There's only one basic style of drawing, and perhaps a couple of other styles deprived from it in American comic book art. There are some rare unique styles that can also be realistic but their plots are usually different than the normal DC/Marvel comics.Japanese art is a part of their culture. You can't compare the drawings in Death Note to, I dunno, every DC comic ever. Every person who makes comics can draw with that style.

Comic Books do it better because it is a team effort and the color and detail is done better in my opinion. Most mangas when I look at them really start to use the same art style over and over again to the point where the is no diversity. if you look at a comic book from the 90s and compare it to the comics of today, there is a big difference coloring and style, and that's just talking about the mainstream series, once you go off stream then you see almost every type of art style you can think of. comic books are way more diverse than manga. there was a DC graphic novel called Kingdom Come which was drawn like watercolor style painting, it was really interesting to look at.
