Speaking of the devil: I always thought 'pom' was synonymous with 'poof' as rude Australian slang for gay, which seemed to keep with the guy's character, saying in an earthy way that Lucifer is gay and he's alright with it. Today I learned that it actually means 'British' and I'm kinda let down by how it changes the scene.

There is the classic schoolyard song "Oy, I got a pom up me bum, mate"

There's really not a lot of difference when you take into account the traditional Aussie bloke's view of the British.

"This spider is full of enough venom to kill ten guys like me....Or twenty poms." I laughed about this.

Full list (because I'm bored at work): Abra Kadabra, Atomic Skull II, Blockbuster II (Roland Desmond), Cheetah III (Barbara Ann Minerva), Chronos (David Clinton), Circe, Copperhead, Doctor Phosphorus, Doctor Polaris (Neal Emerson), Enforcer ("Joe Gardner", a Draalian clone of Guy Gardner), Evil Star II, Gorilla Grodd, Hellgrammite, Killer Frost II, Killer Moth, Lex Luthor, Major Disaster, Metallo, Mist (Kyle Nimbus), Mr. Freeze, Ocean Master, Psycho-Pirate II (Roger Hayden), Rag Doll (Peter Merkel, Sr.), Shadow Thief, Shrapnel, Spellbinder III (Fay Moffit) a.k.a. Lady Spellbinder These are all the villians that I believed kept their enchanced powers after Underworld Unleashed. The Rogues got taken to Hell and later Wally West freed their souls and returned them to their bodies, which were running amok in Keystone City. Of course the New 52 reboot pretty much erased all of this, which is fine because some cool villians like Dr. Polaris died or otherwise became mutated like Killer Moth.

I'm still in awe that they made Killer Moth into a literal killer moth. Especially whenever I reread Morrison's JLA and Charaxas or whatever his new name was pops up in a prison cell.

I think turning Blue Devil into a literal blue devil who is angsty and tormented instead of a fun loving stuntman trapped in a power suit is pretty bad too. Then they made his goofy sidekick into a sexy red demon in leather pants.

Random question. Are their any notable or worthwhile runs of Vampirella that are worth checking out? I saw 'Vampirella meets Kiss' (or something like that) at my LCS today, and it suddenly occurred to me that I've never really heard anyone discuss, well, anything about Vampirella outside of her costume. Surely with as long as she's been around, she's had a good run or two in there? Or has she always just been a cheesecake character with nothing really worthwhile to speak of?

I'm enjoying Paul Cornell's current run. Unique art and setting (some weird pop art sex and afterlife obsessed future society she wakes up to. With clown police.) https://www.comixology.com/Vampirella-2017/comics-series/86428 #0 issue is free. Also, the new costume.  Edit: The previous Kate Leth run ditched the cheesecake too. No idea how it was, though. https://www.comixology.com/Vampirella-2016/comics-series/66911 Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jun 8, 2017 |

Is this music for real? This genuinely feels like a bad 90's superhero movie like B&R with none of the camp or innocence and naïveté of attempting something new for a new generation
