Girls + Comics

shaenon posted a link to a "discussion" on some comics fan-forum (John Byrne's maybe? I forget). It was basically some guy asking for comics to give to his girlfriend to get her into comics. And then of course he got the standard list of Comics Chicks Dig. A few people did try and find out more about the girlfriend's tastes to try and tailor their recomendations. But mostly it was the standard list of Girl Accesible comics. Not that those are automatically bad. I mean I'd recomend stuff like Gaiman's Sandman, Willingham's Fables, Jeff Smith's Bone or Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise to anyone regardless of gender, age or even species...
Me, if I actually dated, would just push the girl towards my long boxes and shelves of trades and tell her to browse them and make her own decisions. Maybe I'd recomend a few places to start based on her tastes, but I'd trust that if we're romantically linked then we have some commanality of tastes to start with. Unless it was just sexual. Then I guess I'd point her to the drawers where the porn is stashed...
But thats a moot point, since I don't date and have no real interest in dating. But there are probably guys out there still totally in the dark as to what to test out on female types in regards to comics. And of course I realize that there are women who read my journal (Wow!). And some of them READ COMICS! *Total Shock*. Hell, some of them CREATE comics! *TOTAL DISBELIEF AS MIND IS BLOWN*
So ladies, what comics DO you read?

Quick Update
May. 5th, 2006 05:26 pmSlept until 5PM today and I actually feel rested for the first time in weeks. Of course that meant I have to stay up tomorow morning to deposit my checks if I want any money before Tuesday. Tonight is night 5 in my 6 day work week. Which means the next pay check will be fat with the sweet, sweet overtime. Yay for putting me closer to getting a new computer...
Ok and now one of those Friday 5 things...
