This is just one awesome series, and it's a comic book fans wet dream seeing these heroes hitting the TV screen. The action is bad ass, the stories are great, and the many homages and references to the original source material raises the fun factor for serious fans. If you're a fan of comics and haven't seen this series yet then you're missing out. It's also easy to get into for the casual fans too.
