Awesome! That's what I thought. The first bit of it was so agonizing to read/watch unfold before my eyes. The amount of pain and hurt people endure in this story is truly brutal. In fact alot of this novel was really dealing with alot of heartache and how people go on in the midst of it all. Goldberg, Lesley; Real, Evan (June 20, 2018).

The problem with The Walking Dead is that it's boring and badly written. Nearly all of the characters are either shallow, plain or outright annoying, especially the women (except Andrea). Dialogue is awkward and clunky, riddled with cliches, worn phrases and forced exposition. It just sounds unnatural, which is *pretty* problematic for a comic that centers around conversations and social relations.You may think that in an insane world where men-eater zombies are everywhere, those would be your highest threat, but hardly, since there is a more deadly predator to men...

Andrea was pretty awesome in the comics and while I didn't mind her in the show, I can see that her character was done a huge disservice. On the other hand, Carol was vastly improved on in the show. Michonne was still just as badass in both but I felt glad that she didn't have to go through the same trauma. The Governor was on a whole other level of evil in the comics than the show. He has always been my most hated 'villain' in the show because although we were shown people that technically did worse or more insane things, I found him incredibly creepy and unnerving because he's the kind of manipulative bastard that I can't stand. The show gave him some episodes that seemed like they were trying to almost redeem him which I hated so I was so glad that the comics showed him as truly vile throughout. Some of the characters from the show don't exist in the comics and vice versa and while I missed the presence of some of the characters (Read: Daryl and Merle) I wasn't fussed about the exclusion of others. On the other hand, I could understand why they'd left out some of the characters from the comics as they really just felt like spare parts and extra bodies with no real purpose besides getting killed off. Maggie remained in the show but Hershel's other kids (there were 5 others besides Maggie) were condensed into the character of Beth, who I admit I wasn't the biggest fan of but I think having just her instead of trying to squeeze all the others into it made a lot more sense for the show.

The characters in this story make hard choices and sometimes do terrible things in the name of survival. But, with very few exceptions, there are few characters that we cannot truly come to understand and identify with. Their decisions and their reactions make them richer, more interesting, which is what truly makes for a fascinating and engaging story.
