American comics. Especially the ones about superheroes. I think its a beautiful part of American culture, to want to save the world from evil and be strong. I hate when people bring them down. The comics themselves are well drawn, colored, and mature. I mean, if you can have dudes in tights and capes flying around and still take them seriously, then you’re doing something right. The soul of the characters and the positive message is inspiring.

That being said, I am also a huge fan of manga. I’ve read lots. I don’t like the perversion you find in most of it though. But there’s some beautiful ideas and stories in manga.

People who claim that manga is more varied than American comics aren’t looking in the right places. If you want romance, drama, comedy, don’t go to Superman/Spiderman/Punisher, go to Love and Rockets, go to Persepolis, Maus, etc. And people who claim that American comics are formulaic … I do NOT understand. Nearly all the top manga out are action manga, and I can definitely say, ALL. Of these manga. Are about a guy who needs to get stronger. The variation is in the ways he does get stronger. If the manga in question is not an action manga, it is then about a guy who is completely boring and useless and has things happen to him to make him unboring, said things include: harem of women falling for him, magical somebody steps into his life and makes everything better.

Would you like to live in a Colored World or Black n White World? Ans. is Simple, becos black n white is dull, boring and depressing. Color wins.

the art is far superior. the fans arent a bunch of nutwhacks. the story isnt pointless and repetitive, nor girly(no offense, ladies). not to mention the characters are much more well thought of. to many skinny little badboys in manga, but theres never any huge, muscular protagonist. not to mention the fact that pornography has far too large a part in manga culture, therefore i find american comics far better….

The art, mainly. It’s full of delicious detail. They are also more serious than most manga. Their plots are often less repetitive or have more thought put into them, too.

Their eyes are normal size, and their mouths are usually closed.

Western comics can also discuss serious topics and still interest adult audiences. I don’t see anyone making a legitimate feature film inspired by manga.
