After Rick's family was ripped apart in the attack on the prison in volume 8, he and Carl set out alone. The other few survivors have scattered in other directions, and so father and son must cope on their own. They hunker down in an abandoned house in (relative) safety. Carl struggles with a young boy's need and desire to be protected and his anger at his father for failing to keep the family safe. He is also taking his first steps t...more

I stopped reading The Walking Dead for a while after Volume 8. It's not that it became a bad read, Kirkman has an oddly consistent track record, it's just that the level of misery became so great that I felt I needed to take a break from the series.
This collection was the wind down and reset that the series needed. There's no major revelation, just characters coping with the most tremendous loss they've suffered. It's far more compelling than it would seem as a summary.

After the gut-wrenching conclusion of volume eight, Made to Suffer, you might be a bit reluctant to crack open volume nine, Here We Remain. If Robert Kirkman has done anything, he’s proven that he is a fearless storyteller. He refuses to coddle the reader. The series up to now has been harsh, gritty, and real.
Here We Remain feels like a chance to catch your breath. Unlike volume seven, The Calm Before, where you are actually warned that there are bad things happening so take a moment to find yo...more

I think this might be the turning point for me. The last few volumes took things in a violent and shocking direction and this takes us away from all that, resulting in a much quieter and contemplative story. Rick and Carl move on and pick up what lives they have left and we meet a few new characters who also introduce a few new plot teasers to keep us intrigued. It might not be enough though.

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'.

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, which leads to m...more

This is the volume that continues the story after the gargantuan Compendium ends. (SPOILER ALERT) I like how Rick and his son survived the attack on the prison, and I do find myself liking Carl more and more, even though I am waiting for his balls to drop on the show. But I know I can't like ANY of the characters because their fate is being woven upon the fragile tapestry that is life. (Oh shit,I judt got kind of deep there). But anyway, I feel for Rick as he descends partially into madness (he...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 doubtfu...more
I'm returning to The Walking Dead after a long hiatus. Issue #48 was just so dark that I had to emotionally distance myself before I picked it up again.
The Walking Dead, Vol. 9 is a welcome change from the horror of Volume 8. It wasn't refreshing exactly -- nothing in this bleak series is refreshing -- but there is a little slack in the tension. Carl and Rick's relationship is as healthy as it can be, given the severe emotional damage they're both suffering. The pair's reunion with the other sur...more

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 end o...more
Less dialogue means more enjoyable storytelling. Rick and Carl on their own, coming to terms with their life now, and Rick starting to show serious cracks as the enormity of his life comes crashing on his head.
New characters means the usually superficial dialogue doesn't stand out too much, so this feels like we're starting over in away. Not a bad thing, and this deep in it may help my flagging interest. But for the love of god, if we're going too indulge Kirkman's penchant for long winding dia...more

This whole volume merely comes off as transitional. It is necessary, but I figure the TV series could tackle this in an episode, if that gives you an idea. Time passes, but in the way of events, not a lot happens. We have some internal conflicts with Rick and Carl concerning their losses. Michonne seems to begin the route back to normal (for real this time) and the scattered survivors of the war regroup and meet some new character ready to take them on the next leg of their journey.

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'.

This volume teeters very closely on 4 stars. The middle of it, where Rick deals with his guilt, is annoying and frustrating. If anyone, Dale is (IMO) clearly at fault for what happened at the prison, and when Rick pours his heart out saying he no longer wants to make decisions, I really feel that the Dale that had been portrayed thus far would have apologized, or at least shown some kind of regret.

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 been the last thing I read b...more
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.

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,...more

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.
