Thanks for all the recs, I'll check them out. Beasts of Burden especially looks like something she'd like.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It may be a little sex-heavy at times, but Moore's Promethea is also an excellent read.

Is Promethea all collected in one book, perchance? I'd like to read that myself.

I think it's collected into several trades; the initial series ran 32 issues.

For horror: 30 Days of Night (the original). Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse is horror/comedy. Both are in TPB. I was gonna recommend the Dark Horse Book of Hauntings but Beasts of Burden probably covers that.
If she's not generally interested in superheroes, I wouldn't recommend Watchmen. I mean, unless you want to ensure that she stays uninterested in them.

Ha, Strega! Well, her mom will probably like Watchmen, anyway. I'll look at the others as well.
Thanks, Matt.

Consuela, what's Digger?
Digger is the story of a Wombat who got lost, and an elephant-headed god, and a spirit child, and a hyena without a name, and skin lizards of surprising endearingness, and a quest, and a sacrifice, and a homecoming. It's really really splendid, and I should probably buy the novels--I read it on the website.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
This makes me laugh and laugh (and feel a little guilty about laughing): [link]

I can only hope the guy made that bad of a costume on purpose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He is entirely validated by that GIF, and he should be proud of what he's achieved.
