You know I’m right about this…

DC Comics President Jim Lee recently stated that manga is winning because Western comics lack variety and “flavor.” But is that the truth, or just a convenient excuse for a failing culture?
In this video, I break down Jim Lee’s comments and explain why the “lack of variety” argument is a massive coping mechanism. From the success of the Rippaverse to the existing variety in independent and French comics, the content is there—the environment is what’s broken.

It’s time to look in the mirror. If we want the Western comic industry to thrive, we have to stop making it about egos and politics and start making it about the medium again.
