The Comic Book world has been dominated by testosterone for a long time now. But now DC comics are doing their best to make a product for the fairer sex.

Comics have been long dominated by male writer, male artists, and male characters. Comics are just one of those things in this world that is mostly followed by the guys, much like cars, video games or Football.
From a business angle this leaves out around half of the human race from buying your product.

DC comics plans to introduce Minx, a line of graphic novels aimed at young adult female readers.
The line up of books includes:
* “Clubbing,” by Andi Watson and Josh Howard
* “Re-Gifters,” by Mike Carey, Marc Hempel, and Sonny Liew
* “Good as Lily,” by Derek Kirk Kim and Jesse Hamm
* “The P.L.A.I.N. Janes,” by Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg.

Each book will retail for $10 or less.
“Clubbing” is about a London party girl who solves mysterys.
“Re-Gifters,” a Korean-American teenager in California who enjoys martial arts.
“Good as Lily” is about a young woman who meets three versions of herself at different ages.
“The P.L.A.I.N. Janes” is about Jane, a transfer student in a suburban high school. Jane’s family fled to suburbia after Jane survived a terrorist attack that blew up a cafe in fictional Metro City.
