It's Robert Kirkman, there are no other TWD comic writers.
He wanted it to be that way, but there are still differences here and there, like strong hints in the TV show that scratches may cause infection - you don't see that suggested anywhere in the comics.
Other example - zombies actually running early in the show (Atlanta).

In all seriousness :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_%28video_game%29
The game takes place in the same fictional world as the comic, with events occurring shortly after the onset of the zombie apocalypse in Georgia. However, most of the characters are original to the game, which centers on university professor and convicted murderer Lee Everett, who helps to rescue and subsequently care for a young girl named Clementine. Kirkman provided oversight for the game's story to ensure it corresponded to the tone of the comic, but allowed Telltale to handle the bulk of the developmental work and story specifics. Three characters from the original comic book series make in-game appearances; Hershel Greene, Shawn Greene and Glenn Rhee.
So for sure the game/comics are linked. I know the show is too but can't find the quote yet to prove that all 3 are linked.

Anyway, I'd pick Beast.
Andrea. Comic version =/= tv show version.
Hershel mutating into Dale somehow 😛
Governor's tank operator knowing how to actually use the tank instead of just driving it through the fences.
Much less gore and no cursing in the show...
Anyway, didn't know about the game. Wasn't there supposed to be one about Merle/Daryl, too?

I'll try to find that quote from the writer.
No need - I've seen it.

What? The game is BETTER (more interesting) than either the comic or the show! It was the game that got me into the comic that got me into the show. When someone in the show or comic dies, I just yawn. When someone in the game dies, I almost break down :*( That's how good the acting and story are.
Then you got introduced to TWD quite late. I was a fan long before the tv show madness 😛
Glad to hear it's that good, maybe I'll pick it up one day 👆

Try going two or three days without food and you'll start to feel like crap (this is especially true if you are in a high stress environment like the aftermath of a zombpacalypse) and it will affect your performance (ie keeping your whits about you).
That's where the stores, houses, orchards, farms etc come in.
