Thanks for bringing that up Wiscanada. It sucks that this is the case, especially when there's so many good comics out there - The Walking Dead, Watchmen, Preacher, Sin City, Frank Miller's Batman comics, lots more.
I think that the phenomenon you're mentioning is worse for manga, people think that you'd have to be some kind of uber-nerd to have adopted nerd culture from Japan.
That's why I call all comics "graphic novels".
