True, but I get the feeling that's because they are designed differently.

Comic characters are made to last as long as they possibly can. Characters are more important than series, and plots only exist to give them adventures to live. While manga characters only exist through a specific series following a specific narrative schedule, and thus end with the series that created them.

On the minus side, many excellent characters are forever lost with each las chapter. On the plus, many new are born, with their own story and specialties. This notably writers to try out many new, cool and broken powers without fear of the consequences.

In the end, "comic vs manga" is essentialy "durability vs diversity".
