Well, the anime people for some reason hate comic characters and say things about it, so this thread is in the comic forum, so you could pick one, and if you like comics better, say why you like it more than anime.

Anime is funnier and can appeal to others, as manga does.

The action can get a bit more intense too...

Depends on which anime, you can't compare something as good as sandman to something as trashy as naruto, but overall I perfer anime comics can be too ridicules.

'Wolverine: Snikt' was done in anime.

Yeah I saw it, It seems that comic books are imitating anime to boost sales, the irony is that anime imitated classic golden age western animation from popeye, mickey mouse, tom and jerry( This is my favorite style Btw) and etc.

double post sorry.

You should try it manga can usually be better then it's anime counter parts.

Really, it depends on the comic and the manga, but manga has some distinct advantages over comics.

First, it's very easy to get into a title. No forty years of continuity to deal with (I would have no idea where to begin with X-Men, should I decide I wanted to try it); just pick up the first volume of the series and read. Then pick up the second volume; they're numbered for your convenience.

Second, there's variety. I love mystery, and collect two seperate mystery manga, Case Closed and Kindaichi Case Files. If I decided that I wanted to read American mystery comics (real mysteries, not someone in tights running around beating up other people in tights while occasionally solving a puzzle) it would just be too bad for me; the only series I know of was Ruse the Detective (which, too be fair, kicked ass), and the company that published that's gone under. Fantasy? Science fiction? Medical drama (Black Jack just kicks ass)? There's a hell of a lot more variety in manga than in comics, and that's all there is to it.

Third, there's just one author, who knows what s/he's doing from the start. You don't have to put up with the bullshit that you have to with American comics because of differenty creative teams. You don't have to worry about your favorite character's personality changing more frequently than a schizophrenic's in shock therapy as different writers try to bring their "visions" to life. You don't have to worry that the hack who has control of the book at the moment will decide he didn't like what the last writers did, and reveal that the character you've been following for the past five years was really a robot clone or something. And on a related note, the characters you get attached to only appear in the one manga; no worry that your favorite character will get knocked off after a two-pannel fight in some shitty company cross-over.

Again, it depends on the series. I'd say that the average comic is as well-written as the average manga, and probably better-drawn. But I give manga the edge, for the above reasons.

And I will never read an American comic drawn "manga-style." Never.

Mangas are the shit and the story's tend to be better then comic one's.In mangas there's no pis like in comics and there's no change in writers and art.
Anime's tend to get on my nerves with all the damn filler episode's that have no meaning whats so ever.
Overall I like comics more then mangas because There's more options.I only read two mangas where as I read 3 times more comics.

I also like the fact that manga is released weekly instead of monthly and as for stories well depends on the said comic and manga, I generally prefer manga's animation style but comics catch my eye when they are drawn like this:http://www.geocities.com/spydr7/index.html

Depends on whose writing.

The Fake Macoy
I personally like both, but much like how there's some really bad anime there's some really bad comics.

Thunderstrike
VGcats has tackled Anime before:

Hi I'm the new girl.



Comics and manga are basicly the same media. Just as anime and cartoons are the same media.

Just as with books movies and music must be judged individually on there own merits.


I love many manga and comic series and I hate others. It all depends on the series.
