or that you found most interesting? Were there events you preferred the comics version of to the show version? What didn’t you like (especially if this is your first comic)

Anything in particular you are looking forward to the show to adapting in future seasons?

    One thing I think the show did better was the female cast, I noticed in the original comic most of the women don’t have a lot of agency early, they kind of revolve around the guys a lot, like most of Eve’s decisions are pretty much about Mark, like she dates Will to be closer to him and she ends up going to Africa cause she’s upset she can’t be with Mark too. Where in the show they ditch the Will and Eve romance, and they also just have her decide to leave on her own. Debbie has more agency early on, though I do wonder how it’s going to work later, cause in the comic the point was her going from a housewife to having her own life with Nolan being gone. Before that’s kind of dropped because she has to raise Oliver and then eventually just gets back with Nolan, so I do wonder how they’ll handle that.

    If I had some issues though it’d Mark and Nolan, which might be a hot take, I think they made Nolan too evil, to the point where he’s irredeemable than he is in the comic, which is make his eventual redemption even more, and it already was kinda off in the comic. Like he’s really aggressive and kind of a total nutcase even before beating up Mark, when in the comic he was pretty chill, and during their fight he also goes out of his way to kill people, when in the comic it was just collateral damage, which didn’t necessarily make it ok but ya know the train scene didn’t exist there. I also though Mark got the shit kicked out of him too much, don’t get me wrong he gets his shit kicked in a lot in the comic too but in the show it felt like he almost never really won, and having him get his ass kicked by Battle Beast and then immediately after getting the shit kicked out of him by his dad kinda lessened the impact, where in the comics, at least for the issues the show adapted he won most fights pretty easily until his dad.
