Comic books...why is it all superheros?

[Vault101]

Ok 1. yes I know not all comics are super heros

but I was just thinking about the medium in general...its not exactally mainstream well ESPECIALLY here in Australia, but I think its a really cool medium

however when it comes to comics it seems to be all about super heros, and I mean non-super hero stuff just doesnt seem that common..however I supose you just have to dig around and/know where to look

Ive never I actaully read comics before so obviously I dont know much about them..I really want to read V for vendetta or The killing joke

But there are other genres.
You'll find a lot less "superheros" in the traditional sense in mangas, for example and I'm fairly sure if you just looked, you'd find plenty of non-superhero western comics too.

Not all games are egoshooters either.

egoshooter? thats a new word....

DC's Vertigo line and a lot of independent publishers are good places to look for non-superhero stuff.
