It's amazing to me that they wrote season 1 of the TV show based only on 1-2 issues of this.
Having only watched the TV show until now, I didn't know what to expect and was concerned I might be just re-reading the show. Jessica is different to her portrayal in the show, which is to be expected, but I enjoyed it. Cameos from other Marvel characters make this a lot of fun to read and something I wish they could do more in the show.
I read this as "homework" for Do By Friday and I'm so glad I did. The story is creepy as hell and I couldn't put it down.
I agree with CGP Grey; this should absolutely be required reading in school.
The story is a bit hectic to follow but it's still interesting. It's based on the game episode of the same name so I'll give them a pass.
Fills in the blanks between Biff getting the Almanac and the alternate 1985 with an amazing story. There's even a nod to the refrigerator from the original script.
There is a lot of back story in these as well as plenty of stories about what happened after Marty came back for the last time. The stories feel like a genuine part of the universe and not just a cheap money-grab.
I like the idea that Doc spent the time after Marty went back to the future trying to make sure everything stayed as it should so he would be able to "meet" Marty for real.
