So a week or two back I made a post (LJ, DW) asking for recs of non-Marvel/DC comics that portrayed women well. octopedingenue asked if she could rec Marvel/DC books she found non-skeevy, so I figured I'd throw it open to you guys as a whole: how about mainstream comics, superhero or not, that you find the portrayals of women non-problematic?

Last night I dreamed that I was part of a group that was creating a musical making gentle fun of RPGs. During the dream, I wrote several verses of various songs to be sung by stock characters, the innkeeper, the barmaid, the fighter, etc.

I was so disappointed when I woke up that I didn't remember any of the lyrics. :(
