That is another reason they didnt stand a chance. With comics, your options are "Superheroes", "Superheroes", and "Action packed fighter things".
Meanwhile, with Manga, you have actiony from mechs, actiony from insane fighting, slice of life, romance, ghost stories/horror, and sometimes a combination of multiple.
We do have Archie comics still and those are as slice-of-life as it gets.
True, but they were typically never counted in the Comic Book sales list IIRC.
And its not like they aren't other options. Scott Pilgrim and Crossed were both hugely popular in their heyday and were completely divorced from the capeshit market.
But the industry never followed up on that, or tried to capitalize on it (besides the Scott Pilgrim movie/game but that's a different industry entirely), so it never went anywhere. They were committed to the superhero genre completely. Even the non-super stories still share a universe with those so they are still connected to them.
