That makes sense, but wouldn't you end up spending more money overall? /not sure how that works

A mishmash here and there, most of it fairly old - my brother used to have stacks of Wolverine, and I read some of that and X-men - I've read some stuff from the public library as well, mostly Batman and again more X-men. I could honestly never grasp what was going on half the time, though, because I'd be jumping in the middle of something and never knew where you're supposed to actually start. And then I keep hearing about a reset, where everything is erased and you go back to square one again where they're just finding their powers or whatever, and what's the point agh.

I get that it's money, but again, that's the same reason I don't really like long-running shounen series like Naruto (also, they're... really formulaic >_>). It's only long because they're making money and they can milk it... it seems like it's more about cash than creativity.

Yeah, they're servicing fans, but they're also making the industry really impenetrable to outsiders. In Japan, regardless of whether someone is a 'nerd' or not, EVERYONE reads manga, just like reading the newspaper or whatever on the bus, because it's cheap, light, and available. The western comics industry lacks that accessibility.

That's one of the reasons why I've loved the prevalence of the internet, to be honest. That's a big way that I've been able to get into Western Comics, through just doing some simple reading, its easy to either catch up, or even clear up some missing holes! I started reading comics in High School for a project on American comic history, and it was actually very easy to get into! Just jumping in and starting with a new arc is always the best way to do it, I've found!

It may be more expensive in some ways, yes, but I've found that around $3 here and there is alot easier to swallow than the 10-15 of either Trade Paperbacks or Manga, although I admit I really only buy the comics I really like, such as te Star Wars ones, I buy those every month! :D

See now, that's the funny thing, its in Japan. The sad thing is that the Comic industry used to be like that, but the advent of both the Radio, Comics Code Authority, and the Television effectively killed it for the mainstream audience. There are actually alot of comics that don't fall into that category, such as the Dark Tower series, which is very popular from what I hear, but I'm not a big Stephen King fan. >>
