Man, I must be like the only person on the planet who likes the show more than the comic. I mean, I could totally agree with the sentiment in the show's early years, but I felt the show took a significant jump in quality in season 4, while the comic got lost somewhere in the 80s and resorted to shock value and gore to keep people interested. But, hey, different strokes for different folks.
Also, I totally agree on the game. I'm not much of a gamer, but I watched my brother play through it and it looked fantastic.
