4. I'm not sure that "American comics" have a style, per se. Sure, there are overall unifying artistic themes found in genres like superhero comics, just like you'll find the same themes in a good deal of shoujo romance manga, but there are many, many different genres of each. One Piece and Dragonball, for example, are much closer to what I would think of as a traditionally American style of cartooning/comics, but they're still very much manga.

...again, point taken. >.> See, whenever I think of American comics I think of Marvel and newspaper funnies.

Unfortunately, so do most people. The US comics market doesn't have as many really mainstream genres as Japan does. :/

But anyway, the US borrows a lot from Japan as far as art is concerned, and vice versa. It's nice! It makes for wonderful art on both sides. I'm all for drawing inspiration from wherever one finds it, but I only wish there wasn't such a stigma on the word comics.
