Comics for the Ladies

So working at amazing +Undercity Comics (Uptown Whittier) I get to talk to lots of nice folks about what's good in the comic book world. I also get to answer lots of questions, and the one of the most frequently asked questions come from our lady customers who are asking, "What are some good comics that have strong female characters, or are made for female readers?"

Unlike what the picture says, the tides are turning and women want to read good comic books that are more representative of society (which is not all male).

I love answering this question because:

1. Girls are coming into comic book stores (well at least ours) and asking about comic books and asking for recommendations!
2. The comic book industry is slowly starting to (finally) get some great female talent in writing and in art and starting to produce some great comics featuring strong female characters that aren't just written for women, but are just great comics in general. 

Comic Book of the Week for 2/12/14

Before I talk about today's CBotW, I just wanted to let everyone know that…WonderCon is back in Anaheim this April and the badges came out Friday~! If you've never been to a comic convention you should buy your badges ($50) and go to WonderCon at the Anaheim Convention Center!

Also I originally intended to publish this post Saturday, but there was a family emergency and my gramps is in the hospital. Sorry for the lapse, and your prayers are much appreciated.

Okay, today's comic book of the week features another new comic book from the Marvel NOW! line. She-Hulk #1 is out this week and if this is the caliber comic that this issue portends to be, were in for an hilarious ride a-la Hawkeye.

Don't let the awesome cover art fool you, this is a quirky, hilarious comic.
