The lord giveth and the lord taketh
Birds of Prey and She-Hulk have both been canceled. This is, to put it mildly, distressing. I tend to read a lot of minis and catch up on series in trades, but I do like to have a handful of books to follow monthly. I'm now down to only two books, Ms. Marvel and Wonder Woman. So, fellow comics fans on the flist! I need some recs for new books to replace the plethora of titles that have been canceled, or just completed their runs, in the past few months.
Comics genres I like: biographies/autobiographies, super-heroes, comedy, westerns, war stories, horror, science fiction, noir/crime fiction, slice of life, martial arts books, 'alt-comics', history and romance. Just about everything, really.
Things I look for: good female characters, interesting and eye-catching art, solid pacing, smart storytelling and good dialog. I like fun stories and not-so-fun stories, small stories and big stories. Just good comics. :)
Hook me up people! What awesome books are you following? (btw, I just ordered Janes In Love, Criminal: the Dead and Dying, French Milk and Buffy vol 3).

The most recent round of Marvel solicits contained both She-Hulk's last hurrah, and a new mini that I am so picking up because frankly, I've been wanting a story like this, and talking about my visceral need for a story like this, for roughly a year now.
SHE-HULK #38
Written by PETER DAVID
Penciled by STEVE SCOTT
Cover by DAVID WILLIAMS
SHE-HULK R.I.P.!
She's been savage. She's been sensational. She's been an avenger. She's been a lawyer. She's been a bounty-hunter. But there's one thing She-Hulk has always been, in all of her many series... cancelled. But it hasn't stopped her yet! In this oversized final issue, Peter David brings his run on the Jade Giantess to a close... but can Jen use her last remaining pages to save her friends from a truly mammoth threat? Catch her now, before someone turns her red!
At least Jen gets a classic Shulkie cover for her sendoff. I... don't have anything to say about the cancellation right now (other than WAH!), but I'll probably spam your flists with my whining later.
MODELS, INC. #1 (of 4)
Written by PAUL TOBIN
Pencils by VIÇENC VILLAGRASSA
Cover by SCOTT CLARK
Fashion Week is always a hectic time for models, and this year is no exception. Between escaped wolves, robbery attempts, and overly friendly police officers, Mary Jane Watson, Patsy Walker, Jill Jerold, Chili Storm and Millicent (Millie the Model) Collins are testing the limits of their endurance. But when a brilliant young set designer is found murdered with three bullet holes in his back, and Millie proves to be the prime suspect, the models are forced to play detective in order to save one of their own!
I hate the cover, but I am SO ON BOARD FOR THIS. The only thing that could make me love this more (other than a new cover artist), would be a cameo by Janet Van Dyne.
