DC Comics is resurrecting the Batwoman character (1959 - 1976) as a lesbian for their "52" series, a collaboration between different writers with serial weekly episodes. DC is trying to introduce superheroes who don't fit the usual white male superstereotype.

And if that's not hot enough for you, you can count down the eight days to Glamourcon, the yearly convention celebrating pin-up art, glamour, Playmates, and fantasy women, with Golden Apple Comics. They're very excited about having Linda O'Neil and Dita von Teese at their booth.
