What's wrong with Ann Nocenti? I absolutly adore her run on Daredevil, but I did not like much Kid eternity, I think she got lost in the metaphysic mombo jumbo
She wrote to deliver a message in every issue, not to entertain. I was tolerating it a bit until it reached the conflicting independence day parades in Daredevil. The book got dropped that issue, and her run promptly traded. Everything she wrote had her take on political issues, not just Daredevil as Mad-Dog thing in Spider-Man attests.

It's perfectly all right for there to be a message in the work, but I don't think the work in comics should be for a message. Best close example I can think of is Nicienza's Dardevil fill-in with the first appearance of the Bengal. There was a message, but the author's views didn't overpower the entertainment value of the comic.
