drunkguy suggested something that I never even thought about before. Would you read a manga adaptation of an American comic franchise/hero? You know, like Spider-man or Superman. Mostly Marvel and DC, but there's other stuff out there... 3t6f5k

Damaging and healing, two opposite ends of the spectrum

A just ruler amongst tyrants

There was Spiderman and Spawn that i know, and in anime many more like Blade, X-men, Ironmen and so. I think the story was darker then the original, and they tormented the heroes more.

I would read the comic if I want to read comic.

My perfect sentence when someone suspect me : "I'm not suspect, it's not me I swear"

Probably not.

Yes, of course! My tag Based on a Comic says hello. Feel free to add more.
Baymax are the only worthwhile entries.This wholesale imitation-idea is technically unneeded as some US artists draw in a manga style and some mangaka draw in a EU style, while... This question could be asked in all 3 directions and there is always Frank Miller who combined all 3 styles in 1983:

A certain DC movie just came out btw. A professional "top critic" wrote that it was so bad, that it assaults the idea of entrainment itself. SO bad... See you in the cinemas, in spirit.

I picked "Probably not," though I have read Snikt! once, several years back. I'm not keen to repeat the experience. Come to think of it, maybe I should have gone with "No way"...

Probably not... but I have read yaoi doujins with it that were great!

probably not, because i don't read comics to begin with lol. i just watch the movies

Probably not because the main thing I hate about western comics is reboots and retcons. I want a series I can start with chapter/volume one and count up from there til the end. A manga adaption I feel would just be another reboot since there isn't much continuity to follow.

The latest Batman stuff doesn't even feature Robin, and my favorite thing about that series was having an older man in spandex dress as a bat run around with a little boy in booty shorts. Did Robin die or something?

Unless it's something unique in a way Spider-Man was, I would not read such an adaptation.

Yup, I would.

There are two main reasons I don't tend to read American superhero comics:
(1) I dislike the ing. There are so many words to each --it never seems to quite flow like manga/manhwa/manhua does, making it difficult for me to read. If I wanted to read something with a lot of words, I would just read a novel. When I read comics, I want the words to be part of the image, and it seems that American superhero comics never seem to entirely grasp that. (Alternative comics are a different story, but I'm assuming we're sticking to the superheroes.)
(2) The reboots/multiverses/crossover continuities are so confusing. It's like having to read twenty different storylines just to understand some small piece you might be interested in. It's basically Clamp's terrible crossover shenanigans as standard practice. And just when you get attached to a particular continuity, it gets retconned! I prefer some stability with my backstories.

Usually, when these superhero comics get adapted to manga/anime, they smooth out these issues. Only one chosen continuity, with standard manga ing. In that case, since I read widely in all genres, I would definitely give it a try. Even generic/overdone plots can be interesting in the hands of a good mangaka.

Wheres the option "I already have"?

I would give it a shot. Seeing how mangaka would handle the costume redesigns would be worth a look at least. Having good self contained stories that aren't interrupted by frequent crossover events American comics have been plagued with for well over a decade now would also be a fine change of pace.

To be fair that's already a pretty common thing. The really dark Japanese version of Spiderman is probably the most infamous, but there have been a couple of different Japanese takes on Batman, The Avengers, Spawn, and Sandman as well. There was a boom of adapting western action oriented television series into manga and illustrated LNs too for a while. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. got both a shounen and a josei version, even Columbo got a Japanese only retouch. I should get around to adding that stuff to the DB someday but who really cares about low budget manga versions of crappy 70s television serials?

Wait a minute: "Would you read a manga adaptation of an American comic? (Marvel, DC, etc)" The publisher aren´t in the correct alphabetic order and DC is older too!
Is someone trying to plant a subliminal message 😲 ?
[img]Sandman - The Dream Hunters isn´t a manga but it is good. On the list!
