I read the comics when they first announced the show and I really liked them. I liked the first episode and the show looks pretty promising.
One thing about the show though, if you didn't read the comics it seems like it would of been pretty confusing as to what the hell was going on. They introduced a lot with very little explanation, which I like because we're not gonna have to sit through a bunch of slow episodes explaining what's happening but it might turn off a lot of people that didn't read the comic.
