Strong Female Protagonist – Brennan Lee Mulligan & Molly Ostertag
This book was such a great read that it got me to start reading superhero comics. I’ve always thought that superhero comics were a bit cheesy and over-dramatic. However, Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag crafted such a great story that I’d began to follow the web comic long after reading the graphic novel. The novel follows superhero Alison Green as she tries to live the life of a normal human being after realizing that she can’t save the world from every evil that threatens to destabilize it. She is literally a “strong female protagonist” and quite relatable as she tries to live a normal life (like going to college, studying for exams and having friends) while still trying to manage as a superhero. The other characters in this novel also show that superhero characters don’t have to be black or white. They have colourful personalities that make you love and hate them at the same time.
