Manga's more popular with everyone, my friend. Anime, not so much in America, but the manga industry is doing about ten times better than the comic industry in America, despite the fact that readership of everything in America (except, probably, the internet) is steadily dropping year after year.
Ultimately irrelevant, it doesn't matter how well comics do in relation to manga, its how well the character concepts do. manga is still completely niche, well Hollywood movies are not.
More people know who Batman is then say Goku, because Batman has several big movies he has starred in and Goku, doesn't. Heck at this point the general public knows more about a previously unknown character like Iron man, then they do about any anime character.
