MINX (COMICS)

'Minx' is an imprint of DC Comics that publishes graphic novels aimed at teenage girls. It was announced in November 2006, following several years of planning ^[1]. Senior Vice President Karen Berger and Group Editor Shelly Bond are supervising the imprint.
DC has contracted Alloy Marketing + Media to market the line and its books, with a budget of either $125,000 ^[2] or $250,000 ^[3]. Berger has stated ^[4] that the success of translated manga and Marjane Satrapi's ''Persepolis'' among teenage girls helped to motivate the creation of Minx.
Initial online reaction to the imprint was a combination of optimism and skepticism, with some controversy over the sexual connotations of the name ^[5] as well as the small proportion of female creators in the initial lineup, ^[6] especially due to an emphasis on female creators in the New York Times article that broke the story. ^[2]
