Why are American comics like this?

Too many issues written by multiple illustrators.
Just make one, establish the IP, and call it a day. Marvel needs to stop milking stuff like Spider Man.

Similar problem with cartoons to an extent; too many reboots and remakes of Scooby Doo and Mickey Mouse cartoons.

    In America its normal to do collaborations for large projects, we don't work ourselves to death.

      well, why don't you just collaborate on one project, end it, and create another new, original idea?

      It's the reason only old men still read and buy comics. Most other people just watch the movie/show/cartoon adaptations or play the games. The comic books buying audience at least for marvel and dc is almost exclusively old men who just never left after things imploded in the 90s.

      either that, or some wokesters on twitter who will never read the comics

        Because I want my favorite characters to continue existing even if the original creator isnt around or stopped caring. Manga people pretend comics are soooo complicated to understand but when it comes down to it Manga fans want their favorites to continue running forever in an uninterrupted continuous epic so I think everyone wants the same thing. Some stories should end obviously, mostly speaking for hero charactes.

          Sounds unhealthy.

          well, if that's a concerning problem, just acquire another heir to the throne to finish the series from where it left off, like kentaro miura

          either that, or it's just better off to let it be unfinished and let the fandom create their own fanfics

      Lol I've been hearing "only old guys in their 40's read comics" since I was a kid in the 2000's. Its a dwindling market don't get me wrong, but there's always a small crop of people who come in because of those other medias who want more stories with these characters, and a lot of these adaptations are on a drip feed.

    This is because of the speculators that purchase comics from the direct marker. Because of the history of "important" first issues (like Action Comics #1), speculators will almost always put "#1" issues on their pull lists, meaning sales for #1 issues are regularly the highest selling Marvel and DC books, so Marvel and DC regularly reboot ongoing, established books with a new "First Issue!" to artificially bunp their sales up. This is a huge reason why the floppy market is dying and comics just need to embrace the book market rather than cowtowing to the dying direct market.

      The hilarious thing is that it used to be the other way around, #1s sold poorly because the number meant it was a new and unproven concept that might be shit, leading to publishers preferring to rename older books or introduce new series in ongoing titles so they could keep the old numbering.

      I'm not denying that's what happens, but why would a collector grab a #1 issue from the 2010's that doesn't feature a new character. Those 1st issues only sold at high price because it was Superman's or Spider-Man's first appearance.

        Because the comics industry deluded itself into thinking speculators and new readers will still buy any new #1, without realizing that constant relaunches gave the audience the mindset that relaunches are now jumping-off points instead of jumping-on points

        People claim that new readers won't try #625 of a title but would buy a #1, but I'm seeing that to be less true

    Manga is a collaboration too, they just don't credit all those poor assistants, something US would never put up with even with our poor creators rights in beginning.

    OP moronation aside, I think Marvel and DC could put out less ongoings because most of them don't make that much money or last long. I wonder if doing more miniseries and OGNs would be better. Just stick to a couple dozen of ongoings focused on the best selling characters and anything else gets 6 issues to test the waters.

    Aw, man. Haven't heard that name in a dog's age.
    Ignoring the OP, is it any good?
    I'm one of the people who jumped ship after Ultimatum, and came back for Death of Spider-Man. It's amazing how one event could be so bad, it sours an entire fictional universe.
