Since the only role they've cast is Shane so far, I'd bet it ends with his and Rick's...confrontation. Basically, the first trade. Unless, they were just gonna squeeze all that into the pilot.
Actually, Kirkman has said he actually hopes they don't adapt everything faithfully, so those of us who read the books will have a few surprises. I'm a little torn on that one. Movies? Yeah, I like faithfullness to the source whenever possible. But watching a TV series every week and knowing everything that will happen could get a little tedious, I suppose.

Even if they were to switch a few things up here and there. A character dies where another had in the comics...Characters live when they died in the book.

That's a possibility. The chance to see a better outcome for [name withheld] would be particularly awesome. I still miss [name withheld] a LOT! It might be annoying, though, if they kill off one or more of some of the longstanding characters who still survive to this day.
Maybe it would be better if they aren't bound as much to all the storylines themselves as opposed to character deaths. While I would LOVE to see the prison sequence covered, it might get a little old if they spend as much time proportionately as the comic did. (I imagine the prison storyline would make for an expensive set in a TV budget, especially as it won't have the budget of, say, Prison Break as an AMC show.)

I could see the prison thing working for a season, if they incorporate a few new/other things into the plot as well. Not sure how the first 2 deaths at the prison would be handled ...if at all.
A few expidition episodes to break up the monotony of the prison setting, and there you go.

I believe so. If they start filming soon, 6 episodes in October seem a lock.
Cannot wait for this...and the DVD set so I can watch it over and over and over...just like Shaun of the Dead.
