Aquaman #3 - the peopledickery continues (4 pages)

But first! Pretty art.


Every sunrise? Dude, learn to let go.

Aquaman manages to scare the monsters away and saves a puppy but people continue being mean to him. Bloody surfacers.

Nice generalizations, there.

About what? I was talking about this comic specifically. Unless you mean the manga comparison. Yes, there are nuanced manga out there. But the majority of shounen manga (the Japanese equivalent of superhero comics in terms of content and demographics) are not nuanced.

Yes, I meant the manga comparison.

I know very well what shounen manga are, but you did not specify that you were referring to shounen manga.

Shounen is a genre, not the whole medium. It's like saying that the majority of books are about unrealistic love stories with rape overtones because so many romance novels are like that.

I guess I just thought it was obvious, because if we're talking about comparing superhero comics to manga it makes no sense to compare them to Jousei books or whatever.
