"The Biggest Attack on Titan Manga Announcement Ever" Part I

*Yawn* Here I thought it might be something exciting. But no. Sorry, but I can't care. I read manga and not American mainstream comics because American mainstream comics are like the opposite of what I like, 99 percent of the time. I wish American comics were more like manga, not the other way around.

I mean, in Japan, manga isn't a niche thing, it's widely published and sold everywhere, it has a huge variety, spanning just about every genre, it has wide appeal. American comic writers are stuck writing the same characters over and over in an extremely corporatized controlled system. Ew.

Maybe this is cool for those who actually like both, but I don't think there's that many of those, and I can't imagine those people who actually read American stuff and don't read Attack on Titan would care that much either.

You also left on out costumes! Better and more female friendly costumes! Even purveyors of cheesecake like Dyanmite Publishing are getting in on the act

But they change the sexes and ethnicities now! They're so progressive and innovative!

You joke, but I honestly think it's starting to become true, and for the first time in over a decade I'm becoming less and less embarrassed to be a comics fan.

Also, show of hands: Who DOESN'T want to see Hulk vs a Titan? :D

"The biggest attack on titan manga dissapointment ever"

That's how I now read the title of this article. I can see how some can get excited for this but I am sadly not one of them. American comics bore me to no end.

Hulk punches Titan, Titan dies.

The concept of any Marvel character being in true danger from a Titan attack is utterly laughable at best, and I can't see the crossover holding any real tension.

Why is that so? If anything, this is why we should be interested.

That said, the Western anthology looks intriguing. I'm curious as to what directions they'll go in their stories, and what the different art styles will be like.

Plus I like American comics, sue me. Scott Snyder's basically been writing Batman like a horror comic for the past couple of years, I can't wait to see what he'll do when he gets to write a story featuring actual literal monsters
