i got this book because i love the series and wanted to see how different it was.
i’m not one for reading comics but i did find this easier.
overall it’s pretty good but because it’s only the first one in the series i don’t want to make any assumptions

The Walking Dead is one of my favorite TV series. I have seen some of the seasons two or three times. It was time to read the original material.

While reading, I couldn't help but compare the graphic novel to the series. I knew some changes were made for TV, and I am glad for those. While the first volume itself is very entertaining, especially as a reader, the original material as it was presented wouldn't have worked for TV.

The main difference between these two is the characters. We all know that Daryl, as a character, is not in the comic books, so I kind of missed him. In the comics, the camp gang pretty much never goes to Atlanta except for Glenn, which is kind of crazy considering how they all just sent him, probably to his death, for toilet paper. Some secondary characters in the books are different from the series, but they all serve a similar purpose. Rick, Lori, and Carl are pretty much the same. I was surprised by how different Shane is in the books compared to his persona in the TV series. While on television, he was one of those characters who were made for this kind of world and knew how to survive. In the books, he strongly relied on the government and thought that the military would save him and the others. No wonder he met an early demise in the books (and I am glad that he lasted longer in the series, as well as I am glad that Carl only shot him as a walker). Dale, Andrea, and Amy are also pretty similar to the TV characters. However, it seems that Amy has a lot more character in the book, with some snarky remarks and attitude. Andrea is not as annoying as in the series, but it is only the first volume. Carol and Sophia exist in the books, but not their husband and father, who, I believe, provides great character development for Carol in the TV series. I guess I will see how it goes for her in the graphic novels since I really enjoyed her character.

Overall, I will continue reading the volumes, and I am exciting for Rick's journey in this world.

Being a huge fan of the show I felt it was time to finally read the original source material...

I have to say this first volume gives us a lot about what's happening and who's all there but I didn't feel like I was able to form any emotional attachments within this volume. Really not even Rick, who I LOVE on the show, was someone I found myself actually caring about in this first volume. I'm glad that the show was able to dig a bit deeper and flesh the characters out more...so within the first few episodes of the show, I got those emotional attachments.

Still looking forward to reading the rest of the volumes and seeing what all is different between the comic and the show.
