Default What is your favorite medium for the walking dead?

i.e. The comics, TV show, or telltales game.

Mine beyond all doubt is the game, this is because rather than watching Rick evolve in the comics or TV show, I see myself changing as I play through the eyes of lee.

I haven't read the comics yet, so I can't vote yet.
But between the TV series and the Telltale game, it's the game.

Also, as a side note, dose the story on the TV show feel forced to you?

The game all the way. Imo, the show is great, and the comics are horrible.

I never read the comics and started watching the TV series, which I'm a big fan of. But after completing the game by Telltale Games, I definitely vote for it. I just think that the experience of having such an interaction and doing your own choices is something that you'll miss in any other medium.

Never read the comics, only watched the television series and played the game, so I'll have to go with TellTale's game, far superior to the show.

The show makes dumb decisions, such as leaving cell gates open instead of locking them so that the walkers can't get passed by, just one example.

1- comic (it's the original) 2- the game (I became Lee) 3- the show (It's good but not 1&2 good.)

It could be just me but things don't seem to flow as well as the game.

Considering they just seem to be mostly copying the comic for the most part, and that the original stuff they do come up with just plain sucks or doesn't flow too well with things they could have/should have done from the comic, yeah, it feels forced...terribly so.

As for my vote, I have to say the Game just hit all the right spots.

I can't believe somebody said they hate the comic.
It's where the tv show came from, and also there were so many plot twists and turns that the book did so well, but were rushed in the TV show, ppl didn't even notice them.

The book is the best. The game is a close second... but the game is a lot more fun.

Compare the "conflict" between Michonne and the Governor from the TV show, and comic book.

Without spoiling anything, Michonne had a very good reason in the book.
In the TV show... I'm like, "I don't get it Michonne, do you even know why you're doing that?".

The game.

The TV show is ok, though it's less The Walking Dead and more People Arguing and Zombies sometimes show up.

The comic depresses the hell out of me.

The comics keep giving me a monthly story that while occasionally hits some boring parts, is quite good. The game was amazing, but now it's over and I really don't have high hopes that season 2 can beat it, and I just don't like the show(but there really isn't anything wrong with it, I just don't find it appealing for whatever reason).

  1. Comics
  2. Game
  3. TV series

It's really close between the comics and the game though. The TV show, while decent, doesn't even compare to the greatness that those two mediums exhibit.

2. Comics


3. TV show

The game was what introduced me to TWD world love the game, the characters, and the story.

The comics are great, I highly recommend people to read it. It shows many themes that could not be shown on TV and games.

The TV show though......... all I can say is that Lori is a bitch xD
