In
no particular order...
Purgatori
Company: Chaos! Comics
Currently: Limited series
Why She Heats You Up: Blood-sucking vampire goddess who used to be
a mortal Egyptian slave by the name Sakarra. Known for bringing mass
amounts of evil to all around her and even creating her own vampire
city, what's not to love?
Why She Leaves You Cold: You don¹t have to worry about not calling
her the morning after, because you most likely won't be alive the
morning after.
Vampirella
Company: Harris Comics
Currently: In ongoing series.
Why She Heats You Up: She's a killer with a conscience. One of the
sexiest vampires to run against Stoker's classic, she still craves
blood but only kills the baddies, plus she wears that really skimpy
outfit. Impervious to cold, sharp wit and a bad ass attitude make
her highly desirable. Plus, her current series is one of the best-written
ones to date, thanks to Millar.
Why She Leaves You Cold: She's a bit flighty, taking off whenever
the urge hits her without actually giving you all the details, mostly
so you'll be safe. Has a bad habit of taking on entire legions of
bad guys just to prove a point.
Catwoman
Company: DC Comics
Currently: Ongoing series
Why She Heats You Up: She runs around in a skintight outfit, kicks
ass and steals jewels and other valuables, where's the problem? Selina
Kyle has delighted us in all her incredible forms: from Kitt's TV
portrayal to the deadly, dangerous, drop-dead gorgeous movie version
played by Michelle Pfieffer to her many comic forms, ranging from
the classic purple-and-green skirt and kitty mask to the current run
that sports an even sleeker remake of Selina, with short-cropped hair
and the same tough gal attitude that turns the baddest bullies into
purring kitties. Why She Leaves You Cold: Your chances of action will
be cut into by crime sprees, saving cats and dealing with Batman,
who has a really bad habit of popping up unannounced. Selina will
always have a soft spot for the bat and that means all the action
you'll see is her feeding her pussies.
Licorice Dust and Boo Kitty
Company: BroadSword Comics
Currently: Appearances in Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose ongoing series.
Why They Heat You Up: The vampire vixen and her feline lover make
up this devious duo. Their appearances in Tarot have garnered a lot
of attention, so much so that issue #12 will be all about their origins.
Boo Cat and Licky D are most at home in the graveyards enjoying each
other. Most don't turn away from a sexy duo like that! This isn't
Batman and Robin! Seductive drawings by Jim Balent, with the occasional
penciled rendering by Holly GoLightly, make many swoon over this deadly
pair. But underneath their evil charms lie hearts of gold, at least
for each other!
Why They Leave You Cold: Well, in case you haven't noticed, Boo and
Licky D are all about each other. The only other sparkle you'll find
in Boo Kitty's eye is for Tarot, the strong-willed, redheaded witch
in the series of the same name. You may be lucky if you get a snapshot
of the two, but don't count on any menage a trois!
Dawn
Company: Linsner.com Comics, soon to be Image Comics this March. Currently:
Limited series
Why She Heats You Up: Do you really want to argue with a goddess?
Dawn is the goddess of birth and rebirth. She's charmed both Heaven
and Hell and neither is really sure what to do with her. Her fire
tresses, tear-stained eye and hourglass body have destroyed mortals
and gods alike. Why She Leaves You Cold: She doesn't come out nearly
often enough and her lover is Death. Do you really want to arm wrestle
with Death? Granted, you can take him out for a few beers and have
a go at it, but do you want to deal with his hangover the next morning
or his wrath all for one night with the goddess?
Aprodite IX
Company: Top Cow/Image Comics
Currently: Ongoing series
Why She Heats You Up: She's a deadly assassin who forgets everything
almost seconds after it's done. Her amnesia is a convenient excuse
when you want to high tail it out the next morning without any mushy
stuff. Designed for ultimate carnage, she was also created with a
perfect body, which makes it easy to charm her targets out of comfortable
surroundings and away from bodyguards.
Why She Leaves You Cold: The first issue of Aprodite IX sold amazing
numbers; retailers were reordering like mad to keep up with the demand.
With Finch's art and script, it was an actual story with looks and
bite. But you had to wait almost a year for the next freaking issue
to come out. Aprodite may be a green-haired goddess, but it turns
out she's a big tease with a big gun and she knows how to use both.
Plus, Finch is leaving the book and although the new artist is good,
this android assassin isn¹t going to be the same.
Wonder Woman
Company: DC Comics
Currently: Ongoing series
Why She Heats You Up: The raven-tressed Amazon doesn't really need
to charm anyone. If she wanted a date, she could strong-arm anyone
she chose. Super hero strength, the ability to fly, hails from an
island of women, and has a nifty golden lasso that could come in handy
in the bedroom. Diana Prince is a classic Greek beauty, the kind that
would have beat Donna of Troy, except Diana is probably a bit too
nice to get into a beauty contest. But she's no pushover, and easily
stands up to any challenge ... and usually wins.
Why She Leaves You Cold: The aforementioned golden lasso is a nice
little bondage tool, but it also happens to be the lasso of truth.
You could spend your nights tied up confessing all your deep hidden
secrets, and that's enough to scare off any one.
Natalia Kassle
Company: DC Comics
Currently: Limited Series
Why She Heats You Up: A deadly undercover spy with a penchant for
sharp things, you better like her or you could wind up with your throat
sliced.
Why She Leaves You Cold: Turns out this hot blonde with the icy stare
and no-nonsense attitude is not only a damn good spy, she's a double
agent who double crosses her friends, landing them in serious peril.
If that's what she does to her friends, imagine what she does to her
dates.
Roxy Spaulding
(a.k.a. FreeFall)
Company: DC/WildStorm Comics
Currently: Ongoing Series
Why She Heats You Up: She's sarcastic, smokes (at least in the early
incarnations of the book), has anti-gravitational powers, and fancies
combat boots and purple and/or pink-streaked hair. Always portrayed
as the awkward teenager without the looks amidst the knockout forms
of her teammates, Fairchild & Rainmaker. But it's her shyness
and playfulness that makes her so attractive.
Why She Leaves You Cold: Unfortunately for her and all interested
in her, FreeFall is totally wrapped up in another teammate, Grunge,
who stupidly ignores all her sincere advances. Instead, he fumbles
for excuses to gawk at Fairchild, Rainmaker and any other woman that
appears to have a body built by Bally's. Although all around her can
see FreeFall continually setting herself up for heartbreak, she steadfastly
refuses to see the obvious and follows Grunge, hopelessly in love.
