ChrisInBaltimore Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think Greg Rucka writes strong women, but I'm not sure women like them or not. I was just chatting with a college friend (female) who is in a woman's comic book club and they had just finished th Queen & Country omnibuses and most of them were fans after reading them.
