One of my bigger issues with the whole Slayer spell idea was that we were told they had "changed the world," and yet when the comic started, we find that everything's right back to the same old status quo: male Watchers, female Slayers, the whole neverending battle of good-vs.-evil still being kept secret for no explicable reason... really not so much with the world-changing. So it's hard for me to see any of this as subversive, especially if you're going to assert that the only effect an army of yin female warriors has on the world is to create some kind of yang counterforce of dedicated villains and a vampire who wants to hit that Slayer booty. Uh-huh.
So would the mystic manhole cover be a diaphragm? And the blood's like... sperm? Clearly I'm thinking about this too hard.
