In the comic, Tyreese first joins Rick’s group with his daughter, Julie, and her boyfriend, Chris, in tow. He begins to develop a relationship with Carol and becomes Rick’s right hand (*cough*) man leading up to the group settling in the prison. After hearing a gunshot inside the prison, Tyreese finds a scared Chris alongside his daughter's corpse. Chris explains they had a (clearly botched) suicide pact to shoot each other at the same time. Once Julie begins to reanimate in Tyreese’s arms, Chris finishes her off before Tyreese proceeds to strangle the life out of him.
Once Michonne enters the prison, she makes advances on Tyreese until they eventually hook up. After walking in on them together, Carol breaks up with Tyreese and slits her wrists. Tyreese is later captured by the Governor and ends up sharing the same fate that Hershel receives on the TV show: being decapitated by Michonne’s katana in front of the prison’s residents.
