I was just reading the comments to the Kelly Thompson piece. Mark Waid high-five, go you :D

You know, quite aside from the political asshattery of it, the other reason this plot is bad is that it's just so incredibly cliched, trite and done. A matriarchal society which is developed, compassionate and functional? Completely unique to comics. A killer tribe of eeeevil naked black-widow-spider sirens? The stuff of hundreds of bad Roger Corman-esque schlock horror comics/b-movies/pulps/fevered manchild fantasies. Creative and imaginative super-fail.
