Just got this in physical and digital formats. I was really surprised at how much stuff is in this box. I have all the other starter sets and this one is a monster. Maps are gorgeous and the tokens are nice. Read over the content and it seems fun. What's interesting is that one of our DMs...
Its been a minute since I've seen the original TV series, but would say its comparable. Has backstory on the Mutants and I love what they have done with Snarf, making him less whiny and more important. The comic is teen rated so not too dark.

I'm glad you like them. I agree about the terrain. I'm thinking about changing the encounters to include both terrain and monster. The two of them together makes for a more memorable scene instead of just "a monster pops out at you"
