What Batwoman comics should I read?

I've really gotten into Batwoman recently. I really find her back story interesting, and also she's so hot and gay and I want her to crush me like I'm some hapless goon. Are there any particularly good comic runs or series with Batwoman which I should check out?

WHAT COMICS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR ME TO READ?

It can be DC, Marvel, LGBTQ+, etc. I've been wanting to read more comic other than the ones I have already, and those are...

[1] Ms. Marvel & Venom

[2 • EDIT] Earth's Mightiest Heroes: Avengers (I was close, but I found the comic I was talking about)

But, if any of you can think of any recommendations, it would be appreciated. Thank you all for taking the time to read this post, I appreciate it. Love you all, bye!

Look What Just Popped Up ON DC Universe Infinite

Inject it directly into my veins.

Renee was one of the characters who I thought was done dirtiest by the New 52, and it’s only been within the last few years when it seemed like they finally remembered how awesome she is.

Even with only one issue available, Segura just seems to…get her. I liked it enough to actually pay for the issues instead of waiting.

Who’s Your Favorite Comic Book Character?

Hi everyone, I’m doing some personal research to see which superheroes or villains are the most popular among our LGBTQ+ community, and I’d love your input.

Who’s your favorite comic book character? They don’t have to be explicitly LGBTQ+—this is about your ride-or-die hero, villain, or any character that stands out to you.

Feel free to share why they’re your favorite if you want. I’m curious to see which characters mean the most to people in our community and see which one is the most common.

Thanks for sharing!

Comic Recommendations

I’m only just getting into comics but I wanted to get into more comics with queer rep. I’m not picky when it comes to specifics(like marvel vs dc) so let me know whatever you think is good!

Bobby and Kitty reunite in Exceptional X-Men #4

Loved this recent issue and it’s so nice to see Bobby back in the books! Really hope he gets some nice moments here, loving that Kitty is finally exploring her queerness too!

Already made a post asking for marvel specific. But I'm wondering if anyone has any good recommendations! (With lesbian/genderqueer protagonists or characters!)

POV: You just referred to Rachel Summers as a lesbian on r/xmen

I have never known so many Franklin Richards (Earth-811) fans in my life.

If him & Jon Broke Up tomorrow would we ever see Jay again? Be Honest?

I’m so serious when I ask this people love to pretend right now Jay & Jon are gonna be each others forever like for Example Wiccan & Hulking. However no one seems to wanna be real about this situation Jon is not a successful character as he is currently, Jay is not as popular as twitter & tumblr would have you believe. Jon’s fanbase is split in 2 because of an editorial choice that they’re in too deep to undue & his character has never recovered from it & people call him boring. Jay was only created to be Jon’s 1st male love interest & people call him boring as-well. Jay as he’s written only exists to serve Jon’s development & even that’s done poorly so that being said. And I want people to be really honest if Jay & Jon broke up tomorrow & they paired Jon up with a new Bf or Gf or something inbetween would we ever see Jay again?

Cause I don’t think we would maybe for an arc years down the road after the facts but as he is now the characters value begins & ends with his connection to Jon. And considering he’s been around for a few years now that’s pathetic.
