I read the comics after watching the series and thought the show did a great job of staying faithful to the books while still introducing its own flair. Most of the story arcs are taken from the comics, but a lot of the characters are switched around. For example, in the show Rick is with Michonne, but in the books Rich is involved with Andrea! I can appreciate the small changes that makes the show its own, but I love when adaptations are faithful to the text--and The Walking Dead balances it in a great way!

Overall Thoughts: 



It's a pretty great read. It could have been an amazing read if the women weren't portrayed as incapable idiots 75% of the time.

After the ambiguous ending to the TV show for The Walking Dead, I couldn't help but want to see what would happen next. Sure, the TV show is different from the comic, I get that, but still there's so many similarities that I immediately started reading through the comic to see what might happen.

The Compendium #1 covers the first 48 issues of the comic - up until after the prison arc. Everything happens so fast compared to the show, that it took some getting used to. This was the first comic I've read, but I can say it was addictive from the start. Even re-reading parts I'd watched in the show and determining the small differences between the comic was a lot of fun.
