Unmasked: Should You Be Reading 'Strong Female Protagonist'?

Unmasked: Should You Be Reading 'Strong Female Protagonist'?

Comics Alliance — With Should I Be Reading... ?, ComicsAlliance hopes to offer you a guide to some of the best original ongoing comics being published today. The Strong Female Character trope is in some ways as damaging as the Damsel in Distress; an archetype that rejects the feminine, and thus presents new limits to what a woman can be. Alison Green, the actual protagonist of Strong Female Protagonist, is indeed physically strong --- the strongest on Earth --- but she transcends the trope. She’s just a girl, standing in front of a world, asking it to let her live a normal life.

Reading List: The Ten Essential Neil Gaiman Comics

Comics Alliance — With Neil Gaiman's American Gods coming to television soon, what better time to explore his work? While his writing career is extensive, including short stories, novels, movies, kids' books, and more, we're going to focus on his work in the field of comics. For this list, I’ve included work I consider to be both notable and representative of Gaiman’s storytelling style. These stories are fantastical, humorous, horrifying, and just plain weird, all at the same time. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.
