Quoting myself from a year ago:

Manga: Here's a cast of 20+ new characters that tells interesting stories about conflict, tragedy, and life.

Comics: Here's a dozen characters that have been around for over 60 years doing the same things they always did. They're all fucking now.

It's not even this. It's that, even if it takes 10-20 years, manga will end and will reach some conclusion.

The only conclusion comic readers get is a brand new day, lol.

Even if they never end they could write stories in a way where you don’t need to go back 2 decades to understand a reference in a single pannel. And actually number the tpbs either as volumes in a contained story and not just write Batman in huge font on the side.

Even if they never end

Golgo 13 came out in 1968.

It's still going.

The anime wasn't shit, but then that came out in 1983.
