Does Walking Dead Season 2 have comic spoilers?

Gryffin

I've seen The Walking Dead season 1. And I've also read The Walking Dead up to episode 24 (the first two hard covers). Do any spoilers await me in season 2; I don't have the money to read the rest of the series right now.

I don't remember where the second HC ends but it is very possible that there could be spoilers. However, the show strays from the comic quite a bit and I think a person could watch the second season and still enjoy the comic at a later date.

Mr_Cosmic

Yes, he is in the comic and the show. The Governor is not in season two but he will be in season three.

Gryffin

Ok. Awesome. Thanks. Is the Governor in both? I feel like I hear a lot about him; though I don't know who he is yet.

Gryffin

Cool. Thank You.

Shouldn't it be assumed that the show in its entirety is a spoiler for the original material?

Each season appears to be deviating exponentially further from the source. Events on the comic fit pretty tightly together A causes B. B leads to C. And the dominoes fall. but with the TV series A causes Q, Q leads to H. And you have an entirely different set of dominoes.

I can easily seperate the TV series from the book series. Enjoying each for their own merits. And in both media there is only one major spoiler: NOBODY IS SAFE >:)

I sort of feel like the broad strokes are there but the fine lines are deviating all over the place.

Which is why I told @Gryffin that I felt it was safe to watch the show and not have to worry about being spoiled a lot.

They are certainly different enough that both can be viewed independently.
