I read them all.
Manhwas and Manhua are pretty nice to read because sometimes you want to take a break from manga.
I like reading those strips in the newspaper.
They're short and funny.
American comic...Not really if you mean those superhero stuff.

Only manga. I do occasionally read manhwa but not enough for me to choose that. We don't get the newspaper so no comic strips, and I absolutely hate American comic books and "graphic novels."

Love them all, I think too many manga readers are hung up on stereotypes of what they think American comics are just like so many on the other side love to stereotype manga.

I love all comics. I'll admit that I read more Asian stuff than other things, but that's mostly because of things like this website. They have large translation communities.

I read all sorts of comic strips in the paper. I buy lots of US comics. Well, that's not really true. I recently pruned down my purchases to just a few lines.

English(that is From England) comics are usually quite good. They have a surprising amount of SciFi stuff there, among other things.

I don't often find translations of (non-english) European things but the one's I've read were quite good.

I have no knowledge of the African or Australian Comic industries.

I read across the board. I started with American comics which I still read certain cherished titles and then branched out into European comics (italian comics being a big favorite) and Manga, Manhwa and Manhua. Each sub-franchise have their well worn tropes and stereotypes and I have certain favorites that will get me coming back for more regardless of where the comics originate from.

I read mostly manga but I do check up on american comics now and then when my favorite characters show up (Loki, Creed, Dr. Doom, Sinister. I love them baddies)

The only manhua I read is The Ravages of Time. The only manhwa I've read is Utopia of Homosexuality. Both are very good.

:facepalm:
not all american comics are about superheros just like how not all manga are about 13 year old metro sexual boys with magical powers.
