Walking Dead: Show vs Comic (Part 3)

Welcome back to Part 3, my human friends. Cheesy, I'm sorry. Here's the typical warning.

Spoilers for both the TV show if you're not caught up to season 4.8, and if you haven't read up to the comics. I won't spoil ANYTHING that happens after the point we're at.

Morgan, the first person Rick meets in the apocalypse, is, along with Glenn, the closest to their TV counterpart. Basically the only thing different is that when Rick finds him, he has a small town all set up with traps. Lennie James, the actor, is pretty much spot on with him.

It's been confirmed that Morgan will return in the back half of season 4 but I don't know for how many episodes. But since James' AMC show Low Winter Sun was cancelled (after season 4 wrapped filming), he may be back for a long while. Maybe.

Show and comic are equal.

Comics I read

I've been asked what comics I read, so assuming this gets read enough (probably not), I'll write about what pictures I read.

The Walking Dead



She doesn't come with it

The first time I read these bad boys was on the break season 2 had, so February 2012, caught up with where the comics are in about 4 days.

I was very much against reading comics in general because they simply seemed stupid. I expected there to be superpowers because all comic books have superpowers right? Nah, that turned out to be false. Within the first 20 pages I was hooked.

And we're back.

Walking Dead: Show vs Comic (Part 1)

Let's just put this out of the way, just because I like one thing more doesn't mean I dislike the other. I like both a lot. Now, since I've convinced you, let's get this started.

Characters



 

Shane is one of the few characters that TV show actually did better than the comics. If they followed the comics, Shane would've died season 1 finale or early season 2, but it was much better to keep him around for the farm, meet the Greene family and get everyone riled up basically. He even died the same way as the comics essentially. His sanity leaving him, he leads Rick out into the woods because he doesn't believe Rick is a good leader, and he's in love with Lori. BUT in the comics, Carl, following the two, shoots and kills Shane.
TV-Shane was one of my favourite characters so it was too bad to see him go but it made sense for the story.

Show did better.
