Miranda Zero bores me stupid as a character. She has absolutely no appeal to me whatsoever. Its hard to think of a more two dimensional vehicle in comics, and that's really saying something. She could fit into an Image book as a female detective, secret agent, restaurant owner, casino operator or hotel concierge, and I wouldn't even blink.
Aleph is slightly more interesting, in her role as co-ordinator and hostage negotiator. It was an interesting choice of names for someone involved in a high profile global conspiracy: "Aleph" is the new name of the Japanese cult responsible for the gassing of Tokyo's subways back in the 90s. I doubt it was intentional.
Ellis is a bit of an anti-corporate type, and in writing characters wielding authority (pardon the pun) he often misses the mark I suspect becauise of his lack of exposure to the insides of corporations.
