Ignore my earlier complaining (see reviews of Issues 6, 7 and 8) about how this series was going downhill. Yes I was tired of the same old, yes I was impressed with the ridiculous ending of #8. But Here We Remains reignited the old flame.
Here We Remain sets off the story on a whole new story arc. We've got some of the original characters and some new ones. The addition of new characters added a much needed shaking up. There's some new developments regarding the roamers as well - nic More...

The story picks up right where Volume 8 left off, with Rick Grimes and his son Carl fleeing the massacre at the prison. Most everyone seems to have died, including Rick's wife and the dreadful Governor character. I realized with him dead, maybe there will be a reprieve in the extreme and unnecessary gore and horror. Nothing in this trade paperback made me want to get it erased from my mind a la Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I am grateful.

After the emotional roller coaster of book 8, it was nice to take a breather with book 9. It was nice to have a slight lull in the action and go back to Rick and Carl's storyline as they try to find their footing after losing everything they thought was certain in their lives.

After the devastating events of the previous volume, Here We Remain picks up with Rick and his son moving on and rebuilding what they can of their shattered lives. New characters are introduced, old characters return, and a new threat emerges in the shape of 'herds'.
Unsurprisingly this volume moves slowly and is more akin to the seventh volume than the merciless speed of the eighth. However, unlike the seventh, this book does seem to suffer from a reduction of quality compared to th More...

The series takes another bit of a downturn here, which is unfortunate considering how strong the last two were. The previous volume shattered our little group and Rick and Carl head off to try and pick up the pieces.
Things get a little touchy feely early on and for awhile the story meanders along without going anywhere - a full page (eight panels) is actually spent showing that nothing happened for four days. Eventually, they meet up with the remaining survivors from the prison, wh More...

After a violent, death-filled climactic battle last volume, Robert Kirkman tones it down, focusing mostly on Rick and his son Carl. Both are pretty beaten down after that big fight--Rick struggles with his resolve, his grip on reality, and his physical health while Carl tentatively dips one toe into adulthood. The two eventually run into old friends and Kirkman sets up a new path that could lead to a possible happy ending, but given the consistent beatings that Rick and co. receive, it's doubt

I just sat down and read this volume of "The Walking Dead" in one sitting. Now part of that is because I'm trying to get caught up before the debut of the AMC TV series tomorrow night, but even if I wasn't trying to make it through all these, I still don't think I could have put it down.

This volume follows Rick and Carl as they come to grips that they may be the only survivors from the prison seige. When Rick becomes gravely ill, Carl must survive on his own and discovers that while he can take care of himself, he is not yet ready to be an orphan. Once Rick recovers they decided to head to Herschel's farm and along the way they begin to find others from their original group. It's a bittersweet reunion as they realize just how many of thier group they have lost. But by the e

After the events of volume 8, it was expected that this one would be a little more calm, give the characters time to cope with all that happened. It was good to see how all the characters reacted, and Carl's reactions seemed very realistic, but Rick's just seemed way too far-fetched and seeing as it was the same reactions aos Mischone, it just didn't sound 'right'.

Yeah the titles of these WALKING DEAD volumes offer, like, no insight as to what actually happens within. That's okay by me, though. HERE WE REMAIN! This seems like an ironic title because I think this was the issue where they left the prison? Or maybe this was in between the two meet-ups with "The Governor" so our heroes were still in the prison? Don't worry, I don't think anything too much is really being "spoiler"'d by my terrible memory here. This appears to have be

This is a great follow-up to the season-finale-like volume we left off at last time. I seriously love how far Carl has progressed in this series! This little kid is my new favourite character, and the first couple of issues in this volume were some of his best moments,... and some of the most haunting.
I also really liked the father/son dynamic between him and Rick here. I think they're my favourite moments in this series so far. Anyone who is looking for something similar should defin More...

This is an ongoing comic series about a zombie takeover. The series follows Rick, his family and some other survivors as they seek out some sense of a normal life...Honestly, I don't like this series but I just can't stop reading it! I am invested in the characters by this point in the series, but they CONSTANTLY get screwed over. Nothing good ever happens to them, and I have learned if it does, it will soon be followed by something awful. Way too much death, misery, grief, destruction, defeat,

This is probably my least favorite addition to the series so far. After everything they've went through, Rick and Carl are forced once again to return to the land outside of their prison fences. They've lost everyone they loved and cared for, and the grief from those deaths take up the entire arc. That's not to say that this is a bad collection, but it lacks the excitement all the previous volumes had.

Zombie-eepos on edennyt yhdeksänteen kokoelma-albumiinsa. Sarjakuva ehti edellisessä osassa saada melko verisiä ja visvaisia käänteitä, mutta nyt käsikirjoittaja Kirkman on selvästi päättänyt, että nyt on aika vetää hieman henkeä.
Toimintaa on selvästi vähemmän ja juonen seuraavaa suurta päälinjaa aletaan varovaisesti pohjustella: uusia henkilöitä marssitetaan kehiin, ja eräs heistä tietänee, mistä yhteiskunnan kaaokseen suistanut zombie-rutto oikein sai alkunsa.

After the epic deathfest that was Made to Suffer, it was pretty much inevitable that Here We Remain would feel like a letdown. As the very few remaining survivors found their way back to one another, I couldn't help but feel that Here We Remain is more like an epilogue to Made to Suffer rather than the next volume in the series.

Vol 9 felt a little forced after the last bits since we are quickly reunited with the majority of characters that most would have thought would be goners after the events at the prison. I'm also not a huge fan of the new crew that was introduced but the characters have started to grow on me a little. But, getting past that small bit the rest of the story continued on with the well written savage look at the post apocalyptic world. I strongly suggest the series, just be prepared for how brutal

There was a time when I was in love with this series. Now, I just like it. I think my biggest problem is I don't really care about these characters all that much anymore. They could live or die, it's whatever. It's still fun to follow them around though, cause, zombies and all.
I really did love this line from one of the new characters. "The thing about smart motherfuckers is that they sound like crazy motherfuckers to dumb motherfuckers." So subtle.

I find I'm starting to grow kind of bored with this series--I feel like they just keep ending up in the same horrible situations over and over again. I was excited at the end of the last book because it seemed like a chance was opened up to go in a new direction with this. But. So far, that hasn't really happened, although in this volume we're introduced to a scientist who claims he knows what started the zombie plague. Sadly, what started it turns out to be the most obvious thing possible. Mayb

I'm official DONE with this series. The dialogue is stilted and unrealistic. Most of the characters aren't developed, like, at all. Every time the story takes an interesting turn, the author fails to take advantage. It's a shame, because the overall concept is really good, and occasionally there's some interesting plot twists.
I hope the TV series just takes the basic plot and characters and goes in a different, more satisfying direction.

A beautiful coda after the Walking Dead Compendium. Part of this is about Carl, Rick's son. This is an 9 year old living through a zombie apocalypse. He's seen so many people die and killed so many people that he's not even sure if he's a child himself. And yet, he has a father. He has family. And he knows that's not a thing that many people have these days.
It's touching, it's quiet, and its devastating in the small moments.

after the unrelenting action of the last volume, it makes sense that this one would be slower. seemingly all the survivors end up finding each other and dealing with their new situation and grief. certainly not the most interesting volume in the series - the first half focuses only on Rick and Carl - but sets us up for new adventures to come. and new, slightly-crazy characters are added to the mix.

The story just keeps pushing, huh? And they always leave you with a good cliff-hanger. Unlike a lot of series (sorry, Left Behind), the writers don't bore you. But how could you ever get bored with a zombie apocalypse setting? Whose not intrigued by survival scenarios? You don't tire with the characters, because there's always great dynamics, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera... It's great.
