Oooh! (Early) “Fables” is an awesome entry into comics. It motivated my reentry into comics after I had drifted away and not read any for years and was pretty much also my first exposure to non-superhero comics, I believe.
I almost recced Simone’s “Birds of Prey” as a good stand-alone comic entry (it’s the only DC I read, and I wasn’t lost or confused by any of it), but then remembered the horrid cheesecakey art, so I think we all sort of…become immune to it after a while? I hate it sooo much, but I have to say that on a list of things I find objectionable, if that’s the ONLY thing and it comes with awesome women and a good story, I am ridiculously willing to handwave it. Which I feel bad about, but sigh, the line has to be drawn somewhere or I’ll never read/watch anything.
But anyway, my experiences in converting women have been similar. You just have to find the right book, because just like with every medium ever? Most of it will be exploitative and/or offensive.
