Not true manga had a bad year one piece only barely broke 14 million in new volumes (think trade paperback at 10 per volume that's 140 million in sales not counting jump subscribers money and puts out 4 or 5 new volumes year) this year, so it has to wait untill March to eclipse batmans life time total sales from comics and graphic novel, and trade combine. Do more sales in 22 years then batmans entire history is bad
I gave it another re-read. Hill's dialogue is OK but I still can't buy this Kwannon mentoring Laura thing. The part where Kwannon says she doesn't feel like she belongs on Krakoa and all she has is this mission got me.
But Cable being useless and the bad art is dragging down the book.
I must've used the word "irony" wrong but I was trying to say that not hiring an artist cuz their art style is manga-like when manga sells is silly.

"Cable was right!"
Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
Preaty much, I dont know why but manga sales are crazy this year. Who would have thought using a animated series to boost intrest in current storyline while lowering the barrier to entry coupled with ensuing the reader can easily access hard copys would be good for sales ?
Also how come one piece was able to trend on twitter each time a new chapter releases (chapters that didnt feature the main cast) for a month straight while comics haven't yet ?
I don't care what sort of current success she has. I frankly don't care how GOOD the artist is. If their style doesn't appeal to the audience you're trying to attract it doesn't matter if they're Leonardo @#$%ing DaVinci. And don't even start about choice of target audience because that's an argument that we can have until we're all blue in the face.
Ive said it before but the artist can drawn every character well except Kwannon and she's the main star
