I am a Female Comic Book Fan

As the title states, I would like to claim that I am a female comic book fan. Your first thought would probably be skepticism. Really? A female comic book fan? I admit, I only really got into actual comics part late 2010 and so purists would probably tell you I am a try-hard, one of those girls who only say they like comics to be 'cool'. Actually, I really loved the whole DC/Marvel universe through animated shows such as Cartoon Network's Teen Titans, Justice League and Young Justice, etc since I was a young child. DC/Marvel was my childhood. But I digress. My point being is that, I love superheroes and I am a girl. At a younger age, because I was a girl I would look up to other girl superheroes. Sometimes I would dress up as them, relate to the characters and pick their toys;  but not because they're 'sexy' and absolutely not because I, myself, wanted to be sexy - I just really loved the cartoons and my idols. As I got older, I realised that I wanted to delve into the actual physical comic books and spent a lot of money into the books. I fell in love with comics, and as complicated as the whole timelines, different universes and diverse characters thing, I kept with it; buying new comics every week and buying tradebacks of compiled comics. I was truly emotionally invested in the characters and their stories.

Then rather suddenly, DC announced that they will scrap all current running series and create the 'New 52'. At first I was appalled, but I tried to keep an open mind on the situation. They had promised better things - including gender equality.
Throughout the year of the new DC reboots, there were announcements and rumours of more female artists and comic writers and more comic books about female superheroes. But I was to be disappointed. The new lineup didn't include more female artists/writers and it certainly didn't include a lot of female centric comics.
