It is really well done. Great acting, nice take on the comic series and the changes work.
I have been trying to describe the series to those that have never tried it and I think one of my podcast guys said it best (I just don't remember who it was
) when he said -
The comic series is a more juvenile way to tell the story
Now he didn't mean it as a slam, the book is just so much more over the top that it does become too much at times.
For example, just one of the differences in the show is how Starlight was greeted at the 7 base. In the show, a character greets her, lies to her, convinces her to do something and yes it was a shitbag thing to do, but in the comic I remember it going very differently when three of the 7 greet her. The entire run of the book is similar to that. Just very over the top and pretty much a 15 year olds idea of a comic.
Now I say that with feeling that it was/is still a good series, I enjoyed it, even though I stopped reading around issue 20 (I think I remember Jimmy being very pissed about it, but I could be 100% wrong about that ... Oh, and by pissed I don't mean he was pissed that I read up to issue 20 ... hahaha
, no that is just my idiotic way of typing. I mean he was pissed about how the series was written and drawn. Again, IF i remember that correctly, it could have been ... oh damn ... the guy that left to go to Rotten Tomatoes I think it was? ).
ANYWAY ...
I will say that if you do read the series, you will be spoiling season 2 for yourself. I heard about something that happened and I am so mad that I didn't just wait to see how they handled that in the show first.
Yeah, loved the show. I think more than the comic
