I've tried reading things like Buffy, Angel, X Men, etc, but they don't grab me. I need more substance to my reading material - hence, manga.

However the vast majority of stuff I read is Japanese. but that's probably because I want big chunky graphic novels and not a scrawny 32 page comic book.
Black Hole is great! A great recommendation!

Not everybody has a good attention span- hence,American Comics, j/k lol
well seriously ppl don't have very long attention spans so for those ppl that 32 page comic is all they need. I like both American & others.

But I have a good attention span I finished read Tenjho Tenge volume 1- 106 (thats all that was available to me here in the States.) in like a day & a half straight!! And I know its a little off topic but all Harry Potter books too.

@MMM Yeah like I said my mom gave me some of her old comics to read.

I find American comics have a harder time grabbing my interest. Partly it's because america's point of view on love seems, to me, to be superficial and alltogether more about sex than what I consider love. So call my a wierdo, but I'd take cinderella over Louis Lane and Superman any day ^_^

I read the Archie comics... that's the only American comic that ever interested me... I think manga is alot better, because of the story lines, and the pictures. American comics are just a little too boring and ugly ^^;

haven't heard something lile the Archies for awhile lol. Used to read those all the time.

Haven't read any Amer. comics for awhile too, except for the Marvel Zombies one. I still have some old ones in their plastic sleeves.

Avengers was my favorite, but there were so many different team ups.
If I had to put an Avengers team together it would be:
1. Captain America
2. Thor
3. Hulk
4. Iron Man
5. Scarlet Witch
6. Vision
7. Spiderman

I'm curious, there are a lot of people who want to go to Japan because they read manga or watched Anime. Well my question is how many people outside of the U.S. wanted to come to the U.S. after reading American manga or watching American Anime like: Avengers, X-men, Justice League, Batman, The Avatar, etc.?
