Well, the Tigra thing I never read. He said it was meant to be shocking, not titillating. Others saw it differently. So for now I have no opinion on it other than his reaction to the controversy was rather dismissive and I didn't appreciate it.
In terms of women, I do like that he revived a lot of women who people were doing near-nothing with, like the Spider-Women. And while Busiek was the one who originally brought Carol Danvers back from space purgatory, he's made her into a major player in the Marvel Universe and his protegee wrote her. I also really think Jessica Jones was a great addition. I know for some that may not excuse Tigra or Scarlet Witch, but I don't know. Ms. Marvel is one of my favorites ever (she was even my old screenname) so that means a lot to me. (And I have no problem with her being on the wrong side in Civil War, but that's another story.)
It honestly feels like another stupid, tired attempt at Heroes for Hire, which I WAS going to collect, since it had Misty Knight and Colleen but the stupid cheesecake in nearly every other frame turned me off of it bigtime.
I'm getting that vibe, too. And you know what was weird about that book, now that I think of it: no conflict. None of the characters had any personality clashes that I remember other than "Oooh, Black Tarantula [or whatever] is kind of brutal. Oh well, let's move this plot along." I'm worried this is going to do the same thing. I mean, there are good ways to do this concept ... I'm just not sure they're going to utilize them.
