So there's this article in the latest Wired about how manga is dominating the U.S. market.

I cried a little bit.
It was neat to see AK of Troy in there though, since I used to "hang out" at Toriyama's World.
Back in my darker days that I never want to talk about ever.
Hopefully these bookstore aisle blocking, freeloading, shitty manga reading kids will grow into a better appreciation of comics like I did.
Or at least put down that fucking Naruto book and read something like Monster.

that's not trolling at alohwait yes it is it is exactly what almost got me banned when i joined many years ago
I know it's a big part of geek cred to be able to go "X Anime was so sweet!!1", but I just can't do it.
Just like anything, some of it is better than others. The problem is when you come across someone whos's all "anime is superior".
Also, I defy anyone to say that there are no good manga. There are plenty that are just as good as Watchmen.
I used to cut coke with my slammer and liked it.
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Much like US comics, manga is dominated by sweaty grown men. Kids just sit in the aisle reading for free.
Honestly though, why is this thread even still going? It's obviously just Sars_boy trolling. He's made up almost half hte posts in the thread and they consist of "shit sux, US rulz"
have you read my posts at all?
The problem is that is not what most people are reading.
I'm too busy to make one though
Hughtron should do it
you guys are fags
Much like anime, the market's become over-saturated.
manga has good and bad manga
and so does north american comics
they are essentially the same
hey kids can read what they want
they want to read sonic or simpsons comics, let them
You're dumb, oh ho what now? What can you possibly say to my epic counter-point?

I read the .hack Manga so you can always have that over me.

There really is nothing else to say when someone dismisses an entire medium, or at least everything in that medium from a certain country.

And isn't that the best sort of story?

Classic series.
I don't expect it to be good, but I'm a whore for Mega Man, so I want to read it.
