Do you guys like super hero concept genre?

[artbookam]

Hi Guys, It's me the artist of Grumble manga series, story by Nick Reid. You may support me at (//www.facebook.com/ArtManiaam) a share would help me a lot on keeping up with the manga.

In so many comic series and manga series. It's not so typical to bump a super hero action genre like grumble manga.
How do you guys value a super hero genre of comic or manga?

There is definitely a lot of fun still to be had with it, though some might find it cliche. Recently One Punch has become one of my favorite manga series! So yeah I think it still has value, it's such a staple of comics in general it's hard to overlook.

How do you define "superhero"? (genuine question)
There's gotta be something more to it than just people with special abilities running around in spandex... unless that's it?

[DynamoToon]

SUPERHEROES ARE AWESOME!! My favorite is Antman (I liked him before the movie) or deadpool. Also little bit of trivia, did you know the word SUPERHERO is actually copyrighted by Marvel and DC.

I love superheroes.

Superheroes were what got me started. What got me liking comics and trying some of my own.

I'm not as much a fan anymore.
but they still have my heart.

I'm frankly not really into Superheroes though, by working in comics, you really have to have some good grounding in the genre. While I don't really like the stats, powers, black and white heroes, I do like stuff that kind of bucks the tradition of superhero types and tropes. That's why I loved Kickass so much. I love when a bit more reality gets thrown in, when humans by their very being human rise up to the occasion to become extraordinary. What's so cool about a guy whose totally going to win every time? It gets dull, it gets boring. Superman vs [Insert baddie here] isn't all that new to me, but if you flip it, and make an everyday person go up against the likes of Superman? Now that's different.

It's a genre that's been played to death, and the only way to get something new is to find an angle that people don't see often. While Kamikaze might be considered a superhero genre by some, for us it's as much super hero as Game of Thrones is highfantasy. Game of Thrones puts human stories in a fantasy setting - we kind of try to do the same thing with Kamikaze. Human stories in a dystopian-semi-superhero setting.

I grew up reading the standard american superhero comics, and the creators behind those characters influenced me as a creator myself, but the older i've become the genre here in America is stale because the stories are never ending so it becomes a mess after awhile. I gravitated towards manga when I hit my early teens because the art style, themes, and characterizations appealed to me more, and stories are told about the characters from beginning to finish, which is how i think an actual series should be depicted.0

But i don't think a superhero story in itself is bad, just make it a good story I say. I don't think that I can say that my series R:ILPERSONA is superhero genre since it is primarily influenced by manga/anime, science fiction, and my love of fantasy/RPGs...but the influences of all the old Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther (when it was written by the great Christopher Priest) Daredevil, and Mark Waid's Impulse stories show up from time to time in my writing, albeit subconsciously.

SUPERHERO

Yes, which is so fishy to me because the term "superhero" should not be something that is eligible for a trademark.

But then again, copyright laws have been changed and will be changed to keep such characters as Mickey Mouse and Superman from entering the public domain, so Marvel and DC getting away with that isn't a shock.

[allenthomas]

I don't mind a good ol' "superhero" story. I'm a sucker for any type of action comics of any kind, so yeah, can't get enough of them.

[maeaton08]

I'm actually not really into superheros. Currently I only follow two of them: 1) the new Ms Marvel (because she's the cutest little superhero in the history of everything and I just want to hug her and tell her everything is going to be ok); 2) Moon Knight (because he's awesome and I find him relatable).

But superhero genre doesn't necessarily follow the typical Marvel or DC format. There are a lot of indie superheros coming out right now that delve into deeper issues (not that Marvel and DC don't but they tend to be more focused on the action than the big issues). For example, "Red One" by Xavier and Rachel Dorison could be considered superhero (also, I highly recommend it!). "Kabuki" by David Mack even has superheroesque elements to it (also highly recommended!). Also, I'm guessing "Strong Female Protagonist" but I've only read a short excerpt of that one so can't say for sure.

Edit: Forgot to add "Mara" by Brian Wood and Ming Doyle

Hey. I love superheros. I mean, I rarely see them in manga. But watching them in movies and cartoons based off comics (I don't really read the comics, but had read some of deadpool and the new aqua man series) by dc and marvel they're just spectacular.
I even created my own superhero comic (Delinquent Squad) based upon a version of the world with a lot of people with superpowers (Let's say a small percentage) That even go to schools with training programs based around the fact they have powers. And in the high schools kids get paired into teams of 8. The comic is about the 'Delinquent squad' one of the rowdiest bunch in the school for some reason or another, they don't have their heads on straight (as according to the teachers). What I like about my story is that even 'heroes' are a little jaded/crooked, but even as jaded as they may be, they'll fight to protect what they deem as important.
Anyway, I really think it's cool that you're making one too. ^^

I say that's great, haven't seen much super heroes genre around on Tapastic much.

I am currently working on one right now. However, I may need to postpone the first chapter release due to busy schedule and finishing page 2.

[aspiderjonny]

Superheroes were and still are an important part of me. Reading Spider-Man and Hulk are the reasons I wanted to make comics and Marvel is the direct inspiration for my Jonny and Valve series'. I never really got into manga as a kid mostly becasue they all looked the same to me. Where as every book Marvel put out at the time had different art styles (to me anyway). And probably more so today, since comic artist are taking a more cartoonish style (which I love).

I've obviously grown a lot since then and can appreicate the more down to Earth mangas, though I still lean towards the superhero genre. I just like seeing extrodinary heroes and villains throw different powers at each others. And there's people who can take simple ideas, like superheroes, and make interesting things from them.

Also I kinda like the ongoing nature of American comics. To me it's always something to forward to every week. I really think you should only end a series if the creators have to. I just hate when writers and editors take continuity too seriously. Like, why are you bringing up this one detail from 150 issues ago? Just get on with the story! JEEZ!

As for defining the superhero genre. Well, I guess the general consenus is American characters in spandex fighting in large cities. But a lot of animes like DBZ on Attack on Titan kinda look a little superhero-esque to me. So I don't think it's only an American thing, just that America has the "pure" superhero genre. I guess I'd define the superhero as more of a sub-genre of crime/cop stories. That's what superheroes are, people who decide to take the law into their own hands because the police just can't handle all the crime going on. Whether they have superpowers, gadgets, or just a mask is up to the writer.

[kklekc718]

All manga looks the same? HA! You haven't seen enough. There are some really good ones out there.

Fullmetal Alchemist for starters.

Berserk if you want to go hardcore (Much more graphic than 300).

Gurren Lagann (if you can find the actual one based on the animated series, not the spin-offs)

Those are some I can think on the top of my head for now.

[aspiderjonny]

That was a thought from 7-year old me. I don't believe that anymore. In fact I'm a little ashamed for how closedminded I used to be about Japanese cartoons and comics. I've watched a couple of animes since then. Not many though. Mostly Studio Ghibli, Teen Titans, Cowboy Bebop, and Legend of Korra.

I tried to get into Attack on Titan. I watched the first two episodes and really enjoyed it, aside from common anime cliques that annoy me. But the problem is that Netflix only has the subtitled version. I like to watch stuff while I work on pages and that's kinda impossible when I have to read everything. DAMN IT NETFLIX!!!

I've been curious about Fullmetal Alchemist, so maybe I'll watch that sometime.

I still think animes look a bit too simualr to each other. It's ether mega detail with spikey hair, or tiny chibis. I'd like to see something from Japan that was inbetween.

[AngieVX]

Depends on a superhero, and if I don't dislike his outfit too much, he has a chance to get some love XD

[infectedbloodcomics]

I grew up on superheroes Western comics and really enjoyed them, but nowadays less so - I actually stopped reading them a long time ago. I think my fascination with gray/villainesque characters finally took over, so even superheroes faced with moral dilemmas and the like now just vaguely interest me anymore.

[mg78]

i never liked superheroes. boring, childish and ugly.

[artbookam]

I thought of that too.. maybe a superhero, people with special abilities saving other people.

[artbookam]

Outfit matters much xD so you'll dislike him if he's wearing underwear outs of his pants?
