,” so I love what you’ve got on your list here! So many great titles! I would also recommend:
Ms. Marvel (worth mentioning over and over because it’s so good)
Captain Marvel (the Carol Danvers version)
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Goldie Vance
Giant Days
Mockingbird
Legend of Wonder Woman
Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman
Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy (best team up ever since both are on this list!)
A-Force
DC Bombshells
Adventures of Superhero Girl
Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat
Jonesy
Nutmeg
Paper Girls
Spider-Gwen
Takio
I could probably think of tons more given time, but this list seems like a good starting place :-)
So many good titles on your list!
