Hi everyone. I hope that this questions hasn't been asked before in this this group (bare with me if it has); What is your favorite female character in comic books/graphic novels? And even more importantly; Why? I'm very interested in your thoughts and opinions on female characters.

Agent 355 in Y the last man. One of my favorite characters of all time due to her humanity. She's one of those well rounded characters that Make an unbelievable story relatable
The women in Kelly Sue DeConnick's books. They're wonderful characters, really human and authentic. But I especially loved Deathface Ginny in Pretty Deadly. She's just really cool, with so much potential.Penny Rolle in Bitch Planet is getting up there. She's just fantastic. Two issues in, and she's started prison riots in both of them. Anyone who uses "Where'm I s'posed to put my tits?" as a battle cry to start a brawl is automatically awesome. She's impossible not to love.

Strong female characters such as she are often unchanging throughout a story but 355 keeps evolving alongside Yorick. One of my favorites too, definitely.

I've loved her Captain Marvel run. It's one of my favourite titles out there.
Stephanie Brown from Brian Q Miller's Batgirl comics. She's a clever character with a strong, distinct personality who is usually out of her depth but succeeds because she never quits. You can't help but root for her.If we're considering manga under the broad definition of graphic novel there are a lot of series with great female main characters.
Kate Spencer (Manhunter ) in DC last monthly with that name was a personal favorite too. I liked the Yost version of X23 a lot too, along with the Stephanie brown batgirl and the latest Elektra /ms marvel/captain marvel books
Yeah , I met Marc at SDCC because I had promised to buy 10 copies of any book that killed off the zero hour Manhunter. He was a great guy and always entertains me with his writing.The following year he tossed me a custom shirt of Kate being ambushed by the shadow thief(#5s cover I think) great book
Agreed on the latest iteration of Captain Marvel (though I like Monica Rambeau as well). From what little I've seen of Perez's run on Wonder Woman, Wondy was amazing there. Strong yet compassionate--exactly as she should be.
Easy. My own creation, Julia, from my graphic novel, Crescent City Magick :) http://mybook.to/CCM-v1
