Would reading The Walking Dead comics ruin the show?

Posted by Krusty (aka krustylu) Nov 2 '11, 10:48

I want to get them for my gf for Christmas, she loves the show. She's worried that reading them would ruin the show a bit.

Responses:

Some stories are the same but most are different. To a larger point, it's a grim comic I would not recommend to anyone. - David Nov 2, 11:05 4
- they lost me during the - major spoilers - Beaker Nov 2, 11:06 3
  - I don't think I made it that far. I quit when the two guys tried to rape the boy. That's not entertainment. That's a writer being exploitive. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:17 2
    - but isn't that the nature of fiction to be exploitive (regardless of the threat) and I wasn't thirlled with it either. -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 11:21 1
      - No, it's the 24 style of serial where the purpose is to shock without purpose. That's why BSG is so far above. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:24
it might certainly tell you where they are going with certain characters and expose some major upcoming plot points and happenings -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 10:58 2
- (but the comic is far better than the show) -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 10:58 1
  - I guess I won't get them. Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:59
they are going different directions than the comic. But a lot of it is the same. -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 10:57 3
- hey, have you read the Strange Talent of Luthor Strode? Comicbook store guy here recommended, very good... -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 11:00 1
  - very strong. -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 11:08
- Good to know. Thank you. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:59
any more than the tedious dialogue and paper-thin characters already do? -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 2, 10:50
