I always felt like the comic stuff in the US has been long dead, and only kept alive by the most hardcore fans. There's not much interest in comics, and maybe I'm way too young to remember, I even remember not many kids my age being interested in comics either.
I don't think it would work because capeshit is so formulaic that no one cares. Plus, i think the hardcore fans will subscribe to comic book subscription services like DC Universe Unlimited and stuff like that, so even if it's just 10 pages they know they will get 10 more pages next month. It's sad, but physical media enjoyers (like myself) are going extinct.
There's also the fact that Jump produces their work on recycled toilet paper so printing expenses are cheap as fuck hence why manga sales are so high since they're resold to you in better quality and no errors. Burger comics are way too overproduced because everything has to be in high quality coloring and paper as well as having several special edition covers for the collector market when the resale value is worthless since they print far too much at a time.The caveat to the manga system is that the authors generally have to consistently produce new chapters every 1-2 weeks. Giving retarded capeshit authors/artists hard deadlines to meet would probably be met with serious soy rage that they actually have to produce a product on someone else’s schedule… just look at pedo Vito and EVS as good examples of that
The only comic that genuinely interested me were the Garth Ennis runs on the Punisher, I've tried getting into other stuff and remember that Redditors are the ones writing this tripe.
Good news is that it's easier than ever to pirate comics, small time artists who like their fans will go out of their way to share physical copies like Sven Stoffels Butch Killigan.
Disney and WB only keeps their comic divisions alive to farm out movie ideas and because letting go of them wouldn't offset expenses even when the only thing that sells are Spidercuck and Batwank.
How is the second hand market for stuff like that produced in small quantities? For video games it's usually crazy expensive (e.g: price of Sega Saturn games), but i don't know about comic books.
They used to produce plenty of stuff like this in the West. You just file buffer stories in case there's a problem and tell authors to buck up.beause pleanty of people want a shot.The caveat to the manga system is that the authors generally have to consistently produce new chapters every 1-2 weeks.

It's not any more formulaic than manga. In fact, probably less so.
Probably because everything is a repeat of the hero's journey, but comic books really just repeat the same dozen characters since 1940.
And then a senile nursing home granny clocks him.
If it's like Undertale I can't. I couldn't beat the bullshit where you have to dodge stuff perfectly for 5 minutes at a time.
Most anime books are published independently by "scanlation" groups with ads built into the website. Oh, you meant official publishing. As has already been said, in Japan manga is published weekly or monthly in a magazine subscription. In the west, there is probably a similar arrangement, but I cannot honestly tell you that any western anime fan has ever purchased a magazine subscription to read manga, and even reading it from an official website is rare, and basically unheard of from the actual anime fanatics. On the websites, ads are packaged in the way you would expect, but I don't think the ads intrude into the actual comic pages in print, although I have no evidence for this except hearing that there is apparently an "art of the page turn" in manga.
Anime has a similar system where weeaboos will track the seasonal anime every season hoping for a new good anime (none has ever come), but it's third party tracking on various websites.
Kids these days are into webcomics anyways, some are hidden gems some are absolute shit but is surprising how "alive" the comic sphere is, i thought the art was dead until my niece showed me some that she liked, if there is to have a renaissance in western (or more specifically american) storytelling, they gotta capitalize on this, as much as i like Batman and superman and shit i think is time to put them to rest and get new shit going and show that we are better than the gook crap trannies consume.
scamming him, but it was a different one.
