Revenge of Michonne

Key elements from this storyline were adapted to Season 3 of AMC's live-action The Walking Dead TV adaptation.Since the level of brutality and gore on this book was too violent to adapt for cable TV audience, many of the source materials were changed or completely written off. One such incident is the brutal tortures and repeated rape of Michonne's character at the hands of The Governor. Also, Governor's reanimated niece from comics is adapted as his own daughter in the series to give their relationship more depth.

The Walking Dead – The Best Defense

Collecting issue #25-30 from the monthly ongoing comic-book series The Walking Dead, "The Best Defense" is fifth storyline run of the title. Published by Image Comics in 2006, the storyline is developed by writer Robert Kirkman (Outcast, The Astounding Wolf-Man) and artist Charlie Adlard (Judge Dredd, The X-Files). The story starts from the ending point of the previous arc "The Heart's Desire" and is later continued in "This Sorrowful Life" story arc. This is the first ever storyline of this post-apocalyptic Zombie saga where any death of the living or undead is not shown.

Gears of Retaliation

Though many elements from this story is adapted into the Season 3 of The Walking Dead TV Show on AMC, many other aspects of the original content had to left out because of the level of extremely graphic moments that has taken place. For instance, Rick's hand getting chopped off is completely avoided showing and then the part where Michonne gets raped is also omitted from the show just because it would be too much to digest for cable TV audience. The live-action portrayal and appearance of the character The Governor by actor David Morrissey was also way different than it is in the book.
