Been reading the comic series since it began in 2003. They strayed from the comic book storyline. I had a hard time getting into the characters because of preconceived notions. I see the two as seperate now and enjoy them both. It's more about human survival than zombies as the story unfolds. People are worse enemies than zombies. One thing that's pretty close to the comic is that none of the core characters are spared. People get killed off left and right and that keeps the show unpredictable. Dale and Sophia were suposed to die much later in the storyline and they kept Shane around a lot longer than in the comic. Also, Ricks son, Carl, killed Shane as a normal, non zombie, human being. Another thing that's not clear on the show is how/why people turn zombie. In the comic it's shown that everyone who dies, zombie bitten or not, returns from the dead unless decapitated or shot in the head. I recommend everyone who likes the show to read the comic also.
