Can you provide any other insight on why they have departed from the storyline of the comic books in other areas as well?!The facts are that everything after Atlanta and Shane still being alive is a complete departure from the comic books. For you to say that they had to tear Shane down before he was killed means the whole storyline in the comic books is wrong. The comic books should have torn Shane down to make it more appealling/appeasing to the readers for Shane to die since he was not painted in as a bad light beforehand. However, that didn't happen. Rick showed back up, Shane didn't like it, they got into a fight in the woods and Carl capped Shane. There was no tearing down of Shane before his death. The fact is they could have played it exactly like the comics did and used Carl's love and need to protect his dad as the reason he shot him. The tv show probably would not be as well received if it was just a rinse and repeat of the comic books. You want to know what happens, then read the books. Not following the story exactly as the comic books makes it more interesting. The Shane part is just one of the many ways the tv show has been different.In some ways, I enjoy the tv show being different. In other ways, I wish they would have just added more details into the storyline to build the characters and follow the storyline of the comic books. I will say the last couple of episodes have been very good and hope they continue on this path.</blockquote>
