First Episode VS First comic book

Although though the TV series, The Walking Dead, is based off the comic books there are many differences. In the comic book it shows right away how rick gets put in his coma while in the TV series it starts with rick running out of gas and in his search he encounters a little zombie girl in which he has to shoot and kill. Then it goes into him and deputy eating and talking about their lives and how rick and his marriage isn't doing that well. It shows how rick goes into his comic in a flash back. The way he gets put into his coma is exactly the same. He gets shot after a high speed chase comes to a stop.

 Next scene it shows rick waking up out of his coma. Very similar to the comic, it shows rick walking down the hospital hallways very confused and in a daze. In the show he is walking down the hallways when he see a door that reads: "DON'T OPEN/DEAD INSIDE". In the comic he accidentally stumbles upon that door and sees his real first encounter of zombies. There was a whole herd in there and one zombie jumps at him and they fall down the stairs and luckily the zombie snaps its neck on the way down. he gets away safely and then proceeds to find his way out.

 It then shows him walking down the street but in the TV show it shows him finding a military helicopter and a military convoy but they are empty and the comic does not show that. He then finds a bike so he picks it up and rides it to his house and finds nobody home. He gets hit on the head with a shovel mistaken for a zombie. he wakes up from his daze to his neighbors Morgan Jones and his son Duane. they apologize and they explain to him about the whole situation that happened while he was in his coma. rick explains how he wants to head to Atalanta to try to find his family. After they have dinner they go to the police department. They stock up on guns and rick gives Morgan a car to keep for himself while him and his son stay in their hometown. Rick proceeds to head to Atlanta after thanking them.

He is on his journey and when runs out of gas and he is walking for a while until he sees a horse on the side of the road. He saddles up and keeps on with his travel. He gets to Atlanta when he walks the horse into a herd of zombies and the horse quickly gets eaten. In the comic it shows him being saved by a young boy but in the TV show it shows him fighting them off and he crawls his way into a tank. He gets stuck in there when he hears a voice on the tanks radio asking if hes alright. That's how the episode ends Z.B.

  1. Well a comic book has a lot more in it then one episode, sometimes an entire story can be entailed in just one comic book, where as episodes take multiple to tell a story.
