I was curious to see how different the netflix series progresses versus its manga. That I completely forgot some of what happened and why I stopped watching in in the beginning lol.Tbh, this is just not my cup of tea of a series but I enjoyed the illustrations. By the 30% mark, I gave up on reading the text and mainly focused on the visuals.

I am so confused as to what I just read. They gave me answers to questions I didn’t have and what I did want to know was always completely ignored. It’s hard to not compare it to the show, they are obviously separate entities but how did they do that from this?? Their powers make no sense (they don’t in the show either but they at least try give some explanation) and we’re really just glossing over the fact that a character is introduced as a literal Alien on page 6???? What?
If there was more time for the ideas to be fleshed out and properly explained, it would make a fun story, just like the show proved but Apocalypse Suite was just… not it.

I liked the art, but the storytelling was all over the place and the characters were very flat.
I would have been so confused if I hadn't watched the Netflix series - this is one of the rare instances were the adaptation is better than the original.

I had a fun time, but I feel like if I hadn't already watched the tv show, I would have been lost because everything happens so fast and there's no time to really know the characters.

Honestly, I really preferred the show over this. While I tried looking at this as just a book, I couldn't help but subconsciously compare the two. The book felt a little rushed and none of the characters really felt like characters. I get that they're supposed to be superheroes and they're not supposed to be entirely realistic, but they all felt very one-dimensional.

They're mentions of past child neglect/abuse, but it's barely mentioned or shown. There's a character who makes a comment about getting out a rehab. The art can get pretty bloody and graphic at times.
