I just brought Scott Pilgrims Finest hour, I still need to get Scott Pilgrim gets it together and Scott Pilgrim vs the universe, why did I get 6 before 4 & 5? Because It's really hard to find in my town so I got the 6th when I got the chance, and I'm about to get the first 7 Death note books
ummm the comic its so difficult to buy , only have few pages but manga !¡ the manga its special because have more pages and have a unlimited types of themes not only super heroes , long live for manga <3
@Emo101ism i like death note and scott pilgrim, never read daredevil but i like spiderman, not sure about superman... definitely don't like yaoi, very boring, nothing but guys strking poses while %$#%ing, same thing for yuri ;o, i liked ouran host club which is probably considered yaoi by some, but gay relationships were just implied (gay fetish stereotype character traits were exaggerated) and it was hilarious when it turned out they were straight xD
@Emo101ism i also love manga and anime but how the hell do u hate scott pilgrim?! i mean comics are like 5 pages so it's kinda a ripoff but scott pilgrim is so much more...
Scott pilgrim the movie had gay characters in it, it was actually really funny but idk if ill like gay super heroes... But zombies of mass destruction's main characters where gay and because they where hilarious and killed zombies they just earned some respect for gay people lol. Its not a comic but its a hilarious movie
i agree the american way to read comics is the better way (not right) but better iam not a big fan of reading manga backwards. Because it is only backwards for Japanese so i dont see why its backwards for english as well apart from the cost for reversing the book. However the american way is the better way.
Some purists don't like the fact the art is mirrored, saying it's not how the artists originally intended it to be. Don't ask me why that even matters.
If they think that's bad, the UK versions of the Scott Pilgrim books have about 10mm cut off the sides of each page for no reason! THAT'S messed up.
@shinynewjb There is a big reason why it matters. You start dealing with continuity errors between media, like "why is he suddenly left handed, he was right handed in the comic" or "hang on, I've been to that place and thats backwards" or "Wasn't your hump on the other side?" also, if you look at it as art, and it was your work, would you want your artwork shown to most of the world in reverse of how you drew it? Beyond all that, you also have to realize, fanboys are crazy...
omic books are supposed to be read from front to back, regardless of what these awkward motherfuckers that would rather be in tokyo fucking school children on a speeding magnet train would have you beleave.
i draw anime and manga style but i like the american style story line better. except death note which was a great story. manga is more and more drifting toward hentai with the actual insertion. I wish they could focus on the story more than just focus on how much clothes can we not see on the girl characters.
@ShinjiAndrew you can find alot of "hentai" in manga because it's sometimes used as a joke in series, for example naruto. They make alot of jokes concerning nudity, but if you really want to find interesting manga without any mention of hentai then you'll have to look for series that are more for a mature audience.
i found the death note part of this clip my favorite part because i have just finished the whole series, but only on videos not the mangas, but the vids were english dubbed.
scott pilgrim and deathnote are amazing. i may be a manga fan but i do like western comics. ^^ skudoll is my fav and runaways.
on the gay question: wiccan and teddy are both gay and they bled it in nicely ^^ it not like "omg hes gay!" they support them and doesnt phase anyone the other chacaters which works so well.
thnx to this i read perry moore's story 'Hero'....It kicked ASS! I encourage everyone to read it, its AWESOME! ive re-read it like 30 times already lol :D looking foward to the sequel, p.s love the show!
Is there any fully coloured graphic novels or manga out there you would recommend? Are there any at all? Because to be honest I always had a rough time with black & white art in general. Black and white always feelt to me like I'm focusing to much on the panels trying to decipher what's going on instead of reading the story.
best graphic novel of all timeeeeeeeee issssssssssss JLA TOWER OF BABEL OR BATMAN YEAR ONE BUT HANDS DONW BEST STORY EVER TOLD KILLING JOKE ALAN MOORE IS A GOD
@yoben50 I didn's say anything about Scott Pilgrim. Yes, I know what graphic novels are 0,o? Why are you telling me this? Last time I checked Death Note is infact manga. So what was the point of that response?
@yoben50 "American manga" I fucking lol'd. SP is from Canada, and theres no such thing as an American manga, if its from America its a Comic, not that theres anything wrong with that, but thats how it is.
@darthneji1992 so what you ended up saying is that COMICS are your life. Seriously people how misinformed can most of you be. What do you think "manga" is if not comics? manga is the japanese word for comics thats all it is, thats all it means COMICS.
NO NO NO NO FUCK YOU GUYS YOU FUCKING KILLED DEATH NOTE. "its like reading a chess match" YOU MADE IT SAOUND SO FUCKING BORING!!!! YOU SHOULD FACE A MANGA/DEATH NOTE/CHESS RELATED ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!!
u guys are morons i love death note b.c it is like a vary intence chess game. how can u say it isint. what tehre trying to say is that its so planed out the entier thing is vary planed out. one person makes a move and then the other does like in chess. to say it isint is rather stupid. and they didint say its like reading a chess match. they said its like reading a vary intence chess match
yeah but the guys said if it was an "action awesome chess match" and after they said it was like a chess match they realized the mistake they made in making it sound boring by saying it was good and fun to read emodarkness is just being a bitch about it it kind of IS like a game of wits. Chess is a game of wits.
*lol* yeah I get it. I was meaning to get back here and say that I was blown over by my emotions back then. i kind of reflected at this you know. I think I was just mad at the idea of it being made boring. But it is indeed like a chess game match. Just...A REALLY COOL/best chess game match.
*lol* yeah I get it. I was meaning to get back here and say that I was blown over by my emotions back then. i kind of reflected at this you know. I think I was just mad at the idea of it being made boring. But it is indeed like a chess game match. Just...A REALLY COOL/best chess game match.
The Stack is my favorite feature in this channel. You guys are actually funny.
Thanks for talking about manga for once. Some of the best comics I've read are manga. I'd like to know what you think of some of the classics, like Nausicäa, or Berserk, or Blade of the Immortal.
It's good not to be so narrow minded that you can't enjoy a well written manga, though it seems that most people can't find a balance. It's usually either "manga sux" or "MANGA IS THE BEST!!!". Even though are plenty of good ones, there are plenty of crappy ones. Just look beyond the generic garbage like Naruto (Sorry if that offends anyone) and there are some good reads.
Another GREAT one. How do you guys do it so consistently? Good to see Pete in the patterned shirt. He should get gradually crazier and crazier patterns and no one should say anything about it until finally his side of the screen is just a big talking glowing flashing mish-mash of patterns. It would be totally psychedelic. oh and Groovy.
Actually, no. Naruto is technically one of the worst for using the same repetitive shonen story line and and doesn't have that good of art. A series like "Berserk" or "Monster" can be appreciated by a more mature audience and would appeal to fans of western style comic books and manga alike, and they don't include the silly exaggerations(Berserk does at some points, but not too much).
But I guess that you could commend them for creativity (signs and ninjutsu), character development and portrayal of action scenes(Way beyond usual hand to hand combat).
what size shirt are you, pete? i think i saw the perfect t-shirt for you at the mall. it'd be a nice change of pace from EVERY OTHER DAMN SHIRT YOU WEAR!
I'll tell you one graphic novel that does NOT stand the test of time: Crisis on Infinite Earths. The Perez art rules, but the continuity shifts have become annoying by now, and it's not character driven in the slightest.
Great episode. I wanted to to just shout out an agreement to your take on the "Gay characters in comics" op ed segment. I too feel that a characters sexuality does not define the character and writers are putting too much emphasis on the alternative lifestyle of homosexual characters. Though it should be addressed in the comics as it's part of the characters mode of operation, it should not be the defining factor of that character.
Expect Ultimate Colossus to die, afterall that's what they did with Freedom Ring (man that name is gay).
Justin: When you finish Death Note, you need to talk about what you thought of it as a whole. You're only half way, so there's a lot of action, but I want to see your response, especially to the ending.
(For the record, I loved DN, one of my favorite mangas... I finished it in two days <3)
kudos for taling on the gay in comics issue, as an older reader,and in retrospect..bruce,alfred and dick in the same house with not a lady to be found from the 40s-early 60s?? hmmmmm
was I missing under my naive youthfful nose,something?? just a thought!
My pick as greatest graphic novel is "the killing joke"
Ok last one promise. What I think about gay superhero's and gay peps in comics..... YES! YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES! MORE! MORE! DON'T STOP! DON'T STOP! PUT THAT SPANDEX TO GOOD USE! *thud* Crap I broke my chair again! And for the record, there have been gay characters in manga since about the 70's so it's not really a new thing.
Oh noes, why would you even wanna review manga? One of the best selling mediums bookstores has seen in the last few year amoung kids and young adult readers? My gosh, there are even flocks of females reading manga. Just go to some anime cons. There are more females than males that go to those cons. So, yeah, screw that demographic and keep it middle-age, male dominated forever!
If you wanna be politically correct on the book directions you should call them by their proper names. The way Americans read is called Western style and the way Japanese and Chinese have it is called Eastern style. Yet the Koreans read the way we do, left to right. Weird huh? I think it's because they write in lines instead of columns but I could be wrong. And thank you so much for finally reviewing a manga! I've bee waiting for this moment :D

Expect Ultimate Colossus to die, afterall that's what they did with Freedom Ring (man that name is gay).
Justin: When you finish Death Note, you need to talk about what you thought of it as a whole. You're only half way, so there's a lot of action, but I want to see your response, especially to the ending.
(For the record, I loved DN, one of my favorite mangas... I finished it in two days <3)

PUT THAT SPANDEX TO GOOD USE! *thud* Crap I broke my chair again! And for the record, there have been gay characters in manga since about the 70's so it's not really a new thing.

Oh noes, why would you even wanna review manga? One of the best selling mediums bookstores has seen in the last few year amoung kids and young adult readers? My gosh, there are even flocks of females reading manga. Just go to some anime cons. There are more females than males that go to those cons. So, yeah, screw that demographic and keep it middle-age, male dominated forever!

If you wanna be politically correct on the book directions you should call them by their proper names. The way Americans read is called Western style and the way Japanese and Chinese have it is called Eastern style. Yet the Koreans read the way we do, left to right. Weird huh? I think it's because they write in lines instead of columns but I could be wrong. And thank you so much for finally reviewing a manga! I've bee waiting for this moment :D
