The problem I find is that there is just a barrier for entry. There is a lot of material. People may look at One Piece and say "that's too many chapters". Not realizing that Batman by itself has over 700 issues, and that's just the base story. Brave and the bold is another 200 issues. Comic writers are having to go back and create bundles just to get a starting point for new readers.

"There's 1000s of comics that don't do the things you dislike about comics"
"But Batman though"

Then don't read Batman or anything from Marvel and DC. There is literally no barrier for entry with thousands of comics. There is a wide variety of genres amongst different publishers that aren't Marvel or DC and don't do all the things Marvel/DC get rightfully criticized for. Even a whole bunch of superhero comics.

I mean, if your a comic fan, its a good time to be a fan. As long as you know where to start. For me though, manga will always have an easier entry point, as its nearly always Issue 001.

Which is the exact same thing for Y The Last Man, Fables, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, Sweet Tooth, 100 Bullets, Saga, Paper Girls, Gideon Falls, Black Science, Invincible, Savage Dragon, The Walking Dead, Rat Queens, Irredeemable, Kick-Ass,...
