The main difference is that in the TV show they broke Rick for real and then had to spend half the season getting him back into fighting shape. In this he's blufing Negan and planning behind his back.
Several key notes from the TV show are taken direct from this volume - Carl sneaking back to the Savior's compound being the most notable. Remembering that he's maybe 11 years old in the comic, unlike the 17/18 year old in the tv show, there's a whole element of wrongness there. Great stuff.
I recognised several of the best lines of dialogue from the tv show as they popped up in this volume as well.
Negan is easily the best human villain of the comics so far.
Not much more to say. The writing is as good as ever, the artwork is maybe a little dicey in places (although Carl without the eyepatch is suitably gruesome and really well done), and the threat levels keep rising...
And of course, this is the volume where we first meet King Ezekiel. Although he seems radically different to his tv counterpoint in personality, I must say the tv version is a great double for the comic version in looks.
