Over at DC Comics, several heroines will be getting their own books. Starting in early June, the new line of comics will consist of 24 new series that will start with issue number 1, as well as 25 continuing series that will not have a break in issue numbering. Brandon Fletcher, co-writer behind the new Batgirl book will also be tackling the new Black Canary series that launches in June. Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti will be the creative team for the new Starfire book. (Holy crap, they're drawing her closer to an actual living person. - Ed) DC is going to be making some changes and updates to various other characters as well, and getting back to basics with Batman and Wonder Woman.
So far, it looks to be that while Marvel is putting out a whole team of empowered women, DC is going at girl power from an angle of independence and individual strength characteristics. It's about time that Marvel and DC realize that girls read comics too! Check out the full list of DC's announcements below, and let us know which series you're most excited for in the comments!
