It starts off easy enough, you and your friend want to create a comic that celebrates American exceptionalism and Euro-American myths.
Your plot involves a version of the United States that has sealed itself off and a mixed team chosen from the consolidated other nations "left outside".
You're writing about an America that has literally walled off it's land borders.
But okay, maybe you had this idea before Trump.
The comic is quite violent though, violence is the essence of America. A man has his foot bitten off by a mutated bison, the scene is so unpleasant that I then didn't read the rest of the issues that piled up for the rest of the first two UK lockdowns. Finally during the third lockdown I binged my accumulated list.
Having entered forbidden America the characters in the story must "walk the spiral" to the heart of America. As I read the editorials at the end of each comic I also saw the creators descending their own spiral into the horror of the real world and how it reflected on their creation.
Did they have a global disease that threatened humanity? They did. When George Floyd was murdered they looked desperately at how their comic reflected, almost glorified, white supremacist violence and made it central to their vision of the United States. The whole thing became a horror show. They buried America in trying to praise it. They got their rights sale. Maybe this will make a better TV series.
Undiscovered Country is professionally written and drawn it's all high-quality production. It's only really the entire concept for the series that is unsatisfying and tone deaf to the world that has unfolded around it.
