    And that’s why Comics < Manga

    and I say that as someone who reads more Comics than she does Mangas (Not really fond of anime aside from specific examples)

      I love batman and tried to get into comics many times. But every time I’d ask where to start it wouid be paragraphs of text exposing were I “could start” multiple reboots, side world’s, multi verse who else knows what. So I just give up.

      do comics have as much filler as manga? because most manga and anime I’ve seen (which isn’t too much admittedly) has been full of irrelevant shit just to pad things out.

        Most manga and anime don’t have filler. The long-running ones do, because, well, they want to milk them for all they’re worth.

        Not really, since there’s such a limited page amount, the only comics with “filler” either are because the editor kept mandating arcs that sell too well be stretched out as much as possible (Marvel infamously did this with Spider-Man’s clone saga to the irritation of EVERYONE!), or because it’s something like Early Archie Sonic where the stories are intended to be episodically self-contained to begin with.
