I believe he means that hes missing the fact that it isn't on. Yup It wasn't worded right at all. Don't blame me.

Has anybody read "The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor"?
I just pre-ordered the paperback version from Amazon. I've heard mixed reviews.
Also watched a clip of the video game coming out next month made by Telltale. Looks pretty cool.

I absolutely loved it too, especially since I was familiar with the comics. Sure, Rick's group isn't in it, but it does have some tie ins. It's also cool to see what made The Governor into the monster he became, just why he went down that road. Great, great read.

Just getting into the comic series. Just got book one about a week ago and really like it. I have been wanting to get into the comic series for a while because of all the talk on here about how good it is and figured the time between season 2 and the 3 would be a great time to start. Was looking around Hasting's and saw that they had alot of the paper back volumes and was about to get 1 and 2 when my cousin saw the hardback book and I got it instead.
May check out the book after I get into the comic series more.

I think I'll be rereading the series in between seasons.

After watching the first season, I enjoy the comic series more. So far that is. I've heard the 2nd season is better though, so we'll see.

If you like the comic series more, you will probably continue to like the comic series more. At least, I would have to think so. I dunno where you heard the second season is better because I haven't read that anywhere. It's WAY too slow-paced compared to the first season.

Ill be honest, I've never, ever been a comic guy. It just didn't click with me. But I'm considering reading the comics because I'm digging the show so much. The only thing that's keeping me from doing so is I don't want to spoil the show.
So on a 1-10 scale (1 being none, 10 being exactly) how close has the show been to the books? And how many books are there?

And how many books are there? i'm not much of a reader in the first place, but after season 1 of the Walking Dead I fell in love with the show and the whole concept, I got Books 1 & 2 for my birthday last year and was hooked instantly, I have read all 7 books (anxiously awaiting book 8) and the Rise of the Governor (which I haven't started yet) and the comic is just awesome As for the scale of 1-10 how close are they? its hard to say to be honest, it seems like they take different twists and turns to get to things in the show whether it means speeding things up (Dale's death) or slowing things down (Shane's death), but it seems like in the end they'll get to most of the important stuff (still have my fingers crossed for a Tyrese appearance next season!)

Only the first half of Season 2 is slow, honestly. 18 Miles Out - Besides the Dying fire were four great episodes with a lot going on. (in my opinion, though I know some people weren't happy with the ending of Judge, Jury, and Executioner.)

And how many books are there? I'd say 4.5-5 is a fair estimate, all of the main characters are there in the comics except Daryl and T-Dog -- and they're relatively similar in personalities...but the order of deaths, the timing of deaths and the relationships (notably Dale/Andrea) have been the biggest differences thus far. I read the comics before the show started and it's similar enough that you relate to the characters -- but it's different enough you don't get bored between the two.

I would say Carol is QUITE different as well. Though the show does make a couple nods towards her character in the comic. I actually got ROTG a while back on audiobook for free from audible and have been slowing getting through it on my long drives. Very good and very interesting.

I would honestly give the show-comic ratio (or whatever) a 5.
Lots of characters and major story developments are featured and both, but lots of details are changed in the show. (Examples: Other characters like Daryl Dixon being in, Dale, Shane, Otis, Sophie)
And they never visited the CDC in the comics. (From what I remember. Pretty sure they visited Wiltshire Estates instead. The place that Shane and Andrea visited while looking for Sophie on 'Secrets')

No CDC in the comics. Had Allen and Donna and the twins instead of that other family whose name escapes me right now. I also think Herschels family is different as well. Also no T-Dogg. And Rick is more of a badass in the comics.

Yeah, I'd say it's fairly close to this point for all of the major story arc, but from where they are at for the beginning of season 3 (the start of book 2), it can't be that close because there are so many different characters. If you like the comic series more, you will probably continue to like the comic series more. At least, I would have to think so. I dunno where you heard the second season is better because I haven't read that anywhere. It's WAY too slow-paced compared to the first season. The first half of season 2 is a little slow, you must not have watched the second half. It was like the last three episodes that weren't slow, not the entire second half. The first episode after the break LITERALLY nothing happened.
