My opinions a bit different. I’m loving the comic so far and I’m only a bit ahead of where the show is now. But I think the show is doing almost everything better. The scene they describe from the comic was cool but you’re right it’s not really necessary. The biggest differences were how Mark reacted to seeing Nolan again. It felt much more realistic in the show to how he should react. I’m also liking the Donald story line better in the show so far. The characters of Debbie, Amber and William are overall better in the show too imo.

Still loving the comic cause like I said it’s really not deviating too much.

Get a library card and download the hoopla app they are all on there for free if you log in using your library card.

I just finished compendium 1 a few days ago and I honestly think the show did a much better job of showing Marks reaction to seeing Nolan again. I actually think the show is making pretty much all good decisions when it comes to the changes made so far. I’m loving the comic though mind you!

Personally I’ve loved every episode so far this one included but this is a good way of looking at it. It’s the opposite of shows like Dragon Ball Z where each baddie has his own saga of episodes before moving on to the next more powerful enemy.

I think what you pointed out is part of what I love about the show so much. The world feels full and active at all times.

Thanks for teaching me the word leitmotif!
