Some of those weren't necessarily conveyed properly via the little screen...

I think part of it comes down to the comics being uncensored so when they want to get dark they can get as dark as necessary to convey the savagery and the brutality from both zombies and (more importantly) people. I can see no way the on-screen head batting will be nearly as repulsive/shocking as what went down in the comics, especially since they already took some of the wind out of those sails with a freaking cliffhanger.
