Well, I can't give specific titles.
However, I'll only say this. For the most part the audiences of MANGA readers is completely different than Comics. From what I've seen of the two, Comics sort of go more in-depth than Manga stories do. It's all about the story's targeted audiences.
From what I've heard/read, Comics are meant to be purchased, read, re-read, and stored to keep a reference for later down the line plot and character twists.
Mangas on the other hand, are suppose to be purchased, read, TRADED WITH FRIENDS and therefore are more likely to have a 'throwaway' character or storyline that isn't truly as devoted to the main characters as comics.
Now, that's not saying that one is superior to another. Just that both are intended for different audiences that have different objectives at the time of purchase.
yes but batman can combat 500 men at once if you have read the comics also its brought up batman begins also if he know how to defeat naruto then he would be able to take on a 100 narutos
Ok, to be honest I am not a big fan of Manga, but since I lived quite a while in Japan and speak Japanese better than English (I am German though) I feel like I have to comment on some of the stuff you said, from like.. umm.. the Japanese side of things:
MDS "Mangas on the other hand, are suppose to be purchased, read, TRADED WITH FRIENDS and therefore are more likely to have a 'throwaway' character or storyline that isn't truly as devoted to the main characters as comics."
>> while it is true, that Manga are produced cheaper, therefore cost less, and therefore have a kind of throwaway character, you have to consider that EVERYONE in Japan reads Manga. it's not really a geek thing anymore. Manga are everywhere, in newspapers, at the doctor's office, on the train; they are written for pretty much every target group, no matter what age, and therefore are as varied as human beings can possibly be.
That being said, obviously there ARE manga geeks in Japan and they buy and gather pretty tradepaperback version's of Manga as well as the next American or European comic reader and don't throw them away or trade them like stated above
I find ppl relate more to manga characters as normal people as opposed to super heroes. Maybe because the story's more in depth maybe its the character flaws goofiness Idk thats just what most manga fans think.
This is for Spillers who like going out regularly like myself. From now on I will regularly organize nights out with other Spillers and we'll do a pub crawl, go bar hopping or go out clubbing. These are not Spill Parties. These are Spill Outs
