I have never seen the Tiga comics; I will have to track them down. I am going to HeroesCon in a few weeks in Charlotte so I will see what I can see there.

Melba always was a cool looking monster, even if his name always elicited snickers from me.

The Fox Tiga was hard for me to watch. I mean that literally; I didn't have cable when it was airing so I had to go by over the air. In the apartment I was in when it first started airing, this was not a problem. But I moved midway through the show and I never seemed to catch it in the new apartment. Part of it also was that I was always out of town on the weekends, as well. I'd like to grab those DVDs but man, some of them are really pricey.

The jokiness of the show was grating but you got used to it; it reminded me of watching Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad back in the day, where I would either mute or tune out the dialogue and just watch the effects. In fact Tiga was better in that respect because it had the GUTS crew and not American inserts.
