    I'm judging by your comment line that you're not too impressed by the threat in this story.


I wasn't. I'm not a fan of rape (or the threat of rape) as a plot device, doubly more so in superhero stories. I also don't really buy the idea that Beth Zemo is evil enough to use it as a means of revenge against a disloyal minion, since JJJ's stories have her (and Sally too) exhibit a much more restrained sense of malevolence. Of course, if he approved these directions for the characters, I'm off in those assumptions.
