What's wrong with female characters in this show?

SERIOUS DISCUSSION

Lately I've seen a post that made me question Kirkman's writing of female characters in Invincible.

For male characters, you've got great dialogs, amazing character development, great emotional experience and all of that found in Conquest, Thragg, Nolan, Mark, King Rex, even freaking Midmortal gets something..

But then, we move into the female characters.

Anissa? Not diving into that one, nope.

DupliKate? A walking cu-

Rae? Nothing. We got nothing from her, she just died lol

Amber? No. Just... No.

Even the most prized Eve, she's dull and shit. She doesn't date with mark or anything, has no hobbies, personality, friends... heck all they do is fuck and complain about their problems, like, do something together ffs how is this healthy and normal???

Of course Debbie is the exception here but I'm expecting that to change as well in the coming season as she returns to Nolan again after he called her a pet and beat her son half to death, killing 2000+ people and almost causing her to off herself, cheated on her with a bug and lied to her for 20+ years

I guess the big question is, can Kirkman write female characters???
