Good to hear the Lensman series is coming back. I've never heard of Resnick or Willis so I can't compare it to the Doc's works.

The best description is "over the top" space opera pulp with very out of date science. They use bigger tubes to get more power and punch-card computers. Plus lots of telepathy and elder races. You really have to read it to understand.

Babylon 5 derives much of it's long-term plot from the Lensman series.
