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.

According to the writer (who is also the creator of the comic/book) he didnt want to follow the books that close as everyone would know what to expect and where. He said if they die in the book they will amost certianly die in the show, but when and how is any ones guess. They are trying to keep it fresh so no one can predict what will happen next.
