I’m loving the streamlining of everything and overall faster pace compared to the comics. The Debbie stuff is phenomenal, big fan of her being involved in the investigation and confronting Nolan way earlier as opposed to the alcoholism that consumes her for so long in the comics until she picks up real estate. This as well as not having Rick missing for almost a year with Mark not looking for him was a welcome change for me.

Love that Kirkman is so involved and basically gets to polish up and make his ideal version of Invincible with almost 20 years of hindsight. Really hope the show goes on for a long time and gets the proper budget needed for some of those later arcs.

I'm hoping the Debbie stuff is a hint at the show nixing a lot of Debbie being a drunken mess following Nolan's betrayal.

She basically became a non-entity for a good chunk of the comic until Oliver went to Earth with Mark.

Agree 100% they’ve already handled Debbie so much better than her early days of the comic. It took her a while to even get the idea to get her real estate license whereas in the show she’s already working when it begins. The alcoholism already seems like it’s seeping into the show which is fine and understandable considering what happens
