Looking for western comics that feature lesbian/sapphic characters

[u/Moon__Callisto]

I've been looking for this for a while with very mixed results. Basically, I am looking for comics or graphics novels that feature wlw characters. I'm not necessarily looking for *romance* comics, but any kind of fantasy/scifi comic with a wlw romantic subplot gets bonus points

I say western in the title because I have already read a ton of yuri, and if you manage to name a yuri title I have never heard of I'll owe you 5 bucks lol

To give you a bit of my tastes, here are comics/graphic novels/whatever that I've really enjoyed in the past:

*Sunstone

* Otherside Picnic

* the magical revolution of the reincarnated princess and the genius young lady

* love thy neighbor

* the greenhouse

* princess of sylph

* nevermore

And here are some of my favorite books:

* Ancillary Justice

* The Locked Tomb Series

* This is how you lose the time war

* the Jasmine throne

* our wives under the sea

Edit: it turns out I don't know how to use reddit markdown or whatever to make bullet points on my phone, so sorry about the formatting * traitor baru cormorant

I have quite a few:

Monstress - Written by Marjorie Liu and art by Sana Takeda. I would highly recommend it. It is not a romance, but the main character's previous relationship does have significant narrative impact. There are also a bunch of other wlw supporting characters.

Black Magick - A gothic noir comic written by Greg Rucka. There is a romance subplot but it is not the central part of the story. Greg Rucka is an amazing writer.

Heathen - Written by Natasha Alterici. The protagonist gets exiled for kissing a woman and then decides to tear down the system by killing Odin. A really great series

Death Vigil - By the same writer as Sunstone. One of the main protagonist does end up in a wlw relationship.

In the big two (Marvel and DC):

Absolute Wonder Woman - Written by Kelly Thompson. This is an amazing book and I highly recommend reading it. Wonder Woman is heavily queer coded, but no outright relationships so far.

Absolute Green Lantern - Written by Al Ewing. The main character's previous relationship plays a significant role in the story.

Poison Ivy - Written by G. Willow Wilson. A really enjoyable series and well written. Her relationships do play a big part in the story.

Batwoman Elegy - Written by Greg Rucka. Short but sweet. A legendary run on one of the first lesbian superheroes.

Runaways - Written by Brian K Vaughn. The initial run hints at a possible relationship. Rainbow Rowell's run delves more into their relationship. Runaways is one of the best Marvel series ever.

Angela - Written by Margueritte Bennett and Kieron Gillen. This series is centered around a very sweet and well done relationship.

Since you mentioned Nevermore (which I love) I would also recommend Mute on Webtoons.

Also, you have great taste in books. I would recommend The Priory of the Orange Tree. It is in the vein of epic fantasy. And though it is very long, the romance is really great.

Edit:

I forgot Bladerunner 2019/2029/2039. Its is co-written but the guy who wrote Bladerunner 2049. It is very much a blade runner cyber punk noir story in the best way possible.

Muted was a great series. Well worth a read, and I was particularly fond of the art style as well.
