Line 6:
While most [[Zombie Apocalypse]] comic books focus on [[More Dakka]] and [[Improbable Fighting Skill]]s in order to showcase [[Big Damn Heroes]], ''[[The Walking Dead]]'' focuses more of its action on [[Survival Horror]] and the [[Drama Tropes|psychological and personal relationships]] which result from [[It Never Gets Any Easier|the stress of being constantly on guard]].
The writing seems to have taken a number of things from the ''[[The Zombie Survival Guide]]'' to heart, although the two works were published within a month of each other (''[[The Zombie Survival Guide]]'' predates). This seems to be a coincidence, as Kirkman has said he hasn't read it yet.{{when}}
There is also a [[Live Action Adaptation]] television series based on the comic; [[The Walking Dead (TV series)|it has its own page]]. There is also an episodic [[Adventure Game]] series by [[Telltale Games]] set in the same universe. [[The Walking Dead (video game)|It also has its own page.]] Kirkman has also co-written a planned trilogy of prequel novels to the series, the first one being ''[[The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor|Rise of the Governor]]''. The second, ''[[The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury|The Road to Woodbury]]'', is set for release in October 2012.
Line 141:
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Issue 48 may just be the whammiest episode of anything ever, essentially cutting almost all of the evolving plotlines dead in their tracks, and putting all of the rest on long-term hiatus, and killing off several major characters that the audience had come to take for granted would be the core cast in the long run.
* [[What Happened to Mommy?]]: Hershel, when we first meet him. {{spoiler|Harboring his zombie son eventually results in the deaths of two more of his kids. [[It Got Worse|And then...]]}}
**
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: After their introduction in issue #1, it's a ''long'' time before we see Morgan and Duane again.
* [[What Year Is This?]]: none of the protagonists know what the exact date is after a year of events. {{spoiler|The date is never mentioned by the residents of Woodbury, Christmas is approximated, and even the residents of the Alexandria Safe Zone have lost precise track of the date fourteen months after Z-Day. Digital watches did not survive the apocalypse.}}
