I'm not speaking of content. Content is a whole different issue. But consider the price you pay for what you get- what is cheaper, manga, or comic books?
Consider the facts that manga is usually not fully colored, why comic books usually are, and printed on better paper, but manga is also translated and usually aren't backed up by some big name company, like Marvel, DC or Image, and has more content per issue. (a monthly comic book issue usually has around 25 pages of content, while a monthly manga isshue usually has around 45 pages of content).
