Reason #947 Why Manga Are Kicking the Asses of American Comics




What would you do if the one person you counted on turned out to be an imposter?

With the Skrull homeworlds destroyed, they believe the Earth to be theirs. It has been foretold in their scriptures!

The shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrulls has secretly infiltrated every super-powered organization on Earth with one goal...full-scale invasion!

Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Francis Yu leap off the pages of mega-hit New Avengers and deliver a story that will change the Marvel Universe forever (again).


Great. Once again, the reset button is hit, and status quo is restored. Guh.

My favorite part, of course, is the last bit of the last sentence. I mean, come on, how many times can they "deliver a story that will change [insert comic book universe here] forever" before American comics finally go bankrupt?
