Forums - General - Which do you prefer to read- Manga or Comics?

Manga essentially is japanese comics, but theres a marked difference in style of writing,artwork, and the stories when it comes to its american counterpart, the good old comic-books

Personally, i prefer manga over the comic books because some of the mangas(which are the ones i read anyways)have pretty great,amazing storylines which are hands down better than the regular comics(eg. Berserk,Monster,Lone wolf and cub).Additionally, id recommend anyone who likes comic books in general to look into an issue of Berserk,and marvel at the art-work of Kentaro Miura,which is better than almost anything youll see. I know 80% of the mangas thrive on shit-loads of fan-service and a crap story line, but the good stuff is really good.

lets have your say on that.

Manga!



Comics by far. I do enjoy reading Gantz a bit, but that's only because it went further than the show ever did.

k, i was hoping people would elaborate a little, as in why they prefer one over the other

1. Comic panels move in the direction of the language I read.
2. Comics in my opinion, have a larger range of art styles, subject matter and are more relateable.
3. Comics are in color, for the most part.
4. Comic publications generally create a universe around it's characters, which lend themselves for crossovers and epic worldwide conflicts.

Happy?
