Here's why:
* Anti-heroes and villains: There are a significant number of comics that focus on anti-heroes (characters with questionable morals) or villains. Think of comics like The Punisher, Deadpool, or even the Joker.
* Genre variety: Comics encompass a vast range of genres, including horror, science fiction, fantasy, and even slice-of-life. Not all these genres necessarily require a hero.
* Non-traditional protagonists: Many comics feature protagonists who aren't traditionally heroic but are still the main characters. These might be everyday people, animals, or even inanimate objects.
To summarize, while superheroes dominate the comic book landscape, there's a diverse world of comics featuring anti-heroes, villains, and other non-heroic characters.
