What are are the best woman lead cape comics? Who has the best

Byrne's She-Hulk, Perez Wonder Woman
Claremont's X-Men, Simone's Secret Six, but they co-star men
Songbird's overall character arc through Thunderbolts is pretty neat

1 - Wonder Woman
2 - Catwoman
3 - Supergirl
4 - She-Hulk

And nothing more.

>>90751433
Thank you, will check out

>>90751433
Simone's Birds of Prey, too.
(The first run.)

>>90751651
Holy fuck I forgot Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown.

So:

1 - Wonder Woman
2 - Catwoman
3 - Supergirl
4 - She-Hulk
5 - Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)
6 - Batgirl (Stephanie Brown)
7 - Ms Marvel (Kamala)

And nothing more. Period.

Back to the topic at hand, if ya want something funny but also with a good character development and moments I recommend you to read Karl Kesel & Terry Dodson Harley Quinn, and if you like it I'd say that you should continue with A.J. Lieberman & Mike Huddleson Harley Quinn

PAD Supergirl is wonderful.

Pretty far removed from what you might think of Supergirl, but great stuff.

That's not counting the fact that according to this Wonder Girl is six foot goddamn five.

He should form his own opinions instead of having other people just tell him what to like. But that would require the use of one's brain, so we can't have that.

That would indeed be more acceptable than being a lazy piece of shit and letting your thoughts be tainted by others. It would also help prevent the spread of cancerous "/co/ is love" attitudes that only serve to make shitposters feel welcome to take a fat piss all over the board.

Or, here's an idea: just fucking google some damn comics to read. It takes like five seconds, and doesn't make you an enormous tool.

>>90754373
Wouldn't that essentially be the same thing?
It's still just other people listing books they like.

>>90754335
Also can't forget the Terra mini that led into this run.

>>90754454
>Wouldn't that essentially be the same thing?It's still just other people listing books they like.
Yeah, but not here. Aside from the aforementioned cancer prevention, rec-fagging is just plain intrusive and annoying. Even considering the best case scenario of a casual being sincere, it still brings a discussion to a halt as everyone has to hold this retard's hand. It's just tedious and stupid.

>>90754794
How intrusive can it be?
Rec threads dried up once that tumblr was made and they never really made a comeback.

Now they're pretty uncommon, and when they DO happen they dry up really quick.
They don't get a discussion going and/or a certain giant baby comes around to whine about the thread existing.

>>90753910
>amazon stronger than kriptonian

In the trash it goes.

>>90754880
Are you high? Rec threads happen all the damn time, several pretty much every day. Nigga, we're in one right now!

And you just pointed out how intrusive they are. They don't foster discussion, so there is no reason these relics of the olden days should be tolerated.

>>90754997
I just don't understand why it bothers you so much.

>>90754956
There's a fuck load wrong with that picture, but Powergirl was considered to be Atlantean when that chart was made, so she did not have kryptonian strength

>>90751246
not op but are any chicks outside the big 2 worth checking out?

I see all these comics from these small companies like cavewoman, lady death, witchblade, etc, is it just great art or are these books good enough to carry these small companies.?

>I don't know what I was thinking.
Neither do I.
It's an anonymous, public image board about comics and cartoons.

Because those are merely symptomatic. The root of the problem is recs, since again, they provide the opening for shitposters to come it.

To prevent intruders from entering your house, you need to start by closing the door and locking it up tight. You're all too afraid to close the door because... I dunno, cause it's "rude" or some shit.

They like to what? Encourage laziness? Enable casualness? Foster ignorance through the perpetuation of inaccurate and poorly articulated explanations? I guess you idiots enjoy being a terrible board. Well I don't, so I'm going to continue to encourage people to do their own damn research and find material on their own, so they can properly contribute to future discussions.

>>90755887
I was not.

And I really don't understand how HQ can be so bad.
Just last year Palmiotti and Conner were doing Starfire and it was fine. Not great, but fine.

>>90756015
And I'll continue to recommend comics I like while calling you a giant baby, you giant baby.

>>90754100
Wait they count heels in the heroes' heights?

>>90755887
I was... yeah its shit but at least she is not stuck on earth 2 in a series that didn't even sell well.

>>90756083
Because Palmiotti had a little of editorial interference I guess, so Starfire had a chance to be good, not that it helped though since it gave us the Dick Grayson Master Torturer pages. Harley's book has no editorial overseeing whatsoever so those two can write whatever the fuck they want and nobody will say no

Recthreads don't open the door to casuals. It's the liveactions, the generals, the every cartoon under the sun, all of that.

If someone wants to start reading comics then why the fuck would you discourage that? This is short term investment for a long-term better /co/ you fucknugget.

>>90756208
>It's the liveactions, the generals, the every cartoon under the sun, all of that.
And the recs are what lead to all that, as I have explained.

>If someone wants to start reading comics then why the fuck would you discourage that?
Because frankly, if you cannot be bothered to take a few minutes to do some research, then you do not deserve to have any reading material in the first place.

>>90756231
It is absolutely a community. Merely one that has lost its way.

>>90756362
Not really,
YES IT IS SHIT!!!
But here she actually acts like Peej, or at least sort of. In Earth 2 she was package deal with Val-Zod and nothing more than a bitchy ex-girlfriend in a shitty costume.

>>90756208
Same anon also freaked the fuck out in the Wild Storm #2 thread when someone asked for Wildstorm recs

>>90756433
You know what's gonna happen, right? People are gonna do what you say and search about characters and what to do, and tell me what are honna find?, yeah that's right, what's more popular right now and they are gonna start reading that and get in the heads that characters are like what's popular.

Take Harley for example, is people like you say that searched for what to read of her that made her trash of ongoing popular since nobody had the audicity to recommend them good stuff and told them what to read, so now we are stuck with a Joker-free, girl power Harley that only ""fans"" like (i.e the people who got not introduction to the character)

So you see these recs are more than simple recs, they are an introduction to the characters so people know how a character should act, should be written so they don't fall for what's popular and "in" right now

>>90756433
Except he is doing research by asking folks here on a comic-focused web board. Funny that.

And rec threads didn't open the way to any of that shit because none of that shit I mentioned is related to wanting to read comics at all.

>>90756545
Ah so he's just an autist.

>>90756557
Once again, you excuse laziness. It is up to the individual to look past the popular trends and find something more suitable. It's your own damn fault for only latching on to whatever has the biggest hash tag.

>>90756545
Oof, you weren't kidding. >>90754538

I didn't want to go there, but like >>90756638 said, this guy's definitely got a brain problem.

>>90756715
Adn you seriously think that if people searched that somehow they gonna find the "suitable" one?. Get a clue, faggot. This ain't manga (I'm seriously getting an /a/ vibe from you), so people are gonna find a hard time finding the suitable and mostly than not they are gonna fall in shit writers territory and get in their heads that that's how characters should be written, and in the case the they find the "suitable" one they are gonna find the suitable for that already conceived thought, if people find it suitable the Harley ongoing then they are gonna find unsuitable Mad Love Harley since that's goes AGAINST the conceived notios that the Harley ongoing ut on the heads

GET IT RIGHT. WE AREN'T FASTERING NOTHING, WE ARE GUIDING PEOPLE SO SHIT LIKE EARTH 2, SHIT LIKE THE HARLEY BOOK, SHIT LIKE WONDY BY THE FINCHS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN

Tell me would you like for people to keep asking for Batman pissing his pants?. Some casual is gonna find that interesting and/or funny and gonna ask for more of that

Sure, some will object, but they are the same people worrying if they've recommended enough Batgirl runs, so I can't take them seriously.

>>90756638
>Except he is doing research by asking folks here on a comic-focused web board. Funny that.
I was unaware that having one's opinion dictated to them by others qualified as research. I always assumed that research involved collecting untainted data from which to draw a reasonable conclusion. But I guess that takes way to much effort. Better to bother a bunch of highly opinionated people to just tell you what to like.

>And rec threads didn't open the way to any of that shit because none of that shit I mentioned is related to wanting to read comics at all.
They absolutely do. They're the gateway that shitposters use to collect data, names they can use to pretend they're legit. Rec threads are a form of recon.

First of all, spell check. Second, none of that is my concern in the context of this discussion. Comic characters are always gonna be written like shit, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. My concern is this board, and how independent research is the only way we can get any decent discussion going, since people might actually know what the hell they're talking about with proper knowledge of the subject. But you clearly don't care about engaging in civil, well informed conversation, and that's sad.

>>90756929
You moron. When researching "best comics" or "good comics to start with" It's literally always someone's opinion about what's good or not. All you can do is try to find a reasonable consensus.

Which makes a board with many unique posters from all walks of life an ideal place to get recommendations from. Certainly better than any clickbaity "these are the top 10 comics you gotta read" lists that websites publish, since those are almost always just the opinions of literally one person.
