If you're not reading Gotham Academy, then you should be.

damn, i was going to list each one of these. i will only add Chris Ware's Building Stories, Ghost World, Persepolis and Nausicaa (although that's technically /a/).

actually, i would put Building Stories on the top of all of these listed, if i needed to rank them. since the "story" is fairly directionless and non-linear, it's pretty much ONLY about character development and evoking emotion/empathy.

I'd say Saga is "good". It's not fantastic by any stretch of the imagination but it's not bad.

Most Supergirl comics
the mid 00's Power Girl
Gwenpool
Slott's She-Hulk
Mid 00's X-Men (becomes X-Men Legacy) which pretty much stars Rogue
Actually, a lot of X-Men stories have strong female presence in them.

there's more to western comics than DC and Marvel. Actually if you consider the whole comics industry those 2 aren't even that big in the medium.

I'll add that it was also not quite straightforward as it was partially a joke about shitty fanfics anyway. The context is that it seemed like a normal story up to that point before they shoved in their opinions at the end (though of course part of the joke is the type of opinion that the fanfic writer is portrayed as having, obviously it's strawmanning things a little).

>>85914618
The "strong" in "strong female character" means that she's strong as a character in storybuilding terms. She has a personality, a backstory, fleshed-out relationships, and development throughout the piece of media.

Often "strong" is misinterpreted as "power fantasy".
