In this week's episode of The Walking Dead, Shane finally died. If you've read the comics, you'd know that he died early on but in a slightly different way. Here it is for comparison:
















Which do you prefer? Personally I think the comic's take is superior.

Well, I will say that the dialogue in the show is DEFINITELY better. Kirkman has kind-of a...comic-book-y language that kinda sticks out in a human drama like Walking Dead. I also wonder if the people in the comic are a lot more nicer and without conflict then they might be in real life, and the show definitely has more of that.

Yes, the dialogue is definiely what makes it for me. That and how much the show focuses on character interactions. I've found myself really attacched to some of the characters on the show.

"Nicer and without conflict?"

...have we been reading the same series here?!

Well, slightly less conflict. At least in terms of the point they're at in the show.

Agreed about the dialogue - while I don't think the show dialogue is GREAT, it's certainly not as stilted as the comic book's.

The comic is better at plot progression, though. The show saps a lot of the drama and tension from the majority of its plotlines by letting them drag on for so long.
