I think this is really the reason I was never into comic books as a kid. It was all this. What happens when I'm not interested in superheroes?
I would have liked manga I'm sure, but I don't remember it being all that common at the time in the US. The story lines and characters are totally different.
You turn to Archie comics and pick up a sweet Sonic comic, or in my little sister's case Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Hell if you were around at the right time you could pick up the Ninendo Comics System from Valiant. I distinctly remember one panel being the first time I was reading on my own, with Lemmy bludgeoning Bowser over the head with a pipe wrench cackling "oh boy, this is fun" as he played the role of sidekick to Mario's alter ego Dirk Drainhead. There was so much good stuff out there and still is, even with the sea of woke garbage. It's just...not from DC or Marvel and that's all most people know or are ever exposed to.
I guess I was around at the right time, but to be fair at that age I never really pushed my way into the world of comics. I really don't remember any of my peers at that time in the American South being interested in any comics really. So, I don't know if it was just past it's time already, or it was a regional thing.
