Maggie Greene
[ranking: 7]
Comics Maggie: She and Glenn do meet at her dad??s farm and become as close as ever. Maggie and Glenn have a son they name Hershel and they adopt Sophia after Carol dies. After Glenn??s death, Maggie descends into grief but eventually emerges and becomes the leader of the Hilltop Community.
TV Maggie: Maggie and Glenn??s storyline is similar to the comics, until Glenn fake-dies and Maggie learns she's pregnant. Deanna sees Maggie??s leadership skills and she takes up a position as her right hand in Alexandria until Deanna becomes walker food. Maggie??s been an envoy to the Hilltop Community, so she might very well take on the role of leader.

Dr. Denise Cloyd
[ranking: 17]
Comics Denise: She definitely had more experience than her TV counterpart as one of the three docs at Alexandra. She was a general practitioner and surgeon before the fall. Denise and Heath were together in the comics and she sacrifices herself to save him.
TV Denise: Denise is thrust into the position of being the town doc with pretty zero experience at practicing medicine. She??s quirky and funny. Tragically, she and Tara were just getting started when Dwight killed Denise with an arrow through the eye. Tara is going to be pissed.
Rosita Espinosa
[ranking: 5]
Comics Rosita: Rosita meet up with Abraham and has the same relationship seen on screen, including the part where he cruelly dumps her. Her rebound? Eugene. They actually get married.
TV Rosita: If she lives through the Negan line up, she very well might hook up with Eugene or all by herself because some of these men in the apocalypse are the worst.

Shane Walsh
[ranking: 18]
Comics Shane: Paper Shane met his maker a lot sooner in the comics, although it's different from the show. Carl shoots Shane. Rick kills walker Shane. Onscreen, Rick stabs Shane and Carl kills walker Shane.
TV Shane: Jon Bernthal got to seethe a little longer as the character, growing more erratic with the news that Lori was knocked up with a baby that might just be his. He plots to take out his former best friend Rick, but Rick stabs him and then Carl kills reanimated Shane. This marks the moment Rick and Carl realize you don??t have to be bitten to turn.

Rick Grimes
[ranking: 9]
Comics Rick: Rick and his TV counterpart go through the same transition from a lawman with a strict moral code to a leader who is as brutal as the group??s enemies across the wasteland. After Lori??s death, Rick gets together with Andrea. The Governor hacks off Rick??s right hand in their first meeting. And the comic allows time to pass to see an older Rick and the world he and the group have made.
TV Rick: Rick is an impressive, frustrating, and monologuing leader who sometimes makes the WORST decisions, but somehow keeps his position. Andy Lincoln has stepped into the skin of Rick with many jokes about his Southern accent, particularly his pronunciation of his son??s name. He's held on to his right hand on TV because it's a total bummer to work in extreme heat with ticks crawling all over you AND learn to shoot your Colt Python with a fake hand. Rick and Michonne have a fiery beginning with a lot of hostile looks and mistrust that eventually evolve into a romantic relationship.

Heath
[ranking: 12]
Comics Heath: Heath is more of a presence in the comics simply because the format allows it. He is with Denise and is a solid member of Alexandria. He loses a leg after Denise sacrifices herself to save him.
TV Heath: Heath??s story has yet to evolve in any significant way. He may take on more of a role once the gang gets away from Negan. If they can get away from Negan, that is.
