I love the TV show and am very disappointed that Fox canceled it after only 2 seasons. That's why I got this graphic novel. It came very recommended and the guys at my local shop described it as a very smart story. Well, I have to disagree. This is the most confusing book I ever read. Esp. the 1st part titled "chance meetings". During the whole story I wasn't able to tell who is who. If the charecter in the panel is actually Chance, or Tom or Earl. The 2nd part titled "Final cut" is a bit better. At least most of the time I knew who is who. Still there was too much soul searching. I prefer Chance as he is portrayed in the TV show and the other characters there over the unstable Chance & Tom of the comics.
