It's been mentioned in the superhero comics area, but I wanted to draw peoples attention to the comic series Rat Queens. It is amazing.
Who are the Rat Queens? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they’re in the business of killing all god’s creatures for profit. It’s also a darkly comedic sass-and-sorcery series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief. This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that is like Buffy meets Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack!
It is extraordinarily funny, features some of the best women characters in comics and if you aren't already reading it you should be.
In addition to the excellent comic it is also being turned into an animated series (http://www.themarysue.com/rat-queens-cartoon/), because it is that ****ing good.
