OKay. Fine. Fine. I give!
Hey, comic people on my friendslist? Anyone want to give a girl some pointers on how to get into this fandom? You know what kind of thing I like, I'm assuming, and I've sporadically read X-Men in the past, so I at least know who the players are, there. Well, sort of.
ETA: If it helps, from reading ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
scans_daily, I seem to be developing an odd affection for this Bart fellow. Hm.
as for NON-superhero stuff...
to start: i have no idea if there is a fandom for this, outside of the people who go to my local comic shop. i know there must be, but i feel no need to search it out.
to continue: this is an excellent excellent comic. it tells the story of what could happen if all the male creatures on earth die except for two: Yorick and his pet monkey. There are all sorts of fantastic women characters; in fact, since nearly every character is female, the range of persons shown is even more awesome. there are soldiers and mothers and psychopaths and actors and yeah, it's fuckin' ROCK.
and also, i think that you, being a person who desires women characters who are awesome, would like it. plus the trades aren't that expensive and you can get them from amazon.co.uk, which is the link above. it's a nice respite from the marvel and dc universes, too, which are so sprawling that it's both fun and terrifying at the same time.
other series that are not dc or marvel and thus i have no idea of the actual fandom:
hopeless savages: punk rock family! this is just fun. <3 the first two books (hopeless savages and too much hopeless savages) are better than the third, in my opinion. they follow the hopeless-savage family, the parental units being middle-aged punk rock stars and their kids all have names like Twitch and Rat and Zero. <333
...and that's really all i'm gonna recommend ya', as you have a pretty awesome reading list already and the other stuff will keep you busy for, oh, the rest of your life. <3 i mean, you could check out Kabuki: Circle of Blood, which i like because it has such an awesome cinematic feeling to it, sci-fi and destiny and yeah, or Maus, which is this classic, classic world war two story wherein the artist (a character) shows nazis as cat-faced-people and jews and, well, mice.
oh! and league of extraordinary gentlemen is fantastic, too. and hellboy. and sin city. and the sandman. and i'll stop now.
