I'm ashamed to ask this, because I feel like I should know it.
What are good comics for a girl who's 8 or 9? The stipulation (from her dad) is that he doesn't care if she reads them and decides that she can shoot fireballs or fly; he just doesn't want any horrible stereotypes of women, especially regarding body image, to be front and center.
Is Bone good for that age? I honestly don't know what titles are good for younger kids. I was going to say Teen Titans Go!, but then I thought that might be *too* young.
I totally had 9-year-olds devour Bone.
Definitely Bone.
I've been enjoying Atomic Robo lately.
Atomic Robo ships a day behind every other comic?
Or today. I thought today was yesterday and tomorrow was today.
Hereville has been on my TBR list since it came out; it definitely sounds like exactly the thing I would have devoured over and over and over as a 9-10-year-old girl myself (and, when I finally get my hands on it, I'm pretty sure 43-year-old me will devour it too).
Gaiman's
Stardust
or his two Death books,
or any of Jill Thompson's Scary Godmother stories, or her Little Endless Storybook?
I'm reading good things about Anya's Ghost, which intrigued me in the Halloween display at my store last month. Description says 12 and up, though.
Last episode of Brave and the Bold! The series was way better than it deserved to be. I seriously don't understand why I liked it so much. I can't stand the camp of the 1960s Batman series, yet I loved BatB. I don't get it.

BatB is light hearted and more silly than campy. It's pretty affectionate towards 60s era comics, and didn't have the smirky, "I'm slumming" vibe of Batman-TV.
JZ saw an episode and said, "It's just like The Tick!"
