On one hand I've really enjoyed Tini Howard's Excalibur, but I'd agree that it's not as pointed or insightful as it could be when it comes to its depiction of Britain. Like it was clearly written by someone who is not British.
But also like
That is VERY OFTEN the case with comics and depictions of anywhere non western. Just because British writers have more presence on the scene doesn't mean Britain gets to be the exception.
She's still been telling a story I've enjoyed and while the choice to make Excalibur involve ongoing British politics exposes the flaws of an outsider writing a country, I don't think that makes it bad and I don't think that it means people should always write what they know. Nuance etc.
