I've only read 4 comics in my life, Marvel comics are indeed hella confusing due to too many writers and too many different universes shyt gets confusing and irritating.

Both industries have fundamental issues.

Comic books:
- can never get a complete story because the current writer doesnt own the character or the universe, all of their changes might be undone.

-massive delays in between arcs

-so much unrelated background information is required for certain stories


Manga:
- inhuman workload/pace, often negatively impacts the end of a story

- usually less lucrative than comics so writers are forced to change their stories to follow what publishers/editors want, sometimes elongating them past a reasonable end



I personally like manga more just because i know that what im wont be completely retconned by another writer 10 years after the fact. I would rather have a complete story

And the problem with so many writers is all it takes is one dude to fukk up everything other great writers have done.

One more day did so much damage to the spiderman continuity. Its barely managed to sustain but man....what a fukk up that was.

I think Marvel should drop down the number of writers and should be picky who's writing what based on previous work.

Manga allows for more concise stories and continuity. Don't get me wrong there are a bunch of :laff: ridiculous moments in manga, but it doesn't hold a candle to comics.

Comics are often contrived, and damn near insulting to readers, at worst. The existence of multiple universes and story lines, ridiculous power scaling inconsistencies, its just stupid, and i like comics. Comics are often void of consequence, major characters die, and come back next week like nothing happened, established characters that the audience is invested in get randomly depowered for shock value moments and some arbitrary side character suddenly gets their abilities, only for the major character to find their powers again and come back like nothing happened. Continuities often hit the reset button. Its aight when you are young, but after you hit a certain age you start wanting your intellect as a reader to be respected.

I think the mangakas should have similar schedules like comic book writers, maybe a 1 or 2-month break. The two Mangaka's that I've seen so far that have a non heavy schedule is Daisuke(World Trigger writer) he does two chapters once monthly due to health issues relating to the neck and the HXH writer literally having a hiatus at any moment and neither is HXH constrained by editors/publishers.

Jesus christ that too was god awful. Some real dumbasses they let get the pen

:smh::smh:
one thing to appreciate (when it goes right) about the manga industry is that their editors have real power to veto the author on something stupid.

and those guys will admit it later down the line. attack on titan/dbz/naruto all benefited from an editor going :camby: to a bad idea

probably too lax in the comic industry because they feel they can retcon stuff.

Marvel doesn't have a bunch of confusing universes; its the 616 and it used to have the ultimates in 1610 but thats gone now. Everything else is peripheral.
You must be thinking of DC:lolbron:

I dont want to read poorly rendered manga in black and white:scust:
Read from right to left brehs

Yep the Power scaling is insane just look at Hulk, or Superman. Yeah there's no sense of danger due to the asumption that the major character will gary stu his way to victory, resurrect, or another version of the character will be alive in another universe. I like what the writer did to Gon in HXH, Gon got a brief power up to kill pitou but as a consequence, he almost died and he's lost the ability to use Nen.
