Random 'The Walking Dead' TV Characters Who Are Most Different From Their Comic Book Counterparts (18 items)

• 

  (#5) Carl Grimes

  Comics Carl: After he has to shoot Shane and the loss of his mother and sister, Carl grows up pretty fast. His actions cause the Whisperers to attack Alexandria, resulting in the deaths of Rosita and Ezekiel. He falls for a teenaged girl from the Whisperers. Douglas Monroe accidentally shoots out Carl’s eye in the comics.

  TV Carl: Carl goes from being an overly protective little boy to a sort of serial killer. He’s grown up in this world and has seen and done a lot, most notably killing his mother. He nearly dies after being shot by Otis. As he hits his pre-teens, he doesn't rebel by banging up the family car or smoking pot. Instead, he decides to venture out and take on walkers while his dad bakes away on a couch in a fever dream. His reward is a much-deserved giant can of roof pudding. He connects with Enid, a girl his age who lost both of her parents. Ron accidentally shoots Carl’s eye out in a scuffle with Rick.

  (#11) Hershel Greene

  Comics Hershel: Hershel is the same man of faith and conflict as in the TV show, at first believing that a cure is coming, until a massive walker herd overtakes the farm. He dies on his knees when the Governor shoots him in the head.

  TV Hershel: Hershel is the moral center of the group as he was in the comics and still dies by the Governor’s hand, only he’s beheaded with Michonne’s katana as Rick and the crew watch in horror. The brilliant Scott Wilson was perfect to play the beloved character from the comic. Both the paper and TV deaths were met with shock.
• 

  (#6) Maggie Greene

  Comics Maggie: She and Glenn do meet at her dad’s farm and become as close as ever. Maggie and Glenn have a son they name Hershel and they adopt Sophia after Carol dies. After Glenn’s death, Maggie descends into grief but eventually emerges and becomes the leader of the Hilltop Community.  

  TV Maggie: Maggie and Glenn’s storyline is similar to the comics, until Glenn fake-dies and Maggie learns she's pregnant. Deanna sees Maggie’s leadership skills and she takes up a position as her right hand in Alexandria until Deanna becomes walker food. Maggie’s been an envoy to the Hilltop Community, so she might very well take on the role of leader.
• 

  (#12) Heath

  Comics Heath: Heath is more of a presence in the comics simply because the format allows it. He is with Denise and is a solid member of Alexandria. He loses a leg after Denise sacrifices herself to save him.

  TV Heath: Heath’s story has yet to evolve in any significant way. He may take on more of a role once the gang gets away from Negan. If they can get away from Negan, that is.
• 

  (#1) Michonne

  Comics Michonne: Michonne never fully drops her guard with anyone in the comics, with the exception of Ezekiel. Besides the trauma surrounding losing the people in her life, she's brutally raped and tortured by the Governor for days. She has all of the reasons in the world to do some pretty intense things to him including nail his manhood to the floor, sodomize him with a spoon, use said spoon to scoop out his eye, and chop off his arm. 

  TV Michonne: Michonne appears very much in the same way she did in the comics although TV Michonne is given a lot of the characteristics of Andrea from the comics. Michonne takes on the role of co-parenting Carl with Rick to a certain degree. And then she hooks up with Rick, giving rise to Richonne. She puts out the Governor's eye with her katana and later kills him with it, still letting him off pretty lightly from her comic counterpart.

  (#3) Daryl Dixon

  Comics Daryl: He's Tyreese. 

  TV Daryl: Hot as Georgia asphalt and moodier than Beyoncé’s hair in Lemonade.
