I'm a fan of the comics and loved the show.
I'm not gonna spoil anything just list a couple differences:
- In the comics The Deep is basically just a background character who doesn't really get any development and is basically just there for the rest of the Seven to make fun of how useless he is.
- Queen Maeve is much more jaded in the comics, she basically spends the entire comic drunk, ****ing random nameless men and being basically numb to everything.
- Translucent was invented for the show. He takes the place of the comic character Jack from Jupiter, who is a Martian Manhunter/Shazam type of character.
- In general all the heroes are much more sympathetic than their comic counterparts.
The show moves very fast compared to the comics:
The cliffhanger at the end of episode 8 is completely different then the events in the comics, it basically doesn't happen. Comic spoilers (doesn't spoil the show):
The airplane incident is also very different in the comics. Comic spoilers:
