Again, it's so hard not to compare this to the AMC series, since it covers some of the same ground. There were some things executed much more effectively in the tv adaptation, while others were stronger (or not dwelled upon unnecessarily, in my opinion) in the graphic novel. 
 I'm beginning to feel that a lot of the sympathy I have for certain characters is because of the actors' performances, not the characters' portrayal in the graphic novel. I'll be curious to see how I feel about the third volume, since I'm finally departing plotwise from what the tv series has covered.
