The super hero hotties of DC Comics

What do Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Huntress, and Black Canary have in common? They are sexy, sultry DC comic super heroes—perfect entertainment for AfterEllen.com readers.

I first got into super heroes as a kid when I was hooked on the Super Friends (1973-74). I thought Wonder Woman was so cool! Yes, between that and playing basketball endlessly, I should have had a big “L” on my forehead.

Needless to say, this set the course for my love of female super heroes today.

Today, I subscribe to Justice League Unlimited, JLA Classified, Wonder Woman, Amazon Attacks, Countdown, Hawkgirl, Birds of Prey, and Manhunter to get my fix of super hotties. I read Justice League Unlimited and JLA Classified for the Super Friends, and the JLA Classified comic is a great, gritty read with adult story lines.

I’m a Wonder Woman fan so the Wonder Woman Volume 3 and Amazon Attacks comics are my favorites on this list. Diana Prince (Wonder Woman’s secret identify) has a sister named Donna, and Wonder Woman’s mother, Queen Hippolyta, has been resurrected from the dead, turned evil, and is hell-bent on ruling the United States (which still might be an improvement over George Bush, frankly). The dramatic conflict between Wonder Woman and her mother is awesome. Not to mention that even Queen Hippolyta is a hottie. Her power and authority over even Wonder Woman is awesome. Read more about this series on Wikipedia here and here.

Countdown is a weekly comic that’s published weekly for one year, crossing over all the DC super heroes, which is frankly confusing for me at times. I read it for Donna Prince and the “multiverse” storyline. Can you imagine a world where there are numerous alternate universes? It’s science fiction with super heroes.

Lori's Hot Rocker Chicks

I spend most of my time hiding my iPod from Sarah since she tends to "borrow" it for my '70s, '80s and 90s music. But she recently found where I'd hidden it and teased me about one of my playlists, "Hot Rocker Chicks." What can I say, the women rockers in this playlist are hot!

Since I can't find a way to talk about hot rocker women on our video blog "She Made Me Watch This" (we only discuss TV shows and movies), I thought I'd share my Hot Rocker Chicks playlist here. As a pre-emptive disclaimer, I don't consider these guilty pleasure songs, but if that keeps me from looking too shallow, then they are!

"Kiss Me Deadly" by Lita Ford

Sarah and I were in Palm Springs with scribegrrrl when scribegrrrl posted "These '80s sisters are twisted" and added "Kiss Me Deadly." Sarah had to listen to scribegrrrl and me go on and on about how hot Lita Ford was in the video.

I'm not a fan of Sarah's guilty pleasure song, "Close My Eyes Forever" by Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne — the only Lita Ford song I play and watch is "Kiss Me Deadly." Have you seen Lita slink around at the beginning of the video? She's in black. Has long, blond hair. And she's hot! I'm a sucker for blondes with long hair dressed in black (that's how Sarah got me).

Here's the video:
