[Manga] Grim'n'Gritty vs Four Colour

You make sound as if there is no discussion in this subforum.

But in regards to the thread topic, I don't have a preference. Many comics establish themselves as campy, realistic, satiric, etc. As long as they don't betray that concept and the story remains appealing, I'm perfectly fine reading it. Ultimate Spider-Man has lost much of its appeal to me in this regard. That's just one example.

The initial question asks about how graphic I want my comic. I tend to avoid graphic tales. Sure, if it's a murder mystery or a fantasy tale, bloodshed is hard to avoid. I don't see a need for similar graphicness in much more readily-available comics, such as those fitting more into the superhero genre.

Is the Silver Age my thing? Sometimes. Although I haven't read much from that period, it does have its own charm and, despite some fashion styles or turns of phrase, the stories stand the test of time.

Do I enjoy Ultimates more than something lighter, like Robin? Robin is lighter than the Ultimates, but it isn't light. I regularly enjoy Ultimates and do prefer it over Robin. That's not to say I don't ever read/enjoy a Robin issue.

Is there one company or brand that does it just how you like? Probably not, but that's mostly due to the way things are right now. Marvel and DC are too into big events and shock-moments. Image and Dark Horse, though offering a variety, rarely offer items that look truly inspired. And smaller companies such as IDW or Dynamite are often forced into licensing the rights to do comics based on preexisting concepts, whether it be a TV show or another comic.

What does the thread title mean?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
