That is true, but Marvel Comics is selling very badly nowadays as well. Manga is far more popular even in the U.S. as far as I have been informed.

Ain't Superman number 1 in comics? And batman number 3?
Or am I missing something/not getting right about that?

Counting the sales throughout their entire existences since 1939 they rank among the very top sellers together with One Piece, but nowadays they do not sell well, and neither do other western superhero comic books.

The crazy thing is he said they always ahead. I wouldn't put DC ahead in either games or animated movies currently.
speaking of animated stuff My adventures with superman's first and second episode are out.

Marvel released Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Guardians Of The Galaxy games, they are all amazing.
We will get Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 this year and in 3-4 years the Wolverine game.
I don’t think DC is ahead in games anymore. Gotham Knights was awful.

I think DC actually has a slight edge in comic sales
Definitely not in video games though lmao
And the spider verse movies are more successful than any DC animated project

just watched it pretty good. The animation style reminds me of wakfu. Slade looks more like an anime protagonist and i don`t complain.

About dc comics, can you get caught up? As in similar to manga? Or is there just too much and it will just feel all over the place?
- 26,415
- 30,722
I mean if you stick to reading a specific character only, then not really.
Like I'm not really that caught up with Flash or Green Lantern because they don't have a bajillion separate titles happening at the same time.

Let’s say you try to follow the chronologically order of the whole verse
does that work or no?
- 20,534

Like I’ve never been into comics… I was like, why would you read when there’s literally movies you can watch 
but then later on kinda understood it more via from manga but still at the same time am like… where the f do I even start with comics tho so like
hmm?
basically currently can’t understand how comics work, should be similar to manga right?

Is someone like batman also something who can't really have a chronological order or no?

Yeah. But something most characters share, is that they have important origin stories retold in morr modern terms.
If you want to read Batman, you read Year One, Long Halloween and Dark Victory. Then you’re ready to read any of his stories.
Batman currently has 3 volumes: Batman (1940) that contains all of his Pos Crisis story, Batman (2011) which is the first story in the New 52 period and then Batman (2016) which is still releasing monthly.
Read the origin story and just pick a run to read.

It's definitely Low-Mid

I mean it fits the standard, but that part of the Low-Mid definition always seemed dumb to me.
An attack being fatal is more dependent on the location than the actual level of damage. It would take more “regenerating power” to regenerate say both of your legs when compared to the amount of ”regenerating power” it would take to regenerate say your heart. Even tho the former may not necessarily be fatal, while the latter definitely is fatal.
I’ll eventually make a thread on that, if nobody else does
