4
5	----
6	!!Provides examples of:
7	* AdaptationDistillation: The plot is greatly simplified, with many of the New York scenes (such as one where the Flock visits a fancy restaurant) excised completely.
8	* AdaptationDyeJob: In the original books Max was blonde ([[SeriesContinuityError or occasionally brunette]]) but here she is a redhead.
9	* AdaptationPersonalityChange:
10	** In the novels Fang has the [[InformedAttribute informed personality]] of being a stoic loner, but is depicted here as a friendly DeadpanSnarker.
11	** Max had a minor ''Girls Rule-Boys Drool'' type attitude - shown when she sees a group of boys picking on a girl - Ella, which is absent from the comic.
12	* AdaptationalContextChange: The Gasman’s name. In the book it was because he had an iffy digestive tract causing him to [[{{Gasshole}} fart a lot]], here it’s because he’s good with machinery- in particular explosives.
13	* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the books whilst Gazzy was capable of building bombs and various pyrotechnics, he otherwise came of as a typical 8-year old. Here in addition to having manual computer skills, he’s also been given an affinity with machinery and had his childishness severely downplayed.
14	* BlandNameProduct: In Issue #1, amongst the pile of stuffed animals in Angel’s room is an unnamed CaptainErsatz of a Franchise/{{Care Bear\|s}} can be seen but with a symbol on its forehead instead of its stomach.
15	* ComicBookAdaptation: Of ''Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment''.
16	* {{Cyborg}}: The Flock, unlike in the book series where their wings were the result of genetic-engineering, here their wings are now entirely mechanical, built into their spines and capable of folding inside their own bodies for space.
17	* {{Duck}}: This exchange in Issue #1:
18	--> Eraser swipes at Iggy.
19	--> '''Angel''': Iggy, Duck!
20	--> '''Iggy''': [[DeadpanSnarker Always thought I was more of a cardinal, personally]].
21	* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: In Issue #1, when Max enters Angel’s room a large pile of stuffed animals can be seen on the other side of the open door. A couple more can be seen on the floor in the next panel.
22	* TheNavigator: Iggy, who despite being blind, is described by Max as "a human compass" because he was genetically engineered with the power to know the exact location of where he is at any given time.
23	* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: The Erasers appear to have blue fur most of the time, but in some panels their fur is either black or grey.
24	* RedEyesTakeWarning: The Erasers - genetically engineered [[WolfMan wolf-men]] sent to capture the protagonists have glowing red eyes. Notably in close up panels, their eyeballs, irises and [[ExaggeratedTrope pupils]] are shown to be entirely red.
25	* ThirdEye: Ari is shown to have three eyes, in contrast to the rest of the Erasers who have the regular two eyes. This probably to mark his status as TheDragon to [[spoiler:Jeb]] whilst the rest of the Erasers are just nameless [[{{Mooks}} mooks]].
