Riddle me this, Batman
Why is manga better than comic books?
>>82762980
it depends sometimes mangas can be better and easier to get into because they don't have to share an universe with other mangas like marvel and dc do with all their comics
of couse there are also good comics that don't share multiverse but they rarely get superpopular because they don't get movies and tv shows
i guess the advantage manga has is that almost all the anime on tv is based on popular manga
and here most of the cartoons we have are original ideas that go directly to tv maybe things would change if a company decided to take a bunch of little comics and started giviving them an animated series to each one

You don't exist in manga.
If you're going by Shonen, then it's because it's released more often, which (in a perfect world) allows the creative teams to safely play with all kinds of storytelling techniques without needing to worry too much about a single "filler" or non-plot-heavy chapter.
In other cases, I think the lack of color (as a whole) helps. Mangakas are handicapped in that way, but it also forces them to make the best of what they have -- facial expressions are usually more interesting and less perfunctory in manga than in Western comic books, for example. In another odd way, action sequences usually play out better in manga than in comic books -- the lack of color allows for things like motion and intensity to really stand out.
And really, in the realm of action-packed American comics, badly drawn action is a big deal. Nowadays, action in American comics is either used sparingly in comics or done with no real emphasis/focus. You rarely see characters think things through or for there to be any genuine intensity. From a readers' perspective, you can almost feel the lack of interest of both the writer and the artist in crafting these things. And again, this is such a weird/stupid mentality to have when these characters are essentially action symbols -- I mean, in a lot of cases, they're the inspiration behind manga characters' designs and action sequences.

It usually isn't.
Diversity of genre and not coloring it allows them to get more content out faster

Because you haven't tried Eurocomics yet.
>>82762980
Is there a difference?
>>82762980
Manga usually allows for more creative freedom, since here in the US comics probably won't seel if they're not capeshit. Also, he lack of color usually means better art.

Fun fact:
Sometimes, Riddlers riddles are actually a setup for a joke he wants to tell.
No one ever catches on.
They try to bullshit they way out of it, guess the right answer, which kinda ruins the joke.
Those die first.

Oh, you'd like an ass-raping, wouldn't you, Nigma? You're too proud to beg so you hide behind this hard-to-get act like the twink bitch you really are. Well tough! Batman won't even rape the goddamned Joker, and we all know that's a guy who deserves to get his Garcia Tunnel demolished! You'll just have to up your game.
