First episode


...Was amazing. I'm a comic fan, and know this property is well loved, but I'm not familiar with it personally. I'd like to hear what someone who has read this thought.

I didn't realize until now that it was based on a comic. I assumed it was made up for the show. For what it's worth, I'm 5 episodes in and I think it's great, though I know you're hoping to hear from someone who has read the story on which it's based.

I've managed to read till probably the middle of the series... Then got extremely bored because it brought nothing new to the table with regards to Hitman, Preacher and some other books by Ennis. The first episode was all right but seeing that seth rogen is involved I expect nothing good.

"Seeing that seth rogen is involved I expect nothing good."

My thoughts exactly but it looks like they benched him most of the time.
There're things I'm not happy with but all in all it's a pretty decent adaptation.

So, Future Man is not good enough for you? Are you serious?

Read the first few issues for yourself. They're available online.

I get headaches reading a backlit screen for very long, so I stick to books. These just got collected in 4 paperback omnibus, but only 2 are out. The rest by the end of the year. I'll get the set when it is all done for sure.

You're welcome.

From what I looked up about the show it's pretty different from the comic in terms of some of the characters and subplots.
