If this is what happens in the comics its way more graphic then the show lol
Shot in the line of duty, Kentucky police officer Rick Grimes wakes from a coma in the hospital to find his town overrun with walking corpses.[4] He travels to Atlanta, Georgia in search of his wife and son, and finds them in a small survivor camp outside the ruined city.[5]
After a fatal zombie attack on the camp, Rick criticizes its leader, his former police partner Shane. Shane pulls a gun on Rick, but is shot dead by Rick’s 7-year-old son Carl. Now de facto leader, Rick decides the survivors need to find a safer home. [6]
Rick’s early settlement attempts are disastrous. A mother is killed after the survivors move into a gated neighborhood infested with zombies.[7] A farmer, Hershel, invites the group to stay on his land — until zombies break free from his barn and kill several members of his family.[8] The group's fortunes improve when they discover an abandoned prison with a zombie-proof fence.
Joined by four surviving inmates, Hershel and his remaining family, and a few others met along the road, Rick’s group fortifies the prison against zombies. But danger comes from within: a psychotic inmate murders Hershel’s two youngest daughters,[9] and Rick kills another inmate during an attempted coup against his group.[10] Increasingly erratic and brutal as he struggles to keep order, Rick steps down as the group’s leader, replaced by a committee.
Rick and two friends, Glenn and Michonne, leave the prison to investigate a nearby helicopter crash and stumble upon Woodbury: a survivor town ruled by an insane tyrant called the Governor.[11] When his visitors won’t tell him where they came from, he imprisons them, cutting off Rick's right hand and sadistically raping Michonne.[12] The Governor eventually allows the three to escape, hoping to tail them back home. But on her way out of town, Michonne captures, tortures and mutilates the Governor.[13]
The prison dwellers prepare for a reprisal attack, but slip into complacency and distraction after weeks with no sign of Woodbury forces. Rick’s wife gives birth.[14] Glenn marries his girlfriend Maggie[15] and “adopts” an orphaned girl. Rick and Hershel are admiring the courtyard vegetable garden when the Governor and a small army rolls up to the prison fence. [16]
Despite their better weapons and larger numbers, the Woodbury forces take heavy casualties and retreat.[17] Convinced they will return, Glenn, Maggie and their adopted daughter flee in an RV with another family. [18] Michonne and her lover Tyreese are captured while attempting a preemptive commando strike on Woodbury.[19] Michonne escapes into the wasteland but the Governor executes Tyreese outside the prison gate before launching his second assault.[20]
The Governor’s forces use a tank to break down the fence and massacre the prison dwellers, killing Hershel, Rick's wife and baby, and many others.[21] Rick and Carl flee to a nearby town.[22] Zombies pour in through the broken fence and surround the Woodbury forces. One of the Governor’s soldiers shoots him in the head before his army runs out of ammo and presumably perishes.[23]
Rick and Carl reunite with Michonne and those who fled in the RV.[24] These few survivors of the prison massacre wander until they join up with a trio headed to Washington, D.C. One of them, Eugene, claims to be a government scientist in radio contact with survivors in the capital.[25]
Maggie attempts suicide over the death of her family. Rick and Abraham — a U.S. Army sergeant traveling with Eugene — bond during a supply run as they confess the killings they’ve each committed to survive.
The group’s oldest member, Dale, is bitten by a zombie and sneaks into the forest to die alone, but is kidnapped by a group of cannibals, who eat his leg before he dies.[26]. [27] Rick and the other adults find, kill and mutilate the cannibals. A reverend is the only person among them appalled by their brutality.[28]
On the outskirts of Washington, Eugene admits he is actually a high school teacher and has no contact with the government. Washington is overrun like other cities. But the group is approached the same day by a recruiter for a peaceful walled-off town of about 40, the Alexandria Safe Zone.[29]
Worried the Alexandrians have forgotten the dangers of the wasteland, Rick gradually asserts authority over them. As town constable, he secretly carries a gun[30] and disobeys Alexandria's leader, Douglas, to intervene in a domestic dispute.[31] After the newcomers help defeat a bandit attack on Alexandria[32], Douglas admits Rick is a better leader and steps down.[33]
The gunfire during the bandit attack attracts a herd of of zombies, who surround and break through Alexandria’s wall, killing several.[34] The surviving residents retreat to their houses while zombies flood the town.[35]
When Rick and Carl get surrounded by zombies, Douglas tries to help them, but accidentally shoots Carl in the eye before he is killed himself.[36] Rick carries Carl to Alexandria’s surgeon, then returns outside and — with Michonne and other residents — destroys the entire herd. The victory convinces Rick that zombies are a manageable threat, and he resolves to rebuild civilization at Alexandria.[37]
Carl wakes from a coma with amnesia.[38]
Rick quashes a small rebellion but forgives the transgressors.[39]
Andrea confesses she loves Rick, but he mostly spurns her advances.[40]
Paul, who claims to represent a nearby community of about 200 survivors, offers to trade supplies with Alexandria, claiming he already does so with several other survivor groups in the area.[41] Fearing a trap, Rick imprisons Paul and prepares Alexandria to defend against an attack. But he soon has a change of heart and decides to trade with Paul's group.
Let's just say AMC's version is Disneyland and the graphic novels are Six Flags
