Okay, let's try this again. This is a continuation of ONE sub-topic I brought up, in the "Women In Comics" thread, which has since been locked.
Please note the title of this thread. I created it to discuss a very particular, specific topic:
Which comics do you think will appeal to women, especially newcomers? Just naming comics (or particular creators' runs) will be fine. However, it would be really cool if you discuss *why* you think it might appeal to them.
Here are some guidelines to consider:
* I won't be so foolish as to believe that women of all ages and backgrounds have the same kind of taste. So when I say "appeals to women", I mean, (1) won't insult their intelligence", and (2) something they can potentially relate to, regardless of their gender
* I am especially interested in non-superhero titles .
* They don't necessarily have to be independent comics...
* or titles "aimed at" female readers (the way Spider-Man :heart: Mary Jane attempts to be, for example).
* Avoid mentioning manga, if possible (not because they're not interesting; it's just that my purpose is to highlight titles that women might not yet be reading, in spite of their merits, and it seems like women of all ages are already consuming a hefty share of manga titles -- at least the more well-known ones).
Understood? Cool. So let's begin...
