Aleph/Alpha, if I recall issue 11, is where the name came from, yes.
While I really dig the series, as just short bursts of interesting storytelling, I gotta agree with you on Miranda Zero. The thing about her, though, is that she is EVERY Warren Ellis character.
A tough, take no bullshit chain smoking, black clothes wearing snide character fighting against the world.
Spider Jerusalem, Pete Wisdom, Jenny Sparks, the chick from Mek, etc. He's played this character out. It's tired.
