Acccctuually scholastic dominates the comic industry if we ignore manga sales. Characters Greg Heffley have a better claim to being the current face of comics than say Spider-man ( but spiderman is more popular, it's just he has more media to really on than just comics) because the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series significantly outsells typical monthly superhero comic books and, in many years, has outsold the entire traditional American superhero comic industry on a per-volume basis. It's only cultural inertia that we associate super heroes dominating the comic industry

We have the world's biggest media industry that was churning out a bunch of genres like action, mystery, romance, crime, etc.
Superheroes became one of the few things that could be more elaborately done in comics than tv/movies.
Americans also generally have an obsession with realism. Other genres in Japanese(and to an extent, Euro) comics leans alot towards the fact that it's a drawn, cartooning medium to exaggerate characters or create scenarios that wouldn't be conceived in a live action, realistic approach. Like One Piece is basically nothing like anything in the pirate genre in American movies, TV, or books. y

Because the Comics Code did lasting damage. Couldn't do horror comics, because most of the typical monster comics were banned by the Code. Couldn't do crime comics, because criminals getting away with their crimes was banned by the Code. Couldn't do anything overtly sexual, because that was banned by the Code too. Your options pretty much boiled down to squeaky clean milquetoast shit like Archie or superheroes, superheroes, superheroes. By the time the Code stopped being a problem the damage had already been done, publishers had shifted to prioritizing superhero comics.
