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?

    omni-man is way more sadistic and brutal in the cartoon than in the comic. yeah, he kills the guardians and beats up Mark in both, but they’re much less bloody and vicious in the comic. and then during the big fight between him and Mark at the end, in the comic, innocents are dying offscreen as collateral damage. but in the cartoon, we watch as he messily, deliberately kills people. i kind of understand - you want to make something as big and gory as possible for the spectacle for your tv show - but it does seem like it’s going to be a big hurdle for selling his redemption arc later.

      I was so shocked they even tried in the books. I remember when that started becoming clear that’s where we were going I did not believe I would ever buy into it

      and while I certainly understand your point, what he did in and of itself in the books was so heinous I was ready to never forgive him and I don’t think I ever really did. I accepted giving him a second chance, but I would’ve been like the rest of earth. Probably better if you stay up on the moon there buddy.
