Hey, welcome! I was kind of in your position last year, finally getting into comics. The folks here helped a lot.
As for good comics with heroines, some I'm enjoying right now are Lazarus, Rachel Rising, and We Can Never Go Home

I thought it was just a fun tongue-in-cheek rebuke to a weirdly out-of-place shitpost :/
Now we're fighting over sales. Dammit. I hate talking about sales.

Good books with female leads...
Lazarus
Shutter
Revival
Saga
Monstress
Wayward
Copperhead
Black Magick
Cry Havoc
Paper Girls
The Wicked + The Divine
I Hate Fairyland
All of these are non-super hero books from Image comics.
Also a good place to look up new titles suggested to you is comixology.com even if you aren't going to be buying digitally. They have an easy to use search feature to find what you are looking for. There you'll get synopsis and 3 page previews so you can see the art for yourself.
Welcome friend.
The Faith mini series from Valaint just ended and there's an ongoing series starting this July.
DC hates it too.

The Vision's selling a lot less than I expected.
marvel vs. dc discussions always operate under Worthington's Law

Maybe I'm secretly the spirit of DC.
I think because the DC movies suck people think the comics suck.

It really shows the difference between online hype and actual sales figures. Maybe it does really well digitally?
but also: they wicked don't
like, most of the stuff people say about MoS and BvS is kinda dumb nonsense bullshit that has nothing to do with what's actually in those movies? I've read a lot of people saying a whole bunch of stuff about Zack Snyder without paying attention to context.
I'm not saying they're making up all the bad parts in those movies, just, they're deliberately ignoring the good, and then twisting the bad parts so they look worse
Nah BvsS was bad not from just a comic standpoint but as a movie too.
That is all I will say on that
Edit: I know some of you guys liked it. So don't flame me
I'm guessing it's due to said people having had an issue with DC at one point
Hey I like Man of Steel and Think BvS is just okay.
But yeah it seems that ever since the movies haven't been what people wanted that any thread with DC Comics in it just gets shit on.
Like the dude saying that there isn't anything interesting in rebirth outside of the trinity items.
Nah, it's console wars bullshit, it's tribalism applied to late-stage capitalism. It's Sega v. Nintendo, it's Coke v. Pepsi, it's Sony v. Microsoft. You like one, you swear the other is literal garbage from the pits of hell.
Even grown-ups can get it, hence, Devin Faraci's entire career.

I don't contribute cuz I don't know (or read) most of what you guys recommend.

This plus
This. There's a surprising number of people still salty AF over New 52, plus the traditional age-old rivalry battle to the death stupidity, leading to some impressive dumbness.
Some time this fall, I think.
edit: October!

Just in time for election season.
Strong shade being thrown at Tyrant in this post. Strong Shade.
Black panther dialog really is savage.
Dude helps fund and works with a team and then tells them he will put them if he has to
Its coming back in the winter
I have always been iffy on Ms Marvel. Sometimes its good sometimes I really don't like it. It is wildly inconsistent for me.

Still going through Valiant on Scribd, and, yep, Archer and Armstrong is my favorite.
It's like Hercules and Amadeus Cho all over again.

"love the man, hate the sin" - my grandma on interacial dating
Nah, they didn't have to. They just made movies good enough to have a dedicated audience, and said dedicated audience includes the people who are paid to watch all these movies and write about them in the press. That, along with the rise of the "fan-turned-movie-critic" phenomenon (think Ain't It Cool News and all its derivatives), means there is at least some unconscious bias. The question is just how honest a given reviewer is with that bias.

Why does he wear the mask!?

Welcome!
For new readers, I always suggest Marvel Unlimited. Get a month's subscription and try the first few issues of as many books as you can. It'l' give you an idea of what kind of superhero comics you might enjoy.
My starting recommendations would be the links I've put below. Fairly self-contained and you won't need too much knowledge of the rest of the Marvel comics.

Yeah, that global warming panel might be my favourite from that run.
It really is the best, love Armstrong perpectual fuck ups while Gilad is trying to keep the Geomancer's alive.
Really intrestsed in the new stuff they announced today.
