Apparently, 2004 Kind of Sucked

I always enjoy reading Paul O'Brien at Ninth Art and his article reviewing the year that was 2004 is no exception. O'Brien puts together a fine litany of horrors, and I think he has the general trend of mainstream comics correct -- for those keeping count at home, he goes with "circle-jerk" over "inbred." I'm still curious that if manga has been the story three years in a row now, why are the particulars of American comics industry maneuvers more worthy of analysis than the specifics of manga company strategies? There was a time in the 1990s when DC was treated less as their own company and more as "Not Marvel"; are we becoming guilty of treating manga more and more as "Not Comics"?
