It's been a while, but I seem to recall that with Alias, Bendis made the violation the point of the story. It really couldn't have been done any other way without radically altering the plot.
Here, it's "Monocle beats up cops with laser eyepiece," "Psycho-Pirate steals shit with his buddy the human fart," "RAPE!", "giant albino gorilla takes over the UN."
I don't really see the point of it. Were they afraid someone would read this and go "Hey, this is bullshit, someone should be getting raped!"?
