Personally I'm hoping they make some major changes from the comic. Sorry about the spoiler heavy post.
For me it started to go down hill Spoiler: when they got to the prison and when Spoiler: killed Tyreese was killed off I was pretty much through but for some reason I continued even though it had gotten to the point where I hated Rick. And not in a good way. In a he's a character that needs to be killed off kind of way.
The final deal breaker for me was Spoiler: when Lori and the baby were killed off when that happened I just stopped wanting to even read the book.
I heard that Kirkman Spoiler: killed off Dale recently too, basically most of the characters I liked are dead (Tyreese, Lori, Dale, Axel) and most of the characters I hated seem to be the ones Kirkman keeps around (I understand Rick is unfortunately the main character but Michonne? Can't she just die?).
It's not that I don't like Kirkman's writing because I do and I've enjoyed other things he's written, hell I loved the first few trades of TWD as I said earlier, but it seemed that TWD became just another monthly comic. A much gorier one mind you, but no different from most other monthlies.
Here's hoping the series can do what the comic couldn't. Start great and stay great.
