Spoiler for spoiler:
In the comics, and from what I saw in the teasers in the tv show, meeting Neegan is the beginning of a paradigm shift in the world of the walking dead, suddenly our heroes realize they really are not alone, that there are other groups and settlements, suddenly .. politics appears. And after a while, when this situation is resolved, the comic does something I cannot praise it highly enough for - it pushes the action several years forward. We see societies, civilization, trade.. we see people fully adapt to the world, in one way or another.


Yes, the above "spoiler" contains, as it might be deduced, spoilers Generally though I focused on how the world changes, not the fates of characters or specific plot lines.
I debated reading your spoiler, but since I'm about to lose hope for the show anyway, I read it to see if there is some potentially interesting stuff in store. I'll go ahead and put what I think in spoiler tags too:

Spoiler for spoiler:
Now THAT is why I started watching TWD in the first place. Since most zombie stories take place in movies, we only ever get like 1.5-2 hours of action, so the movies rarely explore how the surviving humans can recover, adapt, and interact with other surviving settlements. Romero's Living Dead series tried to cover it a bit with movies like Land of the Dead, but after Day of the Dead, the series turned to total crap. I was so excited that there was finally going to be a zombie TV show where they could really explore these things. But now it's been season after season of the same **** I was just complaining about - if they are FINALLY getting to how humanity can potentially recover, I'll stick with it.
