The Walking Dead: 10 Big Differences Between The Comics & TV Show

2. Tyreese Is Totally Different

Hoo boy, did Tyreese get a raw deal in the comics. Far more intense than his TV incarnation wound up being, besides a tumultuous relationship with Carol €“ which ends after a dalliance with Michonne, who's far less enigmatic and far more promiscuous €“ he manages to also be far more integral to the main cast, essentially acting as Shane's replacement as Rick's new (and slightly less unhinged) right hand man. Things go downhill when his daughter Julie and her boyfriend Chris enter into a suicide pact at The Prison, following one last shag. Unfortunately Chris mucks it up and shoots Julie first, instead of doing it at the same time, killing her. Tyreese finds him, kills him, and is never quite the same since. Eventually Tyreese meets his end at the hands of The Governor, which too is very different from his fate on the TV show. The character still had a pretty tragic past in the AMC series and plenty troubled, but it never got quite as involved or traumatic as it did in the comics. He was mostly a large, quiet presence who died in the mid-season premiere this year, bitten by a zombie whilst investigating a new outpost.
