Hey, Vartox!

[Len-L]

Yes, I know Vartox diappeared off Usenet some time ago - years, maybe?
Still if by chance he's still around....

There's been a Vartox sighting in Power Girl #7 this week!

Ho ho ho.

While I'm here, a producer says we're supposed to hear more
about the new DC Entertainment strategy early in the new year.

Ideally I think we'd get Green Lantern, the third Batman and then
Wonder Woman, maybe The Flash too before any Justice League
movie. Superman I have no idea what they'll do, with the lawsuits
and whatnot. But maybe they'll recast that role for the JL movie
only when they get around to it in 2013 or whenever.

Occasionally lurking, seldom posting, but always good to be
remembered, lol.

So, was it a cameo or a bigger appearance?

Hiya, V.

It was a major appearance. Vartox is after Power Girl. He wants her
to have his babies. Story continues next month.

Vartox still looks like a Village Person, too.

Hope life is treating you well, V.

I know I'm going Black Lantern on this thread but I picked up those two
issues of Power Girl based on it. Looking at Vartox's homeworld was an eye-
opener for sure. I remember Vartox from the 70s, and I have the comic when
he and Superman met and fought, but if there was a comic that showed his
homeworld I certainly don't have it.

After he revealed the way he wanted to use Power Girl as his mate in #8 I
was still confused about how that was to work. I'll have to reread that
issue.

All in all, it was some pretty funny writing.

It was. Power Girl has become a must-read for me.

Let me add that I think the art is fully up to the writing.
