Worth mentioning:

.hack/whatever has quite a few prominent female characters, in each version of the manga, the game, the anime and the OVA. I'm re watching the original anime right now and there are 3 female characters of significance (the female lead, the experienced older female character and the mysterious system admin)who each diverge quite a bit from the character types in the comics you mention. I actually think the manga does a better job of this then the anime.

I mean, .hack isn't really the same thing as the other comics you're describing, but that's only because the others are taking such a narrow approach to "comics about gamers". .hack is definitely a comic about gamers.

Yeah, this is really western comics about TRPGs. Japanese stuff has its own issues.

True. Are there any Western comics about games/gamers that don't follow the nights of the Dinner Table/Order of the Stick approach? I'm blanking.

Yet another fantasy gamer comic (http://yafgc.shipsinker.com) as described above is pretty different.
