Personally I like action anime, and I will only read the modern style of superhero comic. I find the old-school art style completely unrelatable, to the point where I'd say a lot of what came out before all the fancy inking came along was UGLY. As an example, when I read, say, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it's like I'm watching a movie. When I read Watchmen, it feels like I'm looking at drawings of dudes standing still.
There's something about the newer stuff/anime that conveys movement and momentum in a really exaggerated, childlike way that I can really relate to when wanting to read about superhumans beating the shit out of each other.
And yes, there's a difference in culture, that's because it's from a different country (golly!). USA USA USA?
