I hear you on the Nazi front, I'm a bit of a Hellboy fan too so all the nazi stuff gets boring after awhile. You can't swing a dead/live cat boy in a comic shop without hitting yet another nazi story.
The concept of nazis in South America or nazis with crazy paranormal powers may be abit overused. But it's because there is precedence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_mysticism) on both accounts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODESSA).
And one would be hard pressed to come up with a greater villian for this century than the nazis. So regardless of whether or not anyone should beat that horse again it's there and quite within reach of human imagination to do so.
