I don't think it's quite right to compare everything in this to western comics. Yes, it's very clearly inspired by them and perhaps even designed to emulate them, but there's still a Japanese author making it, and that means that there's going to be aspects of the storytelling that won't perfectly mirror comic books. I'm not saying the comparisons are without merit, but it would be wise to remember that the tropes that show up in western comics won't always show up or be handled in the way you're used to seeing.
I definitely don't expect to see any Cables or Punishers, that's for sure. :P
