We examine 7 of the most obvious differences.
The Walking DeadSeason 3 sped through the equivalent of four graphic novels worth of story.
In the comic, the prisoners, one in particular, played a more vital role.
These four ended up testing the morality of the comic survivors like nothing else they encountered before.
Axel is very similar to how he is portrayed in the show.
Thomas was a mousy little man who claimed he was in prison for white collar crime.
An edict he ignores by murdering Dexter.
Lori lives…for a little while, anyway!
The most shocking and poignant moment from season 3 was Loris death during the birth of her child.
Loris survival in the comics changes the entire dynamic of Rick, Carl, and the others.
While Rick is at Woodbury struggling with the Governor he uses Lori as motivation to survive.
Rick is driven in the comic, but not haunted by a failure to protect his wife.
She witnessed the Governors vacillation between magnanimous savior and cruel despot.
In the comic, Andrea does not go near Woodbury.
Thats right; Dale is still alive and experiencing Andrea in a biblical way.
Andrea never journeys to Woodbury, so she never finds herself tied to a chair to become zombie bait.
Seriously girl, how long does it take to pick up a screwdriver?
The Governor is More Redneck Less Hitler
TVs Governor is a complex villain.
A viewer canalmostunderstand why he is the way he is.
He lost his daughter, his home, and any sense of community or security he once had.
His humanity has been shed almost like an evolutionary imperative to survive the new world.
The comic Governor is every bit the villain but not nearly as nuanced.
He gleefully cuts off Ricks hand, and takes, kills, or fucks whatever he wants.
The TV Governorthreatensto rape Maggie, the comic Governoractuallyrapes Michonne.
He is fictions most vile fight promoter, a cross between Vince McMahon and Major Bludd.
