Super-Vixens: Death

Well, here she is, The Lord of All-Night’s Dreaming’s big sister Teleute, better known to the world at large as DEATH, the Vertigo re-imagining of the Grim Reaper…and just in time for Halloween, too!
The girl so cute and spunky, any guy would just drop everything to hook up with her, and yet, watch out for that first step…it’s a doozy! Yes, granted, Death isn’t the kind of girl that you should be hanging around with if you value breathing, but anyone who’s read any of her Sandman stories knows: the gal just exudes beauty and charm…no wonder Thanos fell head over heels with her…Oh,wait a minute…that’s in the MARVEL UNIVERSE, isn’t it?! Death doesn’t belong there! (And yet, in an old issue of the Incredible Hulk, Peter David DID manage to sneak Death in at the end of the Wedding of Rick and Marlo! Yes, Marlo had a “brush” with Death. Har har har)
