The graphic novels have some differences. You can read a synopsis of each one here http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Storyline_(By_Issue)

The graphic novels handled the Neegan plot line much better IMO. For one, it didn't drag shit on forever. They didn't show them constantly humiliating Rick to the point of cuckville. For example they never even tried to confiscate his guns. Also, Morgan's Neegan is nothing like the comic book Neegan who is more animated (pun not intended) and lively and doesn't mosey along with that retarded lean. He also says "fuck" every other word but it's understandable why this is not the same on AMC. Yeah, it's pretty damn sorry when the pacing of a goddamn comic book is better than the pacing of a TV show since comics are notoriously slow.

There are VAST differences between the comics and the show. (example: Carol) as well as completely new characters and groups that are not in the comics (example: Daryl). I'd suggest you read the comics. Its well worth it.

I've read all of them. Volumes 1-21 were the best. After that it got boring.

What are these things called graphic novels? Is that some kind of PC terminology for comics? Anyway, the comics are good. At least until last summer when I just lost interest. But 1.6 kilometers better than the show which was only watchable for me until the end of Season 1.

Graphic novels follow a story whereas comic books are stand alone.

It's the opposite. Graphic Novels are standalone while comics are released on a rolling schedule in issues.

"A graphic novel is a book made up of comics content. Although the word "novel" normally refers to long fictional works, the term "graphic novel" is applied broadly and includes fiction, non-fiction, and anthologized work. It is distinguished from the term "comic book", which is used for comics periodicals."

That makes no sense. Aren't Japanese comic books always called comic books? I'm pretty sure they follow a story...most of the time.

Well then just Google the definition and leave us alone.

Why do you keep jumping into conversations yet asking others to leave you alone?

Because I loathe petty disagreements. That's why.

That's uncalled for. But still, are you sure you didn't get your answer backwards?

She's one of the TWD trolls and probably just trolling you. She knows the definition of a graphic novel is the other way around. Not that it really matters to the op. This thread is getting derailed.

To the op. I've read the comics. There are many big differences. But some overall arcs are similar. I thought the Negan story wasn't very good in the comics, but it's worse in the show if I'm honest.

Trust whatever information you have. I was only trying to help. Graphic novels or comic books. It really doesn't matter much at all since the person who asked the question stopped reading the comic books and has only seen season one of a show that is in it's seventh season. Why is he here?

Alas, I've watched enough of the show to know it went downhill quickly. But I still plan to catch up on the comic books sometime. You're not helping though, as after a 5-post tirade everyone trying to get acquainted with comic people terminology just became even more confused. Does that simple question really warrant drama of such scale?

Well then correct the erroneous information rather than trying to make me feel bad about helping someone. Whatever the term is, graphic novel or comic book, be a fan of either or both before you start asking irrelevant questions.

I certainly didn't expect it at first that it would take so much space to answer that question. But after all these posts I still see two conflicting versions of information here and one isn't making much sense. Would you care to help anyone looking by clarifying?

Sometimes researching yourself is best. Google the answer. Enough said.

You said you were helping people, so I've been listening. But I don't think after making all these posts and then telling the viewers to google themselves is really helping.

Oh well. I'm through discussing this.
