FYI I didn't mean that as a diss at manga, I was just saying the excuse that it's in B&W because it's manga influenced doesn't work. Marvel and DC have made plenty of poorly drawn comics (I think some might be as shitty as Superkiller) but at least they always hire a colorist.Color wouldn't help it. It would make it worse. Manga looks great compared to this. Real mangaka are insanely talented and professional, even amateur mangaka have a better sense of black & white than this guy. Walking dead art was just simple, good enough nothing to complain about nothing astounding. I used to read the same artist's X-Files comics and it was the same deal. Just consistent art.
Beyond that I know the best drawn manga make the production of B&W a strength not a limitation. Berserk has some of the more insanely impressive illustrations made for commercial media. To color the baroque backgrounds and body horror without creator's (RIP) consent is vandalism. With that said I do think the fan colorized versions of Jojo do work in its favor especially after Araki turned it into a metrosexual fashion show.
