This was a great cartoon. I remember getting up early on the weekend to catch this show. It really did well to get me into the comic books. I started buying them every chance I got.
I recently saw it on cable again and realized something: this show had some bad decisions on voice actors. The only really well cast parts were Marlowe, Spartan, Void, Zealot, and Helspont. However, Maul sounds like a big black guy when he gets large, but he is a white guy normally. Grifter sounds like a little guy trying to force a bad gruff voice. Voodoo sounds like a screechy little girl. Pike sounds like a well mannered white guy, but is supposed to be black. Choices like these didn't bother me as a kid, but now they seem odd. Maul should have been played by a gruff voiced guy like Ron Perlman. Grifter by anyone that actually sounds like a a gruff person and not someone just doing it for show. Voodoo would have been voiced well by someone with a more seductive voice (children's show I know, but in the comic she's a stripper). Pike should have been voiced by someone like Keith David (Goliath, Spawn). It's kind of distracting after having not seen the show for so long to go bad and hear the voices are wrong.
But, all in all, this was a great show that worked well and translated the comic well.
