[Manga] Grim'n'Gritty vs Four Colour

In the interest of actually generating some sort of discussion in this forum, I've come up with what I think is a pretty neat topic. How graphic/realistic do you like to have your comics?

Is the Silver Age your thing? Do you enjoy the style of The Ultimates more than say, something lighter like Robin? Is there one company or brand that does it just how you like?

I'll wait for a few people to write something before I give my own opinion.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Four Colour comics are the opposite. They are extremely campy. Think really old school Action Comics or Batman.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hantei, I'm not referencing just the artwork. I'm referring to the style as a whole. How "mature" the stories are is just as important as how graphic the art is.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
