The Dodsons are known for depicting characters that are strong and sexy without devolving into J. Scott Campbell/Michael Turner/Ed Benes-level ridiculousness. I don't see a disconnect at all.

I... really want to see that now. There's a problem with the "high-concept" of a LOT of books. Things you know don't make a lot of sense, or can only go so long without you having to completely suspend disbelief. Remember, we're talking about the "every book has Wolverine/Deadpool/Spiderman" company here. This is no worse than anything else. But at least it sounds interesting.

Reminds me of when stories have sexist characters in them and people think that means the writer is sexist. I could certainly imagine a scene with Quentin Quire pointing out that the team's all females and being a dick about it.
