Facts about American comic books vs manga?

NOTE: I am not trying to put down comic books, I am just saying that in my opinion Manga is better

..

Manga is in general more of a story, whereas comic books are more a bunch of mini stories.

Some certain manga are not only for children (such as Detective Conan --also known as Case Closed, by Gosho Aoyama) and are fun to read while still educational-- in a way, the information you learn rubs off on you-- while comic books are for children and basically only teach people about justice and all that. It's good stuff to learn, I admit, but learning about how to think is, I believe, more important.
