    Add me to the ones who recommend Andreyko's Manhunter.
    A personal taste is the Chase series.

    This. But with confidence!!!! I do not understand why it and Gotham Central were not immediately pegged for film and streaming first out of the gate

    I'm up for anything, just please give me suggestions for a great starting pointa if it's not too much to ask. Oh, and maybe suggest more mini series' or short lived runs.

    (feel free to stop reading at this point and reply if this this is too long of an intro post for you, just gonna recap what I've read, and what I'm planning to read.)

    Last time I asked:

    I ended up reading a bunch of Batwoman and Batgirl new 52 stuff stuff. it was a blast. Also ended up reading a lot of Harley Quinn from The New 52, but it got kinda old around the 15th issue. There a spot where it picks up? Maybe some good side stories?

    Planning to read Aquaman Rebirth for Mera, the Black Canary solo run, and the Starfire Solo run. Maybe recommend more from them.
    Stephanie Brown run as Batgirl (2009) really fitting for your search of cute girl and fun adventure

    Which ones are on-going, and which ones are limited runs?

    Here's what I'm aware of:
    * Batman / Catwoman (12 issues)
    * Catwoman
    * Crush and Lobo (8 issues)
    * Harley Quinn
    * Icon and Rocket Season One (6 issues)
    * Sensational Wonder Woman
    * Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow (8 issues)
    * Wonder Girl
    * Wonder Woman
    * Wonder Woman Black & Gold (6 issues)
    So, is there anything I've left out of currently published DC comics that regularly focus on a female lead character?

    If your looking for quality writing...

    Zatanna by Paul Dini (2010) he writes for about 15 issues or so.

    Birds of Prey by Chuck Dixon, (Black Canary & Oracle) (1999) Gail Simone's run is good to, she brings in Huntress and Vixen.

    Batgirl (2001) (Cassandra Cain) the first 25 issues are a good read.

    I hear Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman is great to, but I tend to follow Canary and Z as my favourite super heroines.

    They must not be publishing anymore, so none. After all, I saw this thread about DC stopping in June, so it must be true. Plus, I saw it on the internet, which as we all know is completely trustworthy...

    Thankfully Andreyko's Manhunter was already mentioned a couple times before I got here. I'd be baffled if it weren't.

    Superfamily:
    New 52 Supergirl (surprisingly mediocre to good throughout despite numerous creative team changes). The Red Daughter of Krypton arc and Crucible arc were the best though
    Andreyko's Supergirl
    Gates' Supergirl
    Power Girl (Palmiotti/Conner is better than the second half but the second half is okay)
    Power Girl: Power Trip

    Wonder Woman:
    Wonder Woman runs by Perez, Jimenez, Rucka (first run), Simone, Rucka (second run), and Orlando
    Legend of Wonder Woman by de Liz
    JLA: League of One

    Batfamily:
    Brubaker's Catwoman
    Valentine's Catwoman
    Apparently Ram V's Catwoman is good but I haven't read it myself
    Puckett's Batgirl (Cass)
    Bryan Q Miller's Batgirl (Steph)
    Kesel's Harley Quinn (pre new 52)
    Dini's Gotham City Sirens
    Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death

    Other stuff:
    Rucka's Checkmate
    Wagner's Madame Xanadu
    Abnett's Silencer
    Humphries' Green Lantern
    DC Comics Bombshells digital first'
    Vixen: Return of the Lion

    Forgot about that, that's good to.

    The Paul Dini Zatanna run though, remains one of my all time favourite reads.

    Mine too. His plots could be 'meh' but in terms how Zee should be characterized and how her world should feel like, Dini is the gold standard.

    most of the titles I thought of have already been mentioned, so I'll just add Stars and Stripes by Geoff Johns.
