The Walking Dead comic
I've heard good things about it. Is this the "official" canon, or is it something else?
Also, I wanna buy all of 'em, what sites do you suggest? Amazon, eBay, etc?

The games don't even match.
From the perspective of reading and enjoying the series--buy the trade paper backs---they collect six issues in one book and costs about $8 each. Go to an online comic retailer like mailordercomics.com and get them at a discount. You can also get the more expensive hard cover omnibuses that collect more issues.
I'm going to look all over the Internet for some copies of the volumes or issues. I've found many sites already who sell them at a discounted price or full price. I've heard that the comics are way better than the TV series also.
In terms of canon:
Comics>VG> TV series
plus she is in a novel not just the comics.
Pirate Bay is illegal. Not that I'm a saint, but when something is this good and you get this much enjoyment out of it, pay the creator. They deserve it.
Lilly has a small, but pivotal, role in the comics. It's entirely possible to miss her if you're not watching for her. Actually, most of her personality comes from the game.
Turst us on this. Dont ask, read it. Trust us
Yes its the same one.
does it ever, I swear its as if she went straight from that RV in our game right to the comics
She went through the book and then to the comic book. The long to redemption is not that short
And everyone is right. Things get real dark, real fast.
Also, I never really thought I'd warm to the black and white art style but it just fits together flawlessly. I'm really enjoying them!
was speaking in terms of her temperment
Get them from the library, because it makes no sense to pay all that money if your only going to read them once.
But make sure you know what you're getting into before you jump in. The characters in the Walking Dead comic are stupider and far more annoying then the characters in the Walking Dead game IMHO. If you ever played a RE game, have common sense, and can't stand the absence of basic common sense- this might not be for you. In my opinion Kirkman believes everyone is stupid and idiotic in a ZA and that humans can barely survive, let alone function in one without being some helpless boob. If this doesn't matter to you have fun, otherwise don't bother.
Finally, if you like manga and or want a good/fresh zombie story I suggest you check this series:
APOCALYPSE NO TORIDE

except for Carol, most of those deaths seemed pretty likely to me
EDIT:
Also, just wanted to add on that I believe the comics are FANTASTIC. I started off watching the show, didn't like it, and then stumbled across the comics online... Wonderfully dark. I think it's realistic (save for a couple of things that happens to Rick- but of course the main character has to survive), and it shows that ultimately humans are by far more dangerous than zombies.
^This. i bought he first compendium on Amazon for like $35 and its issues 1-48 well worth the money. speaking of which i need to get back to reading it im only like 20 pages in.
Maybe because in The Walking Dead universe no one knows what a Zombie is as films like Dawn of The Dead where never made. If a world were no Zombie Lore exists then yer they are not going to know what to do. It is obvious. Kirkman even stated this himself that no Zombie movies were ever made in TWD Universe so no one knew what they where, how they came to be or how to kill them until they discovered it for themselves.
Also Apocalypse No Toride, Zombies talk? WTH......put me right off.
I really doubt it because Kirkman stated that for 300 issues aprox it would chronicle Rick's life in The Walking Dead. Plus that site said Rick was no longer in charge it did not say that Rick gets killed.
The cover is probably a metaphor. It might assert that Rick has lost leadership and the guy with the bat is "controlling" him.
Yep in no way does the site say that Rick dies at all
You can get almost the entire series,in Compendium form, with Compendium 2 due out this oct.Its very inexpensive compared to the original comics this way.You can get Compendium 1 new for about $30 or less if you put effort into it.
