Julie and Chris’s Demise Pact
Each The Walking Dead comic and the present featured a “Jail Arc,” the place the primary characters tried to determine a neighborhood in an deserted jail. Nonetheless, the comedian included one story arc inside that time period that the TV present did not: Julie and Chris’s dying pact.

Carol’s Insanity-Induced Demise
In AMC’s The Strolling Lifeless, Carol advanced into some of the badass characters following her introduction as a largely timid and closed-off particular person because of the abuse she suffered from her husband. Sadly, Carol by no means bought the possibility to develop past her trauma within the comics.

The Jail Arc’s Serial Killer
Thomas Richards was a prisoner earlier than the outbreak, making him a ‘baked-in’ resident of the brand new neighborhood that Rick and the gang tried to determine. He stated he was in jail for a white collar crime, however in truth, Thomas was a serial killer who would homicide Hershel’s twin daughters.
AMC’s The Strolling Lifeless determined to skip this specific sub-plot, opting to disregard the existence of a serial killer lurking amid the zombie apocalypse, assuredly as a result of Thomas Richards and his repugnant actions had been just too darkish for the present.

Abraham’s Stunning Demise
Whereas AMC’s The Strolling Lifeless selected to lump Abraham’s demise with that of Glenn by the brutal hand of Negan, his comedian ebook dying is arguably a lot worse. Within the comics, Abraham will get shot behind the top and thru one in every of his eyes with an arrow.
What makes Abraham’s comedian ebook dying a lot extra brutal than his live-action one is that he would not even notice he is been shot when it occurs. Abraham retains speaking to Eugene as if nothing occurred, regardless of his horrific, deadly wound, making the scene that rather more brutal.

Nonetheless, because the present progressed, Father Gabriel ultimately discovered redemption by way of braveness and heroism. Within the comics, nevertheless, Father Gabriel was denied that likelihood for redemption in actually brutal style.
Father Gabriel’s destiny within the comics is humiliating. He falls off a water tower, will get caught hanging the wrong way up on the ladder, and is ultimately torn aside by a horde of zombies. No badass redemption for him within the comics, only a brutally embarrassing dying.

Within the Mini-Bites comedian (a comedic extension of The Strolling Lifeless present in The Strolling Lifeless Deluxe comics), Shiva pulls off the most brutal zombie kill of her Walking Dead career: biting off a male zombie’s genitals.
Since Walkers cannot actually really feel ache, this killing seemed rather a lot worse than it truly was. Nonetheless, that visible alone is unquestionably too brutal to be proven on TV, which is why it exists solely in The Strolling Lifeless comedian books.

The Demise of Rick Grimes
Not like the TV collection, Rick Grimes would not make it to the tip of the story within the comedian ebook collection. As an alternative, he was shot to dying in his mattress by a petulant man-child who did not like how Rick turned the totalitarian neighborhood over which his mom dominated right into a democracy.
Whereas this dying is not essentially too brutal to be proven on TV (as persons are killed on a regular basis on the present), it’s too daring. Rick is the primary character of The Strolling Lifeless, so killing him off can be a controversial transfer that the TV franchise did not wish to deal with.
