opticbread vonisv I was thinking about why I prefer to read manga over American comics (as in, monthly serialized comics) and, putting aside opinions about the "quality" of either medium, I think the reason why is because have absolutely no idea how American comics work. Say you're a complete noob to manga. You don't know s--- about it. But that One Piece thing you saw on TV looks really cool and you want to read it. Where do you start? Volume 1 and go from there But imagine the same situation but with comics. You just saw the new Spiderman movie and now you got a craving for more like it. Where do you begin? Well, no one knows because there's been 901823434 34 different iterations of the character for decades With manga, there's usually one guy (and maybe a team of artists under them to help) working on it. Even if it goes on for years or may switch leads, there's usually some "consistency" to keep everything in check. With American comics on the other hand, it's the complete opposite: you have multiple different writers and artists, each contributing their own take on the character: alternate timelines, alternate motifs, etc etc. It's all a big clusterfuck to me and I have no idea how anyone can keep track of it i wanna read spiderman, where do i start? 2000 7 2015 1999 2008 2010 2013 "well, you'll have to choose one of the major points in the series to start at and then switch between different iterations depending on what kind of tone you'Te looking for i wanna read jojo, where do i start?

This is why the comics industry is doing so poorly. It's a struggle for its two biggest players to hook new people into their stories.

Now that's a good start-to-finish graphic novel series
and it's overflowing with reaction image potential
