I've read a few the TWD graphic novel compendium, which puts me just after the events in Alexandria. Kirkman says that this season of WD will coincide with the comic more than any of the previous seasons.
I've noticed in the few that I've read how much more fleshed out the show's stories are than the comics - or at least they've chosen to flesh different parts of the story out than the comics have. Andrea is a very, very different character in the comics than in the show (I hated her on the show), and I'm only just in the part dealing with the Govenor.
That reminds me, though, that I need to check the next three or four volumes out of the library... I should do that today.
As for the series/miniseries debate, even with high ratings I can't see this being more than a miniseries. I mean, there is only so long you can stretch out a several-weeks-long story (unless you go the route of 24 and show every single hour of the progressing zombie apocalypse...) before it becomes just another post-apocalypse survival story like the current series.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
