Lesbian/Queer main characters:

Batwoman - She's a lesbian and her romantic relationships play a fairly important role in the series. Her villains are a bit B-list but they're enjoyable reads never the less. Some controversy over DC's decision to prohibit her "happiness" and troubles with the talented creative staff that are worth investigating beforehand but it's worth noting that these issues do not effect the trade paperbacks 1-3. Don't make my mistake and accidentally buy Batgirl comics and wonder when she's supposed to start kissing ladies.

Lumberjanes - The trade paperback is supposed to come out some time next year but individual issues are currently being published. All ages comic that portrays a scout type group at a summer camp full of monsters. I'm not personally reading it but I've heard nothing but good things.

Funhome - A proper "graphic novel." An unbelievably intelligent and nuanced perspective on gender and sexuality. Bechdel compares her coming out process against her late father's closeted homosexuality to draw an intimate but calculated portrait of American sexuality and family.

Lesbian/Queer minor characters:

Saga - Holy shit, I can't recommend this enough. So utterly fantastic that words fail me. I buy this for everyone I know who's even faintly interested in comics.

The Walking Dead - The queer characters don't show up for a long while but this is the series the very popular TV show is based on. It's a little "Drama-y" for me but my girlfriend's dad gobbles them up like there's no tomorrow.

Not queer but awesome:

Chew - A world where poultry is outlawed and people have superpowers only related to food. My mom called it "kind of weird" which it is. I can't get enough.

Revival - The dead come to life but they're mostly just cranky, okay, sometimes murderous, but not that often. Strong female protagonists.

The series is semi-continued in the New 52. The arc starts with Batwoman, Vol. 1: Hydrology. While Rucka no longer writes it, the art is still done by J.H. Williams III (who co-writes). The series is one of my favorites of The New 52.

I can't recommend the first few Batwoman trades enough, she's one of the best new characters in awhile. She doesn't have a big history, so just start at the begining of her solo comic with Batwoman: Elegy which is just before the New 52. It continues in the New 52 with her second volume Hydrology and goes from there untnil now. Get them, love them, and then prepare for a bit of heart wrench at the end of volume 4

Yup. Exactly. I read so much I always wait for the trade volumes. "Volume 1" is after Elegy. https://www.amazon.com/Batwoman-Vol-Hydrology-New-52/dp/1401237843

I bring links!

Lumberjanes Vol 1 (not yet released)

Batwoman: Elegy (also check out Batwoman volumes 1 2 3 and 4 )

Captain Marvel Vol 1 which I didnt really like as much as Volume 2 and Avengers Enemy Within (which is basically Captain Marvel Volume 3, but sadly it looks like its out of print, so you might be better off with the digital version.)

Ms Marvel vol 1 and vol 2 (not yet released)

She-Hulk vol 1 and vol 2 (not yet released)

Most of these will be cheaper on instocktrades.com or varoius other websites, so you might want to shop around.
