The comic is not entirely the same as the show, but the major things are the same or similar.
I have to say if the TV show follows up with what goes on in the comic there will be a lot of shocked/disgusted/excited viewers out there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I read the Compendium as well. A LOT of vile stuff goes on in that prison, but they would have to pick up a few more characters to make it happen like in the book.
I like the book and TV show about equal. One BIG plus for the show:Daryl Dixon. He's not in the book, at least the issues in the collection I read. Plus T-Dog will have to transform into the most serious bada$$, which may be hard since he's really been a throwaway character. The Govenor is wicked!!
I hope I have my 13-11 by the start, but my Rucki will do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
