THE WALKING DEAD Comic Is WAY Better Than The Show 

The comics was better simply for the fact of the overall story and characters within it. I recently finished the comics and this video makes me want to read them again!

Yeah less drama, no idiotic decisions, mostly better characters, better ending, better action, no bad CGI and no budget cuts.😂

I love the comic. Andrea is hands down one of my favorite fictional characters of all time and I hate how the show ruined her. She was basically the Daryl of the comics.

I’d absolutely love to see more comic reviews!

the comics were great but holy shit it got grimdark sometimes, the scene where the gouverneur kissed his own zombiedaughter on the mouth haunts me until this day

I have a funny memory involving both versions of this series. I was in high school back when we were waiting for part B of season 5 of the show and one of my teachers made the Terminus sign for out in the hall around Halloween. We started talking about the series one day just us two, and I mentioned how the comic was so different because at the time I liked both. They enthusiastically asked me if they should read the comics since they liked the show. I immediately thought of the Governor Arc and said "I don't recommend it, it has SA and a lot more messed up stuff." and their reply was "O-oh...."

My mom and I loved these comics. Realizing 6 months have past and a new volume was about to be released, it was great

I think more The Walking Dead comic book reviews would be great. Also what would be really cool is if once Invincible ends if that studio was able to animate The Walking Dead comic. The only problem is if the live action series overstays it's welcome (which some may argue it already has.) People might become so tired of the series that even if the comic tells a better story and there was an animated series that was a 1 to 1 adaptation people may just not care at that point. Carl is my favorite character from the comics. He's ok in the tv show but an absolute bad ass in the comic.

I must've read the comic like 2 or 3 times and just now realizing that bc Lori and (Judith) her newborn weren't shot in the head that they did in fact turn. Haunting.

"the source material is better then the adaptation"... what a brave statement that really has never been stated before, bravo! this is literally a rule of the universe 9/10.

Please do the other compendiums. I read the negan arc before it came out and was soooo excited to see it on tv. Jeffrey dean morgan did a fantastic job showcasing the unhinged charisma of negan.

I do like some overall elements better in the show, typically that has to do with actor performances or character arcs. Standout examples of Morgan, Carol, Daryl, Hershal, Glenn, etc. Nothing against their comic counterparts, I just find certain characters to have been enhanced by talented actors and plot changes. Though, typically, all of my praise dies away by the sixth season. The comics give a better feeling of mental decline and desperation for the characters. The grime (no pun intended) feels more pervasive, the physical decay of the old world, the human struggle, it's all focused better in the comic series. And all of the lows lend better towards the small glimpses of humanity and peace that are achieved by the survivors. All in all, it's the same classic story that happens with all the cool shit we like: The walking dead is a great series by a talented author that deserves more attention and a better adaption.

Better by far. I've completely lost interest of the show when they threw Chandler Riggs under the bus.

I also think the Telltale series of TWD was very very good as well 👍

Every time I'm reminded of twd it just makes me wish it had a more accurate adaptation. Kirkman really is just a fantastic writer.

I finished the comics a few months ago, it was great

I love both, obviously the show lacked in a lot of places and missed the mark more than once, but I love what they did with carol, I love andrew lincoln as rick and he is arguably one of the greatest live action tv show characters ever written, the shane vs rick arc although arguably on a weaker season overall it was still one of the most compelling and tragic stories I've ever watched on TV, not to mention Jon Bernthal as shane was AMAZING, Daryl being his completely own original character and Norman Reedus embodying him, at the end of the day there was a lot of dumb shit that made the live action show lesser quality, but it also brought us some of the most memorable, amazing tv moments I've ever seen.

I think something cool you do with this series is focus in on a particular character and talk in depth about the differences from comic to show, like Andrea, or Caroll

So glad my boy Ryan is doing walking dead. Literally my favorite comic book

Really liked your review Ryan! Have you ever watched David lynch's Twin peaks. if yes it would be nice if you can make a series analysis on the tv show

I literally just finished watching your video on rick grimes and his final episode and now I see a review of the comics, awesome!

You should totally cover invincible too! I love the way you covered the walking dead comics in this video

Public library has them all can even search all the libraries in town online to pull them all to one location to pick up later. Love it. They have almost every older comic run ive ever wanted to read

Also you could do in the future a twd comic issue cover tier list. So many good covers exists in this series man.

Please, keep reviewing this series! It's one of my old favorites and I would love to hear your further opinions on it.

Yes, please give us more reviews of the walking dead comic when you're done 👍🏾

Yes please absolutely finish reviewing the comics!

Oh yea definitely review the rest of the series, really enjoyed this video!!

Unexpected, but very good video ! Us WD fans could have told you that the comic is better since season 2 though haha

I’m down for more reviews of these

More TWD Comic reviews please! Plan on reading them soon...

They should definitely do a animated series based on the source material. And have a black and white adaptation

I have to 1st compendium & even re-read it after the TV show ended. Still need to obtain the other compendiums as well.

Please do the rest of the series! I remember reading this and attack on titan consistently when i was in high school and they were my favorites. So much better than the show and you’ll appreciate a lot of whats to come.

One thing you should do is lissten to funeral march while reading it makes it feel more depressing

Ryan if your doing western comics you gotta do cover The Crow comic. you won’t regret it!

Need more comic book reviews from Ryan

Yeah the walking dead comic was way better than the TV show,I was gutted when it ended as opposed to the TV show,the whisperer arc was a return to form for the show though,then it went downhill again 😬

Will this review series be a berserk style analysis series??

I'd love to see more folks reviewing The Walking Dead comics

For a second I thought you were going to rip into the show and I was impressed you had managed to keep it under 13 mins.

Very true. I read the whole thing so far and I loved it. RICK IS THE MAN

More reviews please! 🙏

Hmm i didn't know there was a comic book

Id love to see u review the rest of them please🤓

Heck yeah Ryan more comic reviews on TWD please :)

The Deluxe comics are awesome. I loved seeing it again in color

I love the show alot, i think they did alot of great things with the series. Up until S7 episode 1. Once that episode aired it started going downhill real quick. I love season 7s opening episode but everything after just. Idk i feel like they kinda gave up and started to milking the series for everything its worth. Which could have been fine if they were still going strong but they didnt. I think season 7 and 8 were good for binheing but for week to week it was aeful. Everything after there were only moments i liked a lot but the writing got so damn bad. The comics is definitely the only version of the show ill ever watch/read all the way thru ever again. I might watch the first 8 seasons with someone if they wanna blast through it but i aint continuing after that lol

I have read the entire walking dead comic and it is much much better than the show. I was really disappointed about how much they changed the governor on the show.

TWD without Rick would be like if Walter white suddenly disappearing in breaking bad.

This was great thanks! I’m here for more

I’ve been debating over getting the comics or watching the show, but 11 seasons of a 43 min episode tv show is like catching up to One Piece for me

This video was recommended to me by RU-vid along with other compelling videos like "10 Reasons why Water is Wet"

Fun fact: the season 1 opening is a reenactment of when it snows in Georgia

The comic is night and day better than the show, I would love a like for like animated adaptation the way Invincible on Prime did it, that would be perfect 👌 IN COLOUR THOUGH😅! As my only complaint about the comics, if I had to force one is that it was colourless, but that never ruined anything for me, it just would have been better in colour.

Never read the comic or seen the show, though I’ll always remember the hype behind the show. I would see endless ads for the episodes here.

Something I love about the comics is that the tell tale games are connect to the book! The game makes little nods and cameos that really build the world of the walking dead comic (unlike the show trying to become the next MCU by having a bunch of spin offs that frankly are failures since no one cares about them) You should do a review on the walking dead spin offs like Rick grimes 2000 and walking dead the Alien!

Like they always say, The Manga is better than the Anime

Going 16 episodes a season was too much, I'm not a huge comic book reader in general but The Walking Dead is amazing and the show is fun overall but the comics are superior on every level.

Plz do more reviews!

You might have convinced me to give it a read

Something I also never see mentioned about the walking dead is having a disabled main character, with how popular the tv show became im always disappointed they never had it happen in the show. The fact rick loses a hand and is like that for the whole comic is one of favourite things.

oh my if you have so much of a good story left to read i envy you! as someone who has been a lover of zombie fiction my entire life i can say the walking dead comic is one of the absolute high points of the medium, and well worth finishing if you liked it even remotely up to this point

Keeping up with comics when they were still being written so was so fun theorizing of what will happen next issue. I always prefer the comic over the show. I stopped watching the show after season 8 and don’t plan to go back to watch it.

I remember being super excited to read the comics, I purchased the first 3 and I was super into it during the first book. Super excited for the second one, I was shocked to see the the change of art style. I just couldn't get into it, the art style was unimmersive for me.

Wait until you get to the end, it blows that abomination of a tv show out of the water. They did Carl dirty.

Yes, more please and thank you.

Yes please more reviews

In the comic it takes place in Kentucky

Please cover more of it

They just need animated that follows the complete comic book or a complete reboot

Idk, the show still clears for me. Better characters, better dynamics, less unnecessary edginess, and better decisions.

I hope you continue to the end of the seires. The comic only gets better from there. It was such a great ride for the amazing telling. It's a shame how the tv series really pissed all over the source material

First couple.of seasons were so goated man

This video compels me to buy the comics.

Are you reading the comic online or physically?

I am a huge fan of both but i mostly prefer the show. Yeah, they extended certain storylines out WAY too long but with a few exceptions like Andrea and Carl, the characters in the show were so much better and fleshed out. This is because of the greatest person in The Walking Dead show: the casting director. Even when the storylines or drama or dialogue were a bit clunky, every last performance in the show was top notch. The cast really gave it their all. I understand why people prefer the novels, i understand why people prefer the show. They both have pros and cons, and both of them have far more pros than cons. And as a fan of both, i really love that for people that watched the show first or read the novels first, you can enjoy the other one and really be on the edge of your seat the whole time because of how many differences there are with only the broad strokes being the same. Also, the soundtrack in the TV show is phenomenal and really enhances the story. So now when i am reading the novels (Yeah, baby, Deluxe collection!) I hear the songs and soundtrack in my head.

Please more love the Twd comics

More reviews please

Bro mew berserk is out go get it!

Please more reviews

I had no idea this guy wrote Invincible

It would have been better if you'd used the colored version of the comic.

Lori and Dale were sooo much better in the comic.

I started reading it right at the begging but never finished. I think the tv show killed the hype for me...Maybe I should finish it now.

Hot take ig but if im being honest i liked the first two seasons of the show better then the first two chapters of the book, i think they end at around the same time

The comic is amazing!

More!

Hell yeah, TWD comic! 🙌

Read this as it was releasing almost every aspect is better then the show but that’s normally how it goes not enough budget or air time to really flesh out these Storys in a short run time

acrosst? ACROSST!?!?!

I'll be the first to say it, I could care less about the comics. If you love them thats awesome but I prefer the show

I started reading the comic during the farm season of the show(you know, nothing happened there, so...), the comic was extremely great and far superior to the show ALWAYS, BUT, the comic overextended its existence the same way the show did, it should have ended with All Out War(the "final battle" arc with Negan, I don't remember if thats the correct name, anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong), but it kept going... After that it was all downhill for me, everything felt so "unimportant" compared to Negan's "saga", like DBZ after the Cell Saga, imagine if Berserk keeps going after the Godhand are all dead... Oh and by the way, I stopped watching the show as soon as I started reading the comic

I remember reading the first volume at the library years ago. Seems worth checking out again

More videos please

The Governor's arc is even more fucked up if you read the novels. Originally he was a big coward and a big fuck up, unlike his younger brother Philip. Philip did the same shit in the novels that the Governor did in the comics. Philip almost even killed him because he wasn't able to protect Penny and let her die. The Governor started to act like his brother because he convinced himself that the world needs you to act like Philip in order to survive. At the same time, The Governor fights his real persona hiding underneath the new one, often feeling sick to his stomach and crying while trying to maintain the Philip persona. Comic doesn't show that until the last issue where he really gets scared and let's the Brian (the Governor's real name) come out.

please, PLEASE, continue with it

Just do the review. It's really good all the way around

More Zombies!!
