By two-way you mean the radio thingy then no, it isn't in the comic, they still meet in the beginning and go to the police station though.
I don't want to spoil anything about Morgan so lets just leave it at that.

Another thing that is different is that the plot at the Center for Disease Control never happens, instead they find this walled in neighborhood that is full with zombies, there is also where the non-wife beater version of Ed(Allen) dies.
But Allen actually had 2 kids and a wife though so he could be the Morales in the series, depends on how you look at it.

Guess Ill watch the latest episodes now just to catch up.

Another little thing that bothered me was how quickly events took place in the first season. One of the golden rules in movies/TV is don't play all your cards too quickly. It felt like the first season did that. I would have liked to see the first season (which only consisted of six episodes) being just Rick trying to get to Atlanta - running into situations along the way and giving us a good amount of time with that character. But instead almost every key plot point was dealt within just those six episodes. That's just a minor complaint though. I haven't read the comic, so maybe that's the way the story unfolds, and you do have to honour the comic to at least some extent before you go off and start doing your own thing.

Season 1 is pretty much based on the first 6 chapters of the comic but the biggest difference is that Carl shoots and kills Shane (he wasn't built up as much as he was in the show) before they leave their camp outside the city.
Some smaller stuff is changed like the people they met in the city when going back for the guns, but in the big scheme its the same as in the comic, their going to Hershels farm, the barn being full with zombies etc which can be kinda boring because that means anyone who read the comic already know who's going to die when and what is going to happen next.
Carl is different in the show though which I though was kinda sad.

If anyone is interested.

I've seen season 1 and about 4 episodes from season 2 but it got kinda dull so I stopped watching, might start again once Tyreese and Michonne are introduced.
