Vol. 10 is slowly picking up a bit where new relationships are being formed with Eugene, Abraham, and Rosita. The whole entire group is now on a mission to get to D.C. to get back into communication with the Government since Eugene claims to have worked for them and knows why there's an outbreak. After they reach the interstate, Rick recognizes the roads and wants to take a short trip back to Atlanta to check on his friend Morgan (introduced in Vol. 1). He also indicates that there is a large am...more
Our survivors decided in Volume 9 to link up with Abraham's group. The two groups are still learning to trust one another, and there's a seemingly inevitable clash between Rick and Abraham as they both assert their alpha male status.
Rick and Abraham later have a heart-to-heart in which they share the circumstances of their families' deaths, and they confess to killings they have each committed. Each man feels guilt over his actions, and they question whether all of the killings have been justifi...more

The tenth volume of The Walking Dead includes issues 55-60. It continues the story of the survivors of the original group, as well as the new trio, as they head for Washington DC.
They're on the road and camping whenever they need to. When Rick suggests they stop by his old town so he can pick up some more ammo from the police station, Abraham goes with him. They also take Carl, and while he's there Rick visits Morgan. Which was really cool but also very sad. I was so horrified to see what had ha...more

The new group of survivors is on the road to Washington. They have a couple of vehicles and some horses and are heading north hoping to find answers and safety in the nation's capital.
Tensions build between the various survivors (mostly between Rick and one of the new people, ex-military Abraham). At one point, they reach a gas station and decide to stay for a while as Rick, his son, and Abraham make a few days' trip back to Rick's hometown. The plan is to raid the police station for supplies (m...more

Another really solid volume. I'd worried that being on the road again would detract from what I enjoy most about the series - which is that it's at its absolute best when the characters are at the forefront, rather than the emergency of the week. That hasn't been the case. Volume ten delves deep into the minds of the characters, particularly Rick, Abraham and Dale. (view spoiler)...more
Chapter Ten, What We Become feels like it is trying a bit too hard at times. Yep, you read it here from a die-hard fan of this series. Robert Kirkman is either toying with the readers (us), or, perhaps he is working hard to draw us into something much deeper than I can perceive. I’m not saying that the story isn’t good…it’s just not great.

In this volume the survivors continue on their journey towards Washington DC. As they are near Atlanta Rick decides to return to his old town and house and see if Morgan and Duane are still there. It turns out they are, though things haven't gone well for them.
On the way back they encounter a massive herd of zombies which means the group have to move, and fast. This is not popular amongst the group.

The Walking Dead bounces back again from a so-so installment in this tour-de-force. Things started off with the same simpering storylines, but the action picked up pretty quickly and moved along nicely from there on out.
The gang heads off down a new path, being pulled in even more directions and threatening to pull apart the whole way. Rick and the "muscle" from the new group achieve detente and get on the same page - more or less - after a harrowing run-in with marauders. Tragedy is narrowly av...more

The new cast of characters we met in the last book get some life and real personalities (specifically Abraham) as he and Rick go off on their own little adventure in search of supplies and old friends in Rick's home town. The best part of the entire book was a glorious section of emotional dialogue that you knew was coming, butt you were just waiting for the moment. Kirkman writes this dialogue so exceptionally well that it left me stunned afterward. It was a back story of the switch that flippe...more
The Walking Dead - Volume 10 – What We Became is also pretty slow. Maggie tries to kill herself; Rick is still trying to cope with the death of his wife and child. But he is starting to take decisions and is slowly turning into his normal self again. Rick visits some old friends in some old neighbourhood. Dale is no longer confident in Rick and wants to separate from the group. Rick goes berserk on a guy who was going to hurt Carl. We get to finally meet Morgan from the first issue. Apparently h...more
This volume seemed stronger than the last few. Maybe it was just my hiatus from the storyline due to a prolonged wait for this from interlibrary loan, which never came through.
I particularly liked the middle portion of the book where Rick and Abraham have a heart to heart that explains the title. But there were a few other surprising moments of action (Morgan's son, a hanging, the dead cat, the herd). In fact, this one was a nice blend of action and talk, making it satisfying yet still a fast r...more

This series is starting to pick up pace again. After the slow burn come down in volume 9 ( which, after volume 8, was totally required), this chapter sees the action beginning to crank up again.
Its wonderful to see how the character of Rick is developing. His descent from an honourable man defending his family and friends world without honour, to the man who kills and threatens anyone and anything that gets in his way is compelling (if a little clichéd).

This one felt like another filler, but although there's not quite as much action as usual I still enjoyed it. This one dwelt a lot more on Rick's character progression from an honourable policeman trying to do what's best for his family to a cold-blooded killer who will do whatever it takes to keep himself and his son alive. I love that Kirkman isn't afraid to send his character down this dark path and still allows us to sympathise with him. I also liked that we finally got to see what became of...more

I understand that the child rape that almost occurs might be too much for some, but I have to point out that if the end of the world is going on, and everyone that is surviving feels free to do whatever they want, there will inevitably be the worst things imaginable going on. Surviving in a world like that obviously changes the people living in it.

This was a very insightful installment. We learn just what Rick will do to protect Carl and how it “chips away at his soul.” We also learn that Abraham is more human than we all thought we we first met him in volume 9 and that what happened to him would make anyone turn cold. We also see that some of the group just isn’t “right” anymore.

Abraham is a far more interesting character than pretty much everyone else combined. Next to him, Rick looks almost like a caricature.
These later volumes, there's more and more moments that happen off-camera than there used to be. I still can't believe how unnaturally flat some of the dialogue is, but I swear Kirkman's actually learning something about plotting.

Rick, Carl, Andrea, Dale, their boys, Glen, Maggie, and Michonne have grouped up with the newbies on their way to Washington DC. In their travels, they come to a fork. Should they continue on the road or take the freeway? Rick elects to take the freeway to his hometown in order to finish raiding the police station for weapons. On the way there they meet some looters and Rick bonds with Abraham.

I've got to admit it's kinda refreshing to see our grizzly one-armed hero being a little decisive again. I'm hoping that he and the leader of the group they joined up with, Abraham, continue whatever bonding they've got going on and lead everyone to some kind of safety. With the way Kirkman likes to knock off characters though, I'm betting that's highly unlikely.

After really being drawn into the series in the last few volumes, this one took me right back to "Ehhh, it's o.k." world. Nothing out of the ordinary happens in this volume and nothing is presented in a way that really rises above. The plot in this one is thin - presumably giving us some time for character development. The problem is, the character development in this one seems rather dull and unrealistic. There is one particularly good sequence, but even that is played too heavily. Melodrama, r...more
Oh damn! It's about to get nuts.
The Walking Dead, Vol. 10: What We Become has the anxiety-inducing feeling akin to the earlier volumes in the series. It's not the holy crap feeling of The Walking Dead, Vol. 8: Made to Suffer. Rather, it's the build up of what's to come that creates the tension.
Volume 10 opens with a gut-wrenching moment with Maggie. Although it's a tragic moment, as a result of it, we catch a glimpse of badass O.G. Rick again that just made me giddy. And the timing of it couldn'...more

Well, I have to hand it to Robert Kirkman: just when you think things can’t get worse for Rick Grimes and his band of survivors, they do.
No spoilers here, but I’ll say that Kirkman sufficiently executes his vision of a desolate human wasteland; throughout the course of the series, the concept of humanity in the few survivors has arguably become as decayed as the undead themselves. Not, exactly, that you can blame them for losing hope— I’m starting to feel that Kirkman has made his point and is n...more

What We Become does well to get the series moving again after Here We Remain, but things aren't perfectly back on track yet. The title is spot on, which many of the characters worrying about what they've started to become since the zombies rose, but occasionally the line between surviving and downright crazy is blurrier than it should be.

Weirdly, my library doesn't have 10, 11, and 12 in stock. They don't even have them listed. Thankfully, my beloved librarian, Oliver, promptly ILLed them to fill in the odd gap. I can't wait.

This, another aptly titled volume, explores what has happened to our characters and "what [they've] become" as a result.

The past two volumes (8-9) were seriously intense with major conflict and chock-ful-a "OMG! What are they going to do?!?" This one slips from that high-octane gear into a lower, more sinister one. Less action, more drama and personal issues. The characters are coming unraveled and learn how to deal with their personal issues. Kirkman drills the message home with the characters, at one point parodying the zombies in a fight with other non-dead. I don't even know if you could call the surviving li...more
