Skip the comics, just enjoy the TV show. All plot, characterization, and other issues were fixed by the TV show.

I like the comics better than the TV show. It flows so well and the detail is amazing - everything that happens in the background.
The feel of the book is nice too, it has a nice weight to it.
The characters are awesome. The dialogue is witty. I want there to be more!

Wendy Watson is a typical struggling artist when a close call with a disaster of comic book proportions brings her to the attention of The Middleman, who ropes her into being his assistant and Middleman in training. Clever writing and bizarre situations ensue.
This came to my attention thanks to the woefully short-lived tv series. I actually like the series better than the comics, but both are a fun ride.

This was way more charming than I remembered from my first reading several years ago. I really enjoyed the sharp humour and silliness (one thing that stands out for me in particular is in the scene with all the luchadores, which also includes Wally/Waldo and Fozzie Bear in the crowd).
I didn't like the alternate ending or the Middleman-through-the-ages snippets at the end, which maybe soured the overall experience for me the first time around. The comics themselves are delightful.
