They're both for nerds, but I'll say comics since it's more American..
[QUOTE=Moreto;23533077]Well facepunch's known blatant hate for anime and manga is probably taking a play in this thread too.[/QUOTE] Yeah. Probably. I want to be clear, even though I said "Batman, just Batman" I am not implying that Manga and Anime are shit. I happen to find most Batman comics great... except when Frank Miller is writing. I do however enjoy anime from time to time and I see that both mediums are very fun to read. I actually don't see too much of a difference between the two aside from where the industries send their focus. Much of Manga is more light-hearted than just about all of comics for a variety of reasons but the biggest one is that they focus on two demographics more than comics do: Children and Girls. Stateside there is no market for girl comics, hence why so much of it is aimed towards guys who stereotypically like a dark macho and brooding feel to it. This is not to say that manga can not be dark and it certainly can be brooding, it's just a larger percent of the market is dedicated towards girls and younger (younger teen) audience compared to western comics because it's more socially acceptable in japan. That being said I honestly don't know what that percentage is, but I know for a fact it's larger than the Western comics. Where am I going with this? Well you're all probably older teens reading manga or comics right? Well what do you gravitate towards? The darker stuff right? The stuff that's more adult? The reason you're reading that is because it's made for your age group. Now, you see the other side as light and fluffy because of the ugly stereotypes that are associated with the other medium. For Anime the stereotypes are all fanservice, cute and fluffy, and badly translated jokes, and for western comics it's either the lighter silver age stuff (if you have NEVER read a comic ever) or the darker and poorly drawn dark age stuff. These are only portions of the market of either type of comics, and you will find if you read both there are corresponding demographics in both markets and are therefor catered to. This creates similar tones in both of the two comics which may be jumped into from either side. This means that YOU'LL FIND FUCKING EXAMPLES OF ALL THE SHIT THAT YOU WANT IN EITHER SIDE! DON'T BE THICK IDIOTS!
American/European Comics have more detailed human anatomy drawing

[QUOTE=BCell;23533462]American/European Comics have more detailed human anatomy drawing[/QUOTE] This is a sweeping generalization that has NO merit. For instance... here is something made by Robert Liefeld.

Ok, you're not getting the point, using images from the SAME FUCKING COMIC does not show a variety of manga having good grasp on human anatomy.
While I like some manga, there is definitely much more better american comics.
Cant decide, but I picked comics Manga is for fap night
I have to choose manga. And don't say that they aren't funny. If you say that is because you haven't read Bobobobo.

Manga is fappable and Comics arn't
[QUOTE=PonceDeLeon;23539254]Manga is fappable and Comics arn't[/QUOTE] Big disagree there. Women in tight latex clothes aren't fappable?
It's all personal opinion right here.
[QUOTE=PonceDeLeon;23539501]It's all personal opinion right here.[/QUOTE] Pffahahaha, no. Silly boy.
ITT: people calling manga childish and the art undetailed people calling comics superhero bullshit all in all both parties are being assholes.
[QUOTE=Drasnus;23485671]Manga, unless you can find me an American Junji Ito. -Bricksshit worthy image here- Also Berserk, Gantz, Parasyte, etc. Nothing in American comics have managed to impress me as much as those titles in art or story, though to be fair I haven't read any of the big famous ones. But then again neither have any of you who don't like manga.[/QUOTE] Parasyte is fucking awesome. I finished reading it around two weeks ago. Beside that for manga...I read Rappi Rangai.. I like manga more than comics...comics are cool too through. Watchmen...The Walking Dead...Rappi Rangai...Parasyte...
[QUOTE=dgg;23523493]Uh, yeah? I like Don Rosa more. [/QUOTE] Both are magnificent.
What about online comics? Like Romantically Apocalyptic or TF2's occasional comics?
