Oh God, I've got the trolls against me. I should quickly make fun of Cassel and Pioli to get them on my side.
The Walking Dead is the first comic I have read (and I glanced at best) since I was 8 and I read X-Men.
When I watched the show, I wanted to get an idea of what the hell this whole thing was about. If you find the show interesting, what's wrong with checking out the comic books?
I think that Kirkman has done a fantastic job with keeping the two separate and entertaining in their own way. Neither one is identical to the other, yet they're both captivating.
I am one of those people who wants to understand what the hell I'm watching. When True Grit came out, I wanted to see the original. The same goes for Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
When it comes to movies based on comic book characters (hence, Spiderman or Batman, X-Men, etc, etc) -- I think it makes sense to have some knowledge of the character before watching the movie. Otherwise, you're just uninformed.
At what point did it become lame to have knowledge about things that you find interesting?
