Comic Books vs. Mangas

True story, my friend and I had a discussion the other day about differences between American Comic Books and Japanese Mangas. Let me point out that I enjoy both mediums with equal respect. I am going to break down the aspects of comic books and mangas.

My friend read a comic book and noticed that the hero defeated all the villains in one chapter. Thus in a manga, the hero takes down multiple villains in one chapter. The second thing I wanted to point out is that the Japanese Manga creators get to own the rights to their stories, while in America the only company to do so is IMAGE COMICS. MARVEL has a subside called ICON that's similar to IMAGE but it is invite only.

I respect the Japanese to the fullest because they hold on to their works as if they were their own children. Now that's wassup.

Song of the moment
