Other Recommendations

Y the Last Man

• By Brian K. Vaughan (w) & Pia Guerra (a)
• When all living mammals with a Y chromosome — with exception of one man and his monkey — suddenly die, the world is thrown into turmoil.
• We recommend this series because a large science-related event sets the stage for the plot, and figuring out what happened and why drives the storyline.
• And because there's not many males around, there's lots of great female characters.

Ms. Marvel

• By G. Willow Wilson (w) & various artists
• Kamala Khan, a Muslim Pakistani-American teenager, comes into her superhero powers and tries to make sense of them in the context of her religion.
• The stories by Wilson do a great job balancing Kamala's everyday life with her family and as a Muslim with her superhero adventures.

Captain Marvel

• By Kelly Sue Deconnick (w) & various artists
• Carol Danvers has a background as an US Air Force pilot before she becomes the new Captain Marvel upon receiving the Kree abilities of the previous Captain Marvel when he died.
• Elizabeth particularly recommends the earlier Deconnick storylines that involved Carol dealing with having both her superpowers and being a pilot.

Lady Killer

• By Jamie S. Rich (w) & Joëlle Jones (a)
• This limited series follows a '60s suburban housewife is also a paid assassin.
• So, if Alison and Donnie's accidental homicide is your favorite…

Batwoman: Elegy

• By Greg Rucka (w) & J.H. Williams III (a)
• Elegy is more or less an origin story for Kate Kane, who is the Batwoman.
• We recommend it because this storyline deals with complex family dynamics that really remind us of Sarah and Helena's relationship. Kate Kane is also a lesbian character with a military background.

Sex Criminals

• By Matt Fraction (w) & Chip Zdarsky (a)
• Two people discover that they can stop time when they have an orgasm, and they use this, uh, talent for various means.
• Elizabeth recommends it for Orphan Black fans because it's a story about discovering something about yourself connects you to a whole world about which you knew nothing.
