Nor resolve my ambivalence about whether I like comics.
I agree with the sentiment about Tyreese, though. On the show he's kind of a weenie.
Also, I like Andrea in the comics WAAAAAAAY more than on the show. On the show I was waiting for her to die because she was so annoying and selfish, but while I like Andrea more in the comics, I feel like I knew Andrea on the show better - she felt like she was more fleshed out as a character whereas I feel like all I know about Comic-Andrea is that she's a good shot, likes to sew, and is in a relationship with Dale...
Also, I think Michonne was also more developed on the show.
But, again, I don't know if this is an artifact of just how comics are, an artifact of where I am in the comics (I'm starting Volume 10 and there's 100+), or what.
I'll have to check it out. (Despite current events pointing to the contrary, I'm not actually all that into zombies.)
I personally like zombies as way to use the stories to explore humanity like 28 days later or the walking dead comics. You will see many of the characters get more fleshed out though
The characters drew me in and kept me reading. Incidentally, that was also the first time I'd ever read a story that didn't have a happy ending. Wtf?
