There are fans on the RoamersandLurkers.com Walking Dead forum who have expressed the opinion that people who haven't read the comics are "bandwagon" fans; one can only be a true fan of the show if they have read the comics. On the other hand, having seen the show before reading the comics left me feeling that the comics were shallow, without any real depth to them, and poorly drawn to boot.
I read the comics\graphic novel before the series came out. The art was\is...ok..at times. I didn't have a problem with the background\environment, but the faces of the chars tend to blur with another at some points.
Both have their quirks and qualities, though frankly after the latest book, my suspension of disbelief is done broke. I was willing to give a lot, a looot of leeway in the service of 'how far of a savagery downgrade will a once civilized, lawman go in a zombie apoc world, moral vs survival etc'.
And it was quite a harrowing read. Until a particular event happened that just made me go, nope. You're having me on. GTFOutta here Mr. Writer Guy. Check please.
The TV series, is starting to do the same to me but for different reasons.
TL, DR: The best iteration of 'The Walking Dead' IMO, is this:
