I have never read the comics and don't want to, as I don't want any spoilers as to what may happen, but apparently the Shane character dies much sooner in the comics. I agree though, when he died I was most shocked as I thought he was a huge part of the plot and a main character that would stick around for quite some time. I actually was quite disappointed when they killed him off.
Here's a fun theory...not sure if anyone has heard this theory before, but what if all of this is simply Rick in a coma, still in the hospital. Shane, Lori, everyone still alive and this is all Rick in a coma thinking he woke up to this. Personally I think that would be a fantastic ending to the series.
But then again, I loved the ending to Newhart when he wakes up to his other TV wife Suzanne Pleshette and says you won't believe the dream I had about being an innkeeper. Awesome ending.
