Now we know why the Sophia story arc took this long. It had to have that impact; to have us talking and thinking about the series before it resumes in February next year.
Kirkman doesn't go for the jugular every time, preferring to resolve plots in a more dramatic way and develop the characters, unlike how he's writing the more brisk The Walking Dead comics.
The print version has more action and the folks in it move on faster to their (unjust) rewards. Currently at issue 91, the comics probably have more than five seasons worth of TV time in them. Both mediums are addicting, and can be enjoyed separate from each other.
You have to wonder how long the TV series will last, though. Kirkman intimated in an interview that he'd like to write the comics for years—to the point where zombie encounters are few and the people in it are already rebuilding their lives.
If that's so, then years from now we'll probably have to rename the series to: The Crawling Dead.
