Jen or Dinah?
Happy New Year, folks! I'll get to my 2005 evaluation/2006 preparation later (yeah, I'm still behind), but as of right now, I'm composing my top ten heroine list. It's easy to pick my favorite hero because at any time since I was 12, it was either Spider-Man, Captain America, Flash, or Green Lantern. As far as my favorite heroine goes, that always changes (my friend says it's because I can't commit to a woman).
Last year my number 1 was Buffy. Actually, I think it's always been Buffy since I started this. But, well, she's sliding back a little because, ya know, no new Buffy in like two years.
Two heroines stood out this year, and I'm trying to decide who should be #1. She-Hulk and the Black Canary. They're smart, they kick serious butt, and they look great with green. But who do I like better? Gail Simone's been writing an awesome Black Canary in Birds of Prey, but recently Dan Slott's She-Hulk book has been one of my favorite Marvel titles.
Argh, I can't choose! They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Can anyone come up with one solid reason (preferably not involving Morena Baccarin) that gives one the clear advantage over the other? Here's what my list looks like now:
10) Snow White
9) Mary Marvel
8) Battygirl
7) Spider-Girl
6) Storm
5) Invisible Woman
4) Buffy Summers
3) Wonder Woman
2) ?????
