>manga is dominating comics with fucking dogman in the top best sellersare we doomed?
Only if the industry recovers. The dinosaurs need to go extinct
>>150498617>manga is dominating comicsIt isn't tho. There's only 2 mangas in this list, everything else is comics (yes, Dog Man is comics too)
Two seperate mangas but double Dogman.
So what happened today? There’s been a bizarre influx in political shill webcomics, actual porn threads, and general bait since this morning
>>150498617Comics that appeal to retards sell best. Capefags may be morons, but the shit they read is convoluted and ugly. Comics should be made to appeal to retards if they want to sell. Get rid of all cape franchise characters and their universes save for the occasional limited series.
>>150498749>Get rid of all cape franchise characters and their universes save for the occasional limited series.No, and fuck you, retard.
Solo Leveling is not manga.
So is Dog Man and its Scholastic brother books just the result of a captive audience of school children that buy their stuff because it's put in front of them at the school book fair? At least manga earns its spot.
>>150498749You dorks just don't get it. Most people just wanna be entertained by something for a bit. Not lectured about the human condition or whatever. Popcorn media is what most people want.
>>150498617If Dog Man is so popular why did the movie come and go without fanfare?
>>150498617>the adventures of super diaper babyi wish for this world to burn to the ground
>>150499370Kids read it, dude.
>>150498842Solo Leveling is zoomer's Sword art online
>>150498749>Capeshit >Convoluted How?
>>150499380They shouldn't.
>>150498882Yes. Kids will naturally go for the least-educational books they can get their parents to buy, so Scholastic essentially rules the market with no opposition.
>>150498617>Gook comic>Dog Man>Jap comic>Diaper Dog>Bat Man>Dog Man>Jap comicSounds reasonable.
>>150498749That’s why Absolute Batman sells like in the OP.It is what retards want ie over-the-top violence and insane gimmicks (knife-ears, axe-emblem, making everyone big, etc).
>>150499300Because most of Dog Man's audience are children barely in the double digitsWhy would they post about it on /co/?>>150499370You never grew up on Dav Pilkey? Man you missed out>>150499403Tomino fucking hates adults like you lmao
>>150499993Anyone who makes a series like "Super babies" should be drug out into the street and shot because they're not putting anything good into the collective culture.
>>150498617>are we doomed?Who's "we," faggot? You got a turd in your pocket?
>>150498828Yes. Fuck yourself. >>150498977I get it. That's the reality. It also allows for heckin deep shit to made for the rest of us.>>150499395If you need a guide or the very comic you're reading to tell you what to read next that isn't the same title and the next number up, it's a clusterfuck.>>150499960Exactly.
>>150498711>(yes, Dog Man is comics too)You’re being just as retarded as the mangafag. These are collected editions sold to book stores. These are not in any way comparable to floppy sales. Im so goddamn sick of people conflating the two completely different products.To say nothing of manga fags ignoring that any manga that has made it to America has already recouped cost and so can sell for cheaper. Also to say nothing of the fact that pilkey’s books are also constantly on sale for a price that no other American children’s book cartoonist can meet. None of this signals a robust industry. It signals that products which can keep costs extremely low do better than ones that need to sell at a higher price point.
>>150498617Nyt best seller list is made up. You pay for the tagline on your book. Its not based on any tangible number or data.
>>150498617What should honestly happen is for the comics industry to take a note from the manga playbook, and write linear stories with a set beginning, series of plot points, and then an eventual end, rather than have a never-ending universe.
>>150498617>Not one, not two, but THREE entries in the top 10Pilkey stacking paper.
>>150498617>4. The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby>5. Absolute BatmanBatxisters.....
>>150498617It's pretty grim. Kid's books are doing alright but the teens and up age group is dominated by manga. This is Bookscan (bookstores) for July 2025.
>>150498617>>150501489So much trash.
>>150498617No, but you're a faggot, if that makes things any better
>>150500035It's a book kids like because it's funny
>>150498617>Slop leveling at the topYes, people have increasingly worse taste.
>>150501489Here's a thought: stop defecating the same capeshit over and over and give audiences what they want.This is a self-inflicted wound on the publishers' part.
This is frankly humiliating. The Zoo and older stuff like All-Star doing fine, but everything else is manga.This comes to prove that publishers have given up on actually selling comics to a large public.
>>150501232YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOTIC TOURIST FILTHTHOSE ALREADY EXIST
>>150498617Solo Leveling isn't manga. That's Korean webtoons.
>>150498617Solo leveling is ass tho
>>150501232Niggahttps://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comics/image
>>150498617Dogman doesn't retcon everything every other year. It would actually be possible to stay invested with Dogman's silly shenanigans, but with Batman you'll have seen 50 different Joker origin stories in your lifetime. This is why american comics are fucked, and have been for a long time.
