Once comics start going public domain, I hope the first thing people do is release them as chapters
He originally appeared as a minor villain in Captainman #743, so you’d have to read that first. And the previous issues, for context.
Make sure you watch the corrected DVD order because Fox thought more action would be better and put the 2nd episode first, the first episode 11th and totally fucked any hope for a second season…
Let me introduce you to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
And that’s why Comics < Manga
and I say that as someone who reads more Comics than she does Mangas (Not really fond of anime aside from specific examples)
do comics have as much filler as manga? because most manga and anime I’ve seen (which isn’t too much admittedly) has been full of irrelevant shit just to pad things out.
I love batman and tried to get into comics many times. But every time I’d ask where to start it wouid be paragraphs of text exposing were I “could start” multiple reboots, side world’s, multi verse who else knows what. So I just give up.
Oh, but the power of American superhero comics is that you can just start reading them wherever. Sure, there is deeper lore, but you’re not required to know all that. There’s this bat-dude, see? He punches crooks and does awesome shit in the night. There’s also a bunch of wacky villains. See? Just go read it, you’ll pick up the rest of the details as you go along!
And I also love a lot of European comics because most often they have a pretty good balance between complex writing and manageable size. And publishers here tend to be more lenient toward artists making one-shot kind of comics, without any expectations that it’ll become the next endless blockbuster cash-cow property.
Still, I do like how most of the manga series are like “OK, here’s the beginning, here’s 20 or whatever volumes, here’s the end.”
Why do people understand this about the comics but not the movies?
