Army of One Volume One by Tony Lee and Yishan Li
Carrie Taylor is more than what she seems: she is a fragment of Sister Fortune, a sorcerer who was destroyed in battle by Brother Havoc centuries ago.

Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: feminism! Since it’s Women’s History Month, this seemed like the most appropriate topic.
I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura
If a fifth-grade girl came up to you and said that she used a giant hammer to slay giants, would you believe her? Barbara believes that the world is full of monsters that only she can see, but all her peers and teachers see is a rebellious loner. What is the truth — and what will Barbara do about it?
Bitch Planet Volume One by Kelly Sue Deconnick and Valentine De Landro
Are you a woman with thoughts and ambitions of your own? Then you’re about to be exiled to Bitch Planet, where all such unruly females are contained for the good of the patriarchy. The only question is, will the prisoners work together to improve their lot in life, or will they let personal grudges and squabbles make things even worse?
And now that I’ve got your attention, I will remind my fellow U.S. residents to set your clocks ahead by one hour this weekend. Yes, it stinks, but you don’t want to be behind everyone else come Monday!
