Some of “The Walking Dead” Characters Had Very Different Fates in the Comics
Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead” comic series has been running for a long time. As a result, a lot of the story we’re seeing in AMC’s TV series has already happened in the comics, leaving us to wonder if the show will go down the same path or, as it has done in the past, go a new route that defies the comic’s storyline and ushers in a new path. Of the times it has done this, some have been highly received while others were met with incredulity and anger. For example, Andrea’s fate in season 3 shocked viewers who read the comic, mainly because Andrea is still alive and well and felt like a totally different character.
But what about other characters? What about Dale or Abraham or even Rick? What about Glenn? Those of us who have read the comics are entering the 7th season with the knowledge of what happens there and, as such, we have our own suspicions. Will the show follow the path of the comics or will it do something else?
Below is a short infographic that explains the differences in fates and outcomes of several of the characters from “The Walking Dead” from their comic to TV incarnations. As you’ll see, some changes are rather drastic while some still have a chance to occur. We’ll just have to wait and see!
Be warned that there are potential spoilers, so shamble forward at your own peril!

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
