4) Lori
Lori was never the most popular of The Walking Dead‘s characters, to put it mildly, but she did have a memorably tragic ending. Dying during childbirth with Judith, her own son Carl is forced to shoot his mother in the head to keep her from re-animating. But like Dale’s, Lori’s death in the comics is even worse.
First of all, she survives giving birth to Judith. Instead, her death comes at the hands of the Governor’s raid on the prison. While fleeing with Judith in her arms, Lori is shot in the back. As she falls to the ground dead, the baby is crushed under her weight. It’s a horrific moment, and is perhaps the comic book version of Sophia’s death in the TV show. In both version of the series, even children aren’t safe.
In a more general sense, the love triangle between Lori, Rick and Shane is a much bigger deal on the TV series than it is in the comics. Apart from Shane’s early death in the source material, the comic book version of Lori instantly regrets sleeping with Shane the one time rather than the complex, passionate affair they embark upon on the show.
