I would guess that adapting the story to the big screen will involve a lot of compromises – in particular, the careful arrangement of panels on the page tied to the dialogue and pacing will probably be lost in the movie. Some of it could be better – there’s a number of visual arrangements in the comic that might be easier to do in the movies – but I suspect a lot of it will just get snipped. We may also lose chunks of backstory, which is a shame.

Still, I’ll be motivated to find a babysitter and take Susan next March!
