Hm. I wish visual media had not-stupid female characters.

Yes, I know they exist, but they're rare. By stupid I mean women in medieval settings who run around in chain bikinis.
Granted, in the context of superheroes everyone is stupid, because they never wear armor. But still, it would be nice to have a female now and then who did not conform to hypersexualized stereotypes.
Don't really read comics, though, so I guess my opinion doesn't much matter on the subject.

EDIT: Wonderful nerdy exceptions: Zoe from Firefly, Kerrigan (at least while human; debatable while infested) from Starcraft, Hilde from Soul Calibur.

Well, I'm not familiar with a British style of comics, if any such thing exists.

Alan Moore made his breakthrough in America, and Watchmen at least is very American...
