Editors aren't doing their jobs?...... of course they are, just look at the amazingly popular Countdown to Final Crisis.... It was all editorially controlled... thats why it was later removed from continuity
American comics are alot different than manga, they SUPPOSEDLY revolve around continuity which is a joke after all these years. The american have pretty much had the same 100 characters that are re-written over and over into 1000 different stories.
Manga on the other hand goes with 100,000 different stand alone stories that go on for a long time.... (ie Bleach, naruto, goddess, hellsing, getbackers, inuyasha, sailor moon, etc, etc,)
While the former is can be fun for seeing the different possibilities (I am pretty sure every character has gone through an evil conversion AT LEAST ONCE) it gets old making a person want them all to just get killed off and make the writers actually create something new (something rarely done this day in age as far as the entertainment industry goes....)
Sorry that devolved into a bit of personal rant
