What's wrong with the comic in your opinion? I kinda remember edited version of "G Force" (wasn't that with the robot Zark who talked thoughout the series so that the violent parts weren't shown?) I think the comic is obviously darker and a bit more true to the original show but of course I could be wrong. I'm not a super fan of the series so my information is limited.

Well according to the rumors Sandy Frank Entertainment wants this to be close to the original Japan versions with some new footage added. No 7-Zark-7 and very few if any edits.

There are some episodes of "Gatchaman" that were never translated into english when Sandy Frank released it as "Battle Of The Planets". Including the last four episodes due to violent content and the death of one of the main characters. (Joe, Jason, Dirk, whatever.)
