Just caught up on the latest ep. I still prefer the show over the comic, but if there's one thing the comic does better it's michonne (at least now I know how it's pronounced).
In the comic, Michonne's character was fleshed out a bit before she and rick ended up in the Governor's territory, so she doesn't seem too one dimensional. Being tortured and raped by the governor in the comic (spoilers!) also helped justify her extreme pessimism, but in the show she's already uber pessimist since the start. I kept rooting for the governor to just throw her out already.
The governor is not as hateful as he is in the comic. Chalk it up to David Morrissey. You know he's nasty, but given the circumstances (zombie apocalypse?) you can at least understand it.
There's also the fact that Andrea and Michonne don't really have anything to fear at the compound, except learning how to be too complacent. In the comic, Rick and Michonne had to protect the prison from falling in the governor's hands.
