Having been on this weird retro kick I've been reading the old WoD Clan Novels.

And I still get a kick that Vykos got so pissed he ripped his dick off and threw it at another vampire.

Then, rather than grow a new one, being a flesh crafter and all, she said bugger it and remade herself as a woman!

Talking of Dr Aphra, a personal fave of mine, her latest series has her teaming up (separately) with both Luke and Han.

The covers really show how different actors' image rights affect these kinds of things (Han looks much more on model inside the comic)

Hopefully we'll see her with the JLE or the 2000s JSA, and she's definately important to Infinite Crisis at least!

And y'know there is a lot of a lot of DC history and character to go through!

Damn it, Barry, writing out the two women who created Infinity, Inc and crediting it all to one man!

(New History of the DC Universe #2, still a very pretty book even if there is Power Girl erasure!)
