Super Hero Comics Featuring Women/Feminist Characters

[brigid]

Let's put together a list of super hero comics featuring women who are actual characters, not just cheese cake. I'll start the ball rolling, and you can add any you think of, ok? I'll go through the list later and review the ones I especially like, and anyone who has a comic they love/create can do the same.

No Longer Updating
The Green Avenger by Abby Lehrk.
The Adventures Of Super Hero Girl by Faith Erin Hicks.
Pancakes (short story, completed) by Kat Leyh.

Active
Strong Female Protagonist by Brennan Lee Mulligan & Molly Ostertag.
The Nonadventures Of Wonderella by Justin Pierce.
The Adventures Of Gyno-Star by Rebecca Cohen.

I purposely excluded a few super-hero comics featuring female cast members because they're included entirely for T&A. However, this list looks pretty paltry. What have you got?

I recced a bunch of magical girl webcomics recently -- here's the original rec post, for anyone who wants longer descriptions =)

Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki -- Comedy/drama story, ongoing.

Mechagical Girl Lisa A.N.T. - Comedy story, discontinued.

Angel Moxie - Comedy/drama story, finished.

Gorgeous Princess Creamy Beamy - Comedy, short arcs, discontinued.

Some fancomics: one for Kim Possible, and a bunch for Sailor Moon: Four King Hell, New Moonlight, Sailor Moon CS, Saga of the Orb of Time.

Zebra Girl tries to be a superhero for a while.

Girly is more "roving do-gooder adventurers", but still fabulous.

Shadoweyes is also fabulous.

...and the search for these has made me realize I don't follow a whole lot of superhero comics period. So if there are a ton of cringeworthy male-dominated ones out there, I'm blissfully ignorant XD

Definitely tracking this post for more recs!

Thanks for those! I hadn't thought of magical girl comics I guess because I was thinking of Western super heroes only but OF COURSE magical girl comics would have a LOT of the same themes and be more woman/girl-friendly. So thanks so much for posting those! I don't read ANY of them so have a LOT to check out.

Brigid -- I did indeed receive your invitation to post about Me and My Muses here. I intend to, but I think I should really wait until the story comes off hiatus some time next month [and I get Internet access in my new place]. I will at that time...I swear!

I look forward to reading what you have to say!
