There's something bothering me about the whole comics versus manga thing the fandom seems to be divided over. I explore some of the issues in the link below for my personal thoughts, but I also go over the idea that while you can readily find American comics and Japanese comics (or manga) there is no sure representative of Australian comics culture, because we're in a situation where content is dumped on us and there doesn't seem to be a big market for Australian comics. Read my article below the jump if you want, if you want to discuss the idea of cultural content dumping on nations that have problems marketing their own culture.
What I wanted to discuss in this thread was, if you read comics, or manga, or both, what are the reasons or motivations for you doing so?
