I'm wondering whether the time jump will be handled as badly as in Live Another Day.

You should, just beware that at this point, they're very little alike.

More like a hundred pages (first four issues) but yeah.

in the comics.

Jesse has an imaginary guide that helps him through tough times.

There's a middle ground in there somewhere.

I hope you meant that last bit the other way around.

The first issue was 40 pages, actually. But yes, by just reading the first few pages, you'd already be beyond the show in terms of storyline.
