This old school fan would like to see more of my favorite twins ZARANA and ZANDAR in ARAH, and less of Zarana following Zartan around like a puppy for 100 issues.

That said, I like Jinx, Cover girl, Scarlett. But women soldiers are still a vast minority. When they become the pivotal characters, again and again, it's tiresome.
What's tiresome for me is reading about the same characters never evolving in a true sense. I'm a female fan, and yet I can relate to some of the male characters (tomboy, hah!). Right now, comics are going through a shift toward female leads. I'm on the fence about Dawn and wish I could commit to one viewpoint.
