Why haven't Marvel, DC craved on the manga style/or making comics that are like Scholastic (get away from their superhero comic comfort zone)?

[Novostranger]

They are very successful on the movie and TV industry but they're a failure in the comic industry, failing to mangas and Scholastic comics every time.

Mangas have very diverse topics, from slice of life to fantasy, everything.

Scholastic comics are beloved by schools and kids.

But Marvel and DC for some reason are still hesitant to make comics that can compete with the Japanese or Scholastic. Why is that???

Also I know that visual novels exist but they aren't mangas lol

[ナルゴ]

Because they switched to being multi media IP's. Doesn't matter if Marvel/DC are like only fraction of the comic book industry now

Maybe I'm a bit unclear, but I thought manga just meant comic books made in Japan by Japanese people. Are you requesting that Mavel and DC make anime style art in their comic books?

Also even other companies don't want to make manga styled comics

I say that they should make other types of comics that aren't just superheroes but rather a myriad of unique themes like mangas

Marvel and DC are media colossuses, they could shut down every video game, take down every movie and they still would make satiable amount of profit. You can compare Marvel or DC not doing manga to an act of God who cares not about few villages, for they are simply almost meaningless to him.

Why should they change things? Because random internet person X says so?

They're not hard questions. Especially the first one. the latter is rhetorical.

Marvel already did that. Under the leadership of Joe Quesada, Marvel diversified its product line with a bunch of different imprints - Marvel Epic, Marvel Knights, Marvel MAX and so forth. This was way, way, way back in the early aughts. They even went as far as to publish a Marvel Mangaverse. But Marvel did not see much success with it if I remember correctly.

That's why comic readers go to DC Comics when they want something more than superhero stories. DC's Vertigo imprint was home to a lot of different types of comic books. But success was hit and miss. There was, I think, a really good rock and roll comic at one point. But got cancelled due to low sales. Eventually, the Vertigo imprint itself got cancelled and its more successful titles were, if I am not mistaken, folded into the DC Black Label. And most recently, I think, DC brought back the Vertigo imprint for - Honestly, I don't remember the reason. But the point is it's back. Whether or not it will find the same success again, remains to be seen.

Still, if comic book readers are tired of the typical Marvel and DC fare, there is always Image comics - Here, quality varies because Image Comics is where indie comic book authors go to produce their work. And back when I was still following comics monthly, Image was the go-to-publisher for quality work by Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman and countless others.

could be cultural differences. like say take high school romance comic. its made and sold better in the east asia due to the rigid cultures in there than west where kids have less judgements and pressures. a lot of feelings and things are easily expressed outside than japanese cultures

Having boomer nerds change their drawing style isn't going to cut it (and it didn't)
They would have to actually hire new people who know how to bridge that cultural gap, not just superficially copy it.
