    do comics have as much filler as manga? because most manga and anime I’ve seen (which isn’t too much admittedly) has been full of irrelevant shit just to pad things out.

      Not really, since there’s such a limited page amount, the only comics with “filler” either are because the editor kept mandating arcs that sell too well be stretched out as much as possible (Marvel infamously did this with Spider-Man’s clone saga to the irritation of EVERYONE!), or because it’s something like Early Archie Sonic where the stories are intended to be episodically self-contained to begin with.
