Oh this is tough, and not really in a fun way. Pussyfoot 5 is a great team that should have been fun to read but was way too pedestrian to have come from John Smith.
Life Less Ordinary is a film I ADORE (hey it was in the cinema when I was 18 and had just started at Uni, it was basically written for whiny wannabe writers like me) - but the comics version just doesn't work, and that even with Yeowell working in his older style that I like a lot. It highlights just how much Danny Boyle brings to the films he directs, all the inventive angles and camera moves and music cues and such - things that can sometimes be achieved in comics, but not when written in something of a rush.
I think for me the problem is that the comic only has time to focus on the McGreogr/Diaz pairing, but the film works best when viewed from the point of view of the Lindo/Hunter angels pairing. The comic has no time to do anything other than check off the plot beats (and there's a lot of plot), and not enough room to wallow in the absurdity of the situations.
Anyway, after writing more words about the comics adaptation of ALLO than any other human being ever has, I'm voting for the bland but at least competent Pussyfoot 5. Hell, I'd actually be kinda thrilled if Ales Kot had a go at writing new space adventures for the team - bet he could have some outrageous fun.
