Just ask comic book-Gaf. Well point you to the books that'll match your tastes. And they'res tons of indie comics that have a single voice and a start, middle and end that range a wide variety of genres

What's most impressive is Doom's ability to blow a horn without lips, lol.

I know it's perhaps a sacred cow among comic fans, but I never saw the appeal of Deadpool for example from what I've seen of him, but maybe I have to be a big comic fan to get it, otherwise it just comes across as random humor.

Yeah, I just picked up a random issue of Spider-Man with my only exposure being the 90's cartoon and the movies and I was straight.I don't know why folks think you need 50 years of study just to read a comic series, 98% of comics are just as easy to jump into as 98% manga. If not more so
Don't worry too much, Deadpool's more recent depictions (especially as written by Daniel Way) have been rather controversial from what I've gathered.
I enjoy these silly, old-school panels.
Every time I see any modern stuff posted, it seems...too try hard? Like the dialogue is trying to be deep and funny, or sophisticated, and it always falls flat. Or it tries too hard to be referential, like that Doom panel where the guard breaks the fourth wall posted a few posts back which doesn't do much for me.

I'll be honest, I don't get this...the dialogue is just weird.

Hawkeye is just a chill, down to earth guy who acknowledges he's basically the lamest of the avengers
I'll be honest this is slightly infuriating.
I skip over any anime or comic book/movie thread. I always imagine adults into that like the comic book guy from The Simpsons.

Man, that first page jumped on this comment, but it's true. Superhero continuity is very intimidating and convoluted. Everything is intertwined. Japanese comics are more serialized as a whole, but One Piece #1 doesn't require you to read Ippo 1-50.Manga, you can pick a series, and jump in without any problems, but like comic books, there's all these confusing terminology to learn, how each story ties into one another, the various continuities, it's pretty intimidating.
When people bring up nerds, they no longer bring up Dungeons & Dragons and comic books. They bring up WoW. I think a lot of people have had fat, sweaty relatives have their lives taken over by WoW. And, if you ever hear a WoW conversation unfold, you can see why it's so grating to normies.
What do you mean by "filler"? If you asked me about filler in the manga itself, I'd say, "No such thing." If you're asking me about filler in terms of the anime, I'd say that any of the episodes or story arcs that were created expressly for the anime would be filler - so basically these lists.

It's always manga fans that start this argument. I mean, I get that comics aren't everyone's cup of tea (I stopped reading for over a decade myself, just got bored) but it's ALWAYS manga fans. Making the exact same complaints.
Glass houses, bro
You might as well keep saying it's unappealing to you because saying it's bad art is bull and it's very hard to take you seriously.Honestly, your avatar is what I'd consider an example of bad-art (but since it's an avatar, I assume you chose it for the impression it gives rather than how good it looks), or at least unappealing to me.
I think it's just that they see all the comic movies and they feel that they're not aimed at them or their interests? Or it's just "Stupid Americans can't appreciate foreign culture." (I'm Irish btw, and I think Americans are great).
"Why isn't Hollywood throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at things for ME?"

Example of sensible emphasis in manga:I'll never understand it. They don't even bold words that it would make sense to emphasize.
Comic books should learn from Araki.
Really fucked up shit.
Nah, basically I just enjoyed the Shonen-genre pretty much as a kid (which is on the same level as superhero comics, so it's not like I consider them beneath me intellectually or anything), and whenever I feel nostalgic I might read through one.

I think saying you find some art is unappealing and saying that you think something is bad art is pretty much the same thing. Unappealing is just a nicer way of saying you think something is bad.You might as well keep saying it's unappealing to you because saying it's bad art is bull and it's very hard to take you seriously.
You should give Berserk a try if you haven't already.
Is it really gory?
I sort of have a weak stomach for that sort of stuff. Like reading JoJo even is sort of uncomfortable for me with some of the body horror (anything involving eyes, that fucking soldier that Santana possesses), and I've heard Berserk gets pretty rough.
And while talking.

I mean, I don't really know much about Hawkeye outside of the Fraction stuff...but when you have a team of guys who have super strength, can fly, have power armor etc....a guy who is a good archer seems a little out of place.
I didn't mean to insult him I promise! I just like that in Fraction's Hawkeye, he's very aware of the company he keeps and of his own abilities. It makes for good self-deprecating humor and makes him more relatable. Plus, he's all the cooler for it when he actually does do awesome things with his bow.

That is how you do it.Yeah, I just picked up a random issue of Spider-Man with my only exposure being the 90's cartoon and the movies and I was straight.
THe movie is going to be so bad.duggan and posehn have done wonders for his character, but waypool, while his most popular incarnation, is hated by fans of deadpool prior to his writing

I mean if you tell someone you want to read about Goku, you know where to begin...Dragon Ball, Volume 1. There's an easy to understand linear progression of the character.
But you can't do that with, say, Spider Man. When you say you want to read about Spider Man, it's who's run, what universe, which continuity, etc.
Manga just has far less baggage than western superhero comics. I think people would agree with this point, right?
