Nah. Once they leave the camp, the comic doesn't return to Atlanta (or hasn't yet, it's close to issue 80).Now, I haven't read the comics yet. Are you giving spoliers?

Ok. That would make a pretty awesome Romero-eque plot development though, a la "Day of the Dead."
TWD #1 came out before 28 Days Later.Yeah, but if they did that they'd be universally panned as just ripping-off Romero. They've got plenty of awesome coming if they just stick to the comics general plot line. Aside from the 28-days-later-esque beginning (and I'm not sure which did that first- WD or 28 Days?) they don't have to crib off anybody.
I am worried that all the drama the show is gen'ing up is just to have more drama. Doesn't zombie survival horror have enough drama already?! While I don't want a complete re-tread of the comic, they've already skewed the story off several times. While it's all pretty awesome so far, I worry that they'll get derailed from the book's core plot points and get too much soap opera in my zombie apocalypse!![]()
Yeah.. a reentry into the city to save a jerk kinda stretched credibility. I guess it's going to tie into the helicopter that we saw in part 2. Still, not following the comics does kinda keep things surprising. I expect a walker to jump out from every unseen nook and cranny, such as the pond they're using for washing.

The weird thing is that the misogynist guy/beat up scene happened in the comics just a few months ago, in an entirely different setting:I liked this episode a lot more than the last.
It's clear to me now that this season is going to end where the first novel did.
Glad to say I was wrong to hesitant about Lori and Shane. I don't think it was as messed up as it was in the comic. Still, I think they did a good job convincing me that a) Lori would have gone for Shane, and b) Shane is a dick. It was satisfying, if that's the right word for it.
I could have done without the washing circle scene. There's a similar scene in the comic, but minus the misogynist guy. It's also a bit more interesting - Lori tells the story of how she met Rick. Also, it's a little less sexist in the comic - while Lori and the gang are washing clothes, Rick and Shane are off hunting and Glenn is (IIRC) back in Atlanta. With all the extra characters, I guess they felt they needed to make the point of people not doing work. Still, the scene didn't really add anything, except to show Shane freaking out.
I was really glad to see Merle using a bow - that's a long-standing gripe among the comic viewers.
Given how the Lori/Shane thing turned out, I'm a little less hesitant on Hacksaw guy cutting off his hand. Still, a tourniquet is not a magical cure for amputation, and I was hoping for something a little more realistic from the show. I don't even remember seeing blood, and there's no way a self-amputation with a hacksaw would be that neat and clean.
