Complexity implies that there's an idea behind it. No, it's an incoherent mess brought about by writers not caring about other writers's stories.
But there's more to the Japanese publishing format than just being coherent. They tend to rely more on visuals and not be as verbose, which makes catching up on a year's worth of reading less of a daunting task.

Fair enough, but it's a fun mess to dive into.
When I first got into comics and tried getting other Manga fans into it one common problem/complaint I ran into was how wordy they were. I could normally breeze through a chapter. But, reading a comic would take much longer and be like reading a book. Took me a while to get into.

It's quantifiable. Just need the knowledge in order to quantify it.
But a quantity doesn't have to be known in order to prove that it is greater than another quantity (known or unknown).
For example, clearly Saitama was faster than Usain Bolt's fastest movement speed when he created those many afterimages.
Sentry has done nothing to compare, therefore he loses in speed by default.

It really depends. Manga has a more decompressed storytelling where they try to emulate film. They use a lot of panels but it works because their release schedule is much faster than comics. 25 pages per week. A comic has about 25 pages a month because it's colored. So, to speed things up and not waste panels they use a lot of text to move the story along faster.

Again - how fast is this? Give me a mph figure. You just using pretty art isn't proof. You might as well say Robin is faster than Flash's IMP.Tell me. Whose fists are moving faster here, Robin:
Or Flash:
This goes to h1 as well. Relying on art is.....not infallible. Am I saying Saitama is human level speed? Of course not. But to say he is faster than everyone here, based on art, is.....silly.
We clearly know how fast Flash is? We do not know how fast Sentry is other than him catching a bullet. Therefore Robin (in that particular instance) is punching faster than Sentry when you see Sentry randomly punches someone.
Also comics are clear when they are showing action in the character's perspective or ours (humans). So yes we can determine who punched faster based off art.

Post the scan or issue number of Sentry grabbing Thor at many times the speed of light.
Nvm I already know what you are talking about.
Top speed (speed gain during time and space) doesn't equal instant battle distance speed. It's all about acceleration. For example, what speed can Sentry obtain within 0.5km?
What is his reflexes? A character can not operate at a speed faster than they can respond. Space is huge, even I can react in space traveling at many times the speed of light

Wolverine's senses pick up a sonic boom from hundreds of miles away. Before the sound registers with him, Sentry grabs Thor by the neck, "hurled forward at many times the speed of light", with velocity that "bends space and time"
So we know that before Wolverine could register, Sentry went from sonic speeds to many times lightspeed, and that his reflexes were at least good enough to target Thor and grab him by the throat at those speeds. So no, catching a bullet is not DS Sentry's best speed feat.
I suppose we have to ignore that Wolverine couldn't have heard the sonic boom before Sentry attacked because sound couldn't have been moving faster than Sentry.... comics, I guess.
The feat is plenty clear, though.
Circling every part of a moon bigger than earth's moon in one panel. Anyways, let me pull a Darksaint. Sentry does blitz an unaware Thor. Same comic...
Wasp dodges him...
Wasp outreacts him...

He didn't dodge the worm because he's playing his part of being surprised at our heroine's trump card. Plus it's no threat to him. It's no different than when Saitama tanks an attack he could easily dodge.
