    Currently loving Black Widow, Liu makes the character so epic...but I fear for the series since she will be leaving at #5 -__-
     
    But Liu will be taking over X-23's new series (which comes out next month in case anyone didn't know) which I'm looking forward too, She-Hulks comes out in November and will be featuring She-Hulk and Lyra. Batgirl is a great series, not sure of Gotham Sirens, Birds of Pray I here a lot of good things about from reviews.

    Bendis wrote a book called Alias back in the day. A groundbreaking comic, if I've ever read one. Jessica Jones is an ex-superhero PI. She's the classic film noir private gumshoe. She drinks, smokes, sleeps around, all the things a flawed yet lovable anti-hero does. Except she's a woman. IE, an actual human being, rather than just a pair of jugs and an attitude. Wonder Woman is a great, strong character and all, but she's not nearly as well stacked in depth as she is in the chest. 
    Bendis does a really good job at writing women as real, interesting people. Deena Pilgrim in his series Powers is another good example. She's not the main character, but she's still a total badass.

    I tried reading the first issue but didn't really like it, does it get better?  
     

    Thanks for all the suggestions, keep em coming, I will be putting in an order at Hero Comics, my local shop in Phoenix. 
     
    Anyone read Batwoman? I eyeball it, but I am not sure. 
    I like Gotham Sirens.
