That would be 13, as it begins the comic's third story arc.
Issue 12 melds in with tonight show (the last shot of that was them finding the prison), However, the comics are on a completely different timeline, and don't mesh up right with the show. There is a lot of different stuff going on, and stuff that is the same happens at different times. There are characters introduced in the show, that are not in the comic at this point.
There are 94 Issues of the comic out right now, so it arguably would be best to go back and read the first 12 Issues before trying to start, It is different enough, that is would be best to read those 12 beofre going forward.
I agree. There's various way that scene could have played out better. The one you suggested would have been acceptable alternative.
Carly needed to die. He was shaking like a 5 year old girl in his moms arms.
Basically, you'd want to leave Andreas fate as a cliffhanger. If you show just a sword thru the zombie, it'd be the same reaction as it is now. Everyone in the know, would go "Michonne!"
Issue number 12 is where the group first find the location that they are going to after the farm (which was hinted at during the very last scene of the finale), but before (I think) they meet the hooded samurai person.
Personally, though, just start from the beginning because some of the characters that have died in the show are still alive in the comics (and vice versa) and there are other characters in the comic that probably will never make an appearance in the show. Plus, it's only 12 extra issues to read out of just over 90 issues.

Lawl... headshots
-> Dude who doesn't have that much gun experience
-> With a fucking SHOTTY
-> From a car that is moving at a reasonable speed (more than 5mph)
-> On uneven ground
-> unlimited reloads
-> Contorted over the hood of the car like a goddamn driveby shooting from San Andreas???
I can't even do that shit in BF3 or other videogames. Fuck I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get 100/100 headshots in CS w/ no gun bobble. And I'm supposed to believe that this shit! I can turn off my brain for most of this show w.r.t retarded shit characters do; but somehow the shooting part broke my immersion. And I've never fired a gun in real life, ever. Weird.
I did like the anonymous members of the family getting eaten. "Oh yeah we didn't really write any lines for these guys... looks like redshirt time is here!".
Also, hilarious that the girl who cut herself in her suicide attempt survives. She didn't break down and give up when the horde eats her sister like I expected her to.
Also: BADASS SAMURAI SWORD CHARACTER. Reminded me of the beserker class from Killing Floor.

Read it from the beginning. Don't skip stuff.
I'm glad they didn't change Michonne's appearance much. It's one of the most memorable moments in the comic. The zombies will make sense soon.
Does it explain why someone can have a zombie pet that follows them around on a chain?
I read in an interview that they're going to change Michonne a bit from the comic. So barring any major changes she does explain it I think.
Read it from the beginning, the story is largely diffrent.

This is the excact book to get to catch up if you have not read the comics, as it contains Issues #1-#12
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1582406197/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It is the pretty much comic version of Season 1 and 2 (which is a different story, but ends on the same note)

These guys are good at headshots, DAYUM.
Alright gif experts, put a Bish face on Rick and then have the new thread button on the back of Hershel's head as he spins around. That would be amazing.
The first half was amazing overall, although Hershel using an infinite ammo cheat was a little lame. Also I'm glad we're moving on to new locations, the farm was wearing on me.
Minor spoiler
In the comic she says they stopped attacking her long ago, so they became docile over time kind of like an animal. More of a spoiler: But they don't really get into it because she kills them both almost immediately after being introduced.

Yes.
I thought this about the Michonne GIF. You can put bish's face on her, and then two more mods in the zombies.

The comic gets really dark and I have no faith that AMC will have the balls to go in certain directions. Also, certain things do not translate well to television. I'm fine with the sword, but the cloak was totally out of place.
The funny part is that the cloak wasn't in the comic. Her comic into was better because it shows why she has them with her.

Well, there's one really fucked up thing that happened in the comics that won't happen in Season 3 because of the lack of certain characters, so we'll see.
But I'm sure they'll push it as much as they want.

Was the actress known at the point of filming that scene? Was that even the actress under the cloak? I could see them opting for the cloak to hide the person face, in case they did not have the actress locked down at that pint, so as they would not get into the same mess up that happened with Penny from Lost.

Plus, cloaks are super mysterious so viewers will be excited for season 3.
So I just read the first issue of the comics and I gotta say... the TV series already looks way better and the writing in the comics is incredible cheesy, even more so than the worst offenses in the TV series.
I'm still gonna go through and read them all at this point though. Can't get enough Walking Dead. o_o

Great episode. Only thing I didn't like was Lori rejecting Rick's decision on Shane. Just a couple episodes ago she basically told Rick he'd have to kill Shane. After Dale's death she gave Shane another chance, despite it being clear he was on the edge; I understand that Dale's death made her care for everyone in the group more, but why tell Shane he might be the father considering she knew how Shane would react.
Just stupid writing. Her character is a mess.

That was a pretty underwhelming finale. Just so many inconsistancies all around and Lori is annoying as ever. Overall, I still enjoyed it though. Can't wait for the fall!
Ricktatorship is the best tatorship.
Ugh. Did they really need to make her a ninja? I'm assuming this was before she was cast or something. Otherwise they should have just gave her the same look from the comic because the show handled it corny as hell.
And what was up with her full-health-zelda-beam sword from far away.

Just read the first 20 issues of the comment thanks to a friend, I'm hooked. Can't wait to read more of them after work later.

What a shittastic finale. It was sooo badly done.
RV guy really didn't need to die; why the hell did he stop the car; he could have slowed it down but still just enough for rick+son to jump. DEAD. LOL
woman from the farm didn't need to die. They procrastinated in the face of that many zombie and I just lost it when she got bit and luna lovegood cried holding her hand. Bitches. leave the house and jump in the car. Oh we gotta leave now. Lets just hang around. Freaking idiots. When she got bit, it cracked me the fuck up. LOLOL
So poorly done the whole episode. There was lots they could do; like running zombies down with their cars but these people are flat out stupid. If they're going to light the barn + rick and carl could have yelled for help.
Stupid show. stupid people.
and LORI. Her face and reaction to the shane story? Fucking bitch is psycho. Die already.
I didn't enjoy the finale. It wasn't badass. It was just dumb. Hershel standing there wasting ammo. Them driving around wasting ammo. Also stupid
STUPID STUPID STUPID

Ok. Bye.
Are you sure it's the show that is stupid?

The only problem with rick's speech. They just heard a sound in the woods. Zombies? Instead of going to check it out, he monologues for a couple of minutes; quite angrily and loudly. Something should have jumped out and eaten someone.
It's a comic. Cut it some slack, like you would a video game.

rofl can someone walk me through this thought process?
'psh, zombies? i ain't driving this anymore'
coulda reversed. glenn and maggie did.
yup.
I felt like my IQ was dropping watching it.
100% agreed.
That excuse doesn't really fly. There are lots and lots of well-written, or even just competently written, comic books. Kirkman doesn't get a pass.
Yeah, I know. It's just that so many people bash the TV series for "horrible writing" that I was expecting some masterful shit from the comics, I suppose.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Carol and Lori need to go just pointless members of the cast on the show. Rick is a badass but he better not go in full dick mode. Pissed he didn't say We Are The Walking Dead. Very nice to see the prison in the final shot.
