There will always be villains to compare to...Neagan is much different than the Gov. and I don't really see any similarities beyond it being one guy leading a group of people against Rick and his people. Other than that...completely different stories.
Oh ya, completely different!
One psycopath, leading a group to Ricks safehaven, having said group attack with military weapons (tanks), vs another psycopath leading a group to Ricks safehaven, having said group attack with military weapons (grenades).
Dude, the similarities here are exhausting. Even raising their arm to announce the slaughter is exactly the same.
I still like the book but you have to be delusional to think these are different stories. He, Kirkman, freaken plagarized himself.
Don't buy it if you don't like it.
