OTW Fannews: Loving the Fangirl

Mashable highlighted the emergence of more female fans as superheroes. The latest is Faith “Zephyr” Herbert from Valiant Comics’ Harbinger series. The “sci-fi loving, Firefly-quoting fangirl” now has a series of her own. "Part of what’s gained Faith attention in the comic-book community is that she doesn’t fit the mold of overly skinny or sexualized female superheroes. 'I've heard some very moving comments from comic fans who had never seen a hero who looked like them on the cover of a comic before the Faith covers were unveiled...So there is very much a demand for a book like this.'"
