    Someone inform me! I'm not a big reader of these things, but I have read a few. I can't really see any differences... Is there even a difference?

    General locations and a lot of names and plotlines are similar. They follow a similar path but great deal of things are different.

    Isn't it a length distinction? Graphic novels are longer and tend to tell a contained story, versus serial comics that take multiple issues to cover a storyline?

    In a manner of speaking, individual issues of The Walking Dead are comics, but you could call the volumes graphic novels.

    I totally misread that title back then. I thought she was comparing the show and comic because i thought I was in TWD section lol.
    They are basically the same thing. lol
