Guardian has an article detailing the past and present appeal for females reading superhero comics. Of the many areas the article touches on, one such is that there has been a legacy of quite a bit of grizzly, uncool, and unbalanced violence on female characters which, hmm, may have dissuaded pigtailed Susie from reading onto issue twelve from issue eleven. In any case, things are changing, slowly, as some things do, but they are-a-changing. And that’s awesome.
