Heh, I guess it really does depend on what you experienced first. I saw the series long before and I hated Adam Warren's comic, and how he like to draw them like they were about to fall out of their outfits. The show is very tame and dare I say wholesome, which the comic definitely was not. I also just thought Adam was terrible at drawing.
I've seen it said the comic was more inspired by the original novels or whatever that source material was. As far as writing goes, I have no idea, but in terms of art it definitely was not.
