>US comics are more intricate and harder to follow, but it's potentionally more rewarding.
I'm not sure that this generalisation holds, I grew up with comics like Laureline and Valerian by Christin/Mezerieres, the work by Jean Giroud aka Moebius, and I'm sure there are many of other european made comics I read back in my youth which are quite advanced story-wise, there's more to european comics than Tintin and The Smurfs :)
On contrast I've often found the formulaic superhero style stories dominating US comics to be rather 'simple', but of course that's a generalisation as well.
