I've read lots of George RR Martins books especially in the 80's, Sandkongs and fever dream are some of my faves.

But walking dead is absolutely stunning for what I'd thought would just be another zombie story, as said above the character developement, the writing, the constant perils are done exceptionally well, and you can't see a hint of the usual problem in where you know what will happen beforehand or have a good idea what's next.

You care about the characters and their struggles, you see what can happen when society vanishes and the writers never give them an easy way out, it's obvious to me that you should have a much easier time trying to survive than what they show in the series and that makes it more fun to watch.

I read part of one of the illustrated comics from the storyline but then I read something that I didn't want to know as it told me more than the series up to that time had inferred, I want to see the story develop on the tv so no more of that.

It's what, 9 years in now?, I'll watch till the end and you know it can't go on forever but as long as the writing is good and the acting follows I'll be waiting for the next episode.
