I love batman and tried to get into comics many times. But every time I’d ask where to start it wouid be paragraphs of text exposing were I “could start” multiple reboots, side world’s, multi verse who else knows what. So I just give up.
do comics have as much filler as manga? because most manga and anime I’ve seen (which isn’t too much admittedly) has been full of irrelevant shit just to pad things out.
I’m surprised you had this problem with IDW Sonic as it’s an incredibly easy book to follow. If you were confused by the beginning then know that the whole book takes place after Sonic Forces, but before Frontiers in the game timeline. Unlike Archie Sonic which is its own continuity.
Well, it was a spur-of-the-moment sort of thing when I went and looked at their site and it just had a bunch of names with no numbers there under the book art.
Went and checked now and site looks entirely different, and I can clearly see the issue numbers. I don’t know, maybe I hallucinated it.
Annoyingly enough a lot of books are trying to make the issue numbers harder to spot thinking that if readers aren’t intimidated by the issue number they’ll pick it up…
Maybe if they just stop doing reboots every three seconds instead?
And since each issue has “Variant Covers” now you can be tricked into buying the same book twice if you don’t notice those numbers
And that’s why Comics < Manga
and I say that as someone who reads more Comics than she does Mangas (Not really fond of anime aside from specific examples)

Most manga and anime don’t have filler. The long-running ones do, because, well, they want to milk them for all they’re worth.
Yeah. I tried getting into comics once and got a multi-gigabyte archive of deadpool stuff.
…couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Actually couldn’t get into IDW sonic/transformers for the same reason. WHERE DO I START!?
