I think the matriarchy idea might have been present more than you remember, or it is just what I remember more.Walaka of Earth 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15937932225623126280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235246572766798012.post-49068037886906309282015-07-25T21:31:45.281-07:002015-07-25T21:31:45.281-07:00I've become so inured to the decompressed mode...I've become so inured to the decompressed mode of comics storytelling and the absence of traditional story structure that I just took it for granted in the first issue of the Prez revival. It's not that I didn't notice, but that I expected nothing different. But I'm sorry if my praise for it led you to expect more and I'm to blame for your disappointment. I'll tell you the second issue is complete crap if that will help you enjoy it more?<br /><br />Genesis II did mention the matriarchal society in passing, but it was mainly about the city of mutant aristocrats with double circulatory systems and two belly buttons. The female-dominated society was the focus of the sequel Planet Earth, starring John Saxon and Diana Muldaur. (And oddly enough, written by Juanita Bartlett, best known for her glorious work as writer and producer of The Rockford Files.)<br /><br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.com
