only tom says it like that
I like reading Comics and watching anime.
never really cared about reading manga though.....
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.
