Yep, more Chuck! What can I say, I love the show too damn much! This is one awesome comic book, written by Peter Johnson and Zev Borow and illustrated by Jeremy Haun and Phil Noto. I personally don’t read a lot of comic books, so I don’t really know what makes one great. I can tell you that I’m very happy with what I’ve read thus far. Issues #1-#6 are all in this paperback, which is absolutely awesome!

I can tell you that it has good humor, great art, and some great animated action/fighting sequences. The characters don’t look exactly like they do in the show but they look close enough for you to recognize who’s who (Morgan looks amazingly hilarious). Only thing this comic book doesn’t have that the TV show does is romance, and up to where I’ve read there’s no sign of it. It’s no big deal though. The characters seem to have the same personality as their TV counterparts and the witty dialog is close to that as well, which is a huge plus.
