The world of American comic books is just no looking too good. First, Demon Slayer outsold the entire comic book industry literally in the 100 millions. Comic book stores closing and fans leaving comic books and moving on to manga and anime.
It is said to say but the top selling graphic novels are not made in America. The top 20 graphic novels of the first quarter of 2021 are actually all manga. Here is the chart to proof it.
Viz Media is making money and rejoicing. Many manga artist are happy and laughing at how stupid American comic book artist are for ruining their own industry. Manga has taken the top 20 spots for the bestselling graphics novels.
At the end of the day the American comic book industry has no one else to blame but themselves and guess what is happening now. Many comic book characters are being translated over to manga. That is right. Check out the Deadpool Manga which has more readers than hundreds of comic books combined.
Marvel is looking to make more of their titles into manga. Just take a look at the Deadpool manga that was reviewed by yours truly, Andy Matrix of Andy Art TV.
Even DC has had their titles turned into manga, trying to reach the Japanese audience. Take a look at this image of the Wonder Woman Manga.
Its obvious that comic books are no match for manga. The Japanese are doing something right that comic books arent if even the American fans are choosing manga or western comics. Want to know what Manga is doing right.
Drum rolls please!!!!
Telling a really good story.
Many comic book companies have forgotten that they have to tell a good story and are more focused on activism and adding political agendas to their stories. This is the cause of the collapse of the comic book industry. Its all their fault and got no one else to blame.
Also lets not forget that Disney is also trying to get into the manga business. Recently they published Star Wars Manga.
Since Disney owns Star Wars and all its novels and comic books, they also have the right to publish a manga. They are trying to capitalize on manga because they also are aware that comic books are going down the drain. Lets not forget that Disney also takes part in the whole politically correct movement as well as identity politics and all that other nonsense.
Of course the manga will sell much more than the comics. It was rather a good decision on their part.
