Superhero comics have come a long way. The range of female superheroes, vigilantes, and villains has broadened considerably since earlier times. There's a lot more on offer for feminist fans of mainstream comics.

But today's fans face a whole new set of stumbling blocks: objectifying, inappropriately sexualised art styles; gruesome deaths designed only to forward a male character's story; and a generally held public opinion that superhero comics are the domain of boys and men and therefore have no need to be female-friendly.
