This week the Queer as Fact podcast did an episode of their Queer as Fiction sub-series reviewing "The Old Guard" movie.

As always, the hosts are delightful. Very recommended.

 I've made some notes about the differences between the movie and volume 1 of the comic!

Notes under the cut. These were things I noticed while reading; comment with things I've missed. Small differences that were equivalent -- e.g., the room in Sudan has a videocamera on a table, rather than surveillance cameras on the walls -- I didn't note. 

Movie and Comic comparison details by issue ).
.
Also, I grabbed a few fun screencaps while I was reading the comic: if any icon makers want to perform their magic on them, DM me and I'll get a ZIP file to you via GoogleDocs, Discord, or email.

So I own the comics already but haven't gotten around to reading them yet, and now the movie is available, so this might be the right place to ask: which first? Do I read the comics and then watch the movie, or the other way around? Opinions are appreciated. :D
