Do our actions define us?, Aug 14 2009
By SKOLVK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Walking Dead Volume 10: What We Become (Paperback)
"What we become" continues to follow Rick as he and Abraham's group make their way north to Washington D.C. In the first couple pages we see that Rick is really beginning to crack from the traumatic events that took place in Vol.8. He doesn't sleep and he talks to his dead wife on a disconnected phone that he found in a abandoned house, but Rick isn't the only one. Feelings of unrest and suicide begin to fester in the group and an encounter between Rick and Abraham have them at each others throats. As the group takes up camp at a gas station Rick realizes that they are only a days drive from this hometown and he still has the keys to the police armory. Rick, his son Carl and Abraham set out to retrieve the supplies and we a glimpse into Abraham's past. During their talk, the two men find reconciliation and a common thread, both men have been changed by tragedy and they wonder if the terrible things they've seen and done have made them less human, but Rick has no regrets "We do what we have to do, It doesn't matter if we can live with ourselves as long as we LIVE". "What we become" is a very entertaining read. The survivors are on a intriguing quest but you begin to wonder if they can hold together long enough to see it to its end. Rick, whether he means well or not seems to be the catalyst for the group's descent. After breaking camp Andrea tells a brooding Dale that it's name to move on. "fine" dale snaps, "I'm anxious to see the NEXT way he's going to endanger us". As much as I hate to admit it, I am too.

This review is from: The Walking Dead Volume 10: What We Become (Paperback)
Each volume of The Walking Dead tends to run in one of two separate veins. The ultra violent and the thoughtful. Volume 8 served as both a ending and a beginning of sorts, providing us with a violent shakeup that changed things forever for Rick and the rest of the survivors. Volumes 9 and this Volume, while providing us with some moderate zombie violence, mostly gives us the chance to dig deeper into the characters and what makes them tick. Rick and a character introduced in the previous volume, Abraham, both are coping with all the brutal and ugly things they have been forced to do just to survive. Things that in the eyes of family and friends may be unforgivable or at least something they cannot accept. We get to witness Rick in action when three men decide to assault him and his boy and what vicious things he is willing to do to protect what is left of his family. Though there is tension between him and Abraham, they share their stories and come to understand one another much better-they will do whatever it takes to survive. The world is an ugly place and all the innocence and beauty in people has pretty much died, leaving the ugly behind...an ugly that is brutally necessary.Into this mix steps Morgan, Rick's old friend that was hiding out in their hometown. Its interesting to see how Morgan, who cannot bring himself to kill someone who has turned into a zombie that he cares about, is feared because perhaps he has gone insane with grief while Rick himself is starting to be feared because he has refused to be consumed by his grief but instead has lashed out at anything in the world that would threaten him.

Kirkman's zombie epic continues, Sep 7 2009

"The Walking Dead, Vol. 10: What We Become"(Image Books, 2009)
------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Mild spoilers below
------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Kirkman's zombie epic, "The Walking Dead," continues to simmer in its mix of claustophobia and gore. In this volume our hero, Rick, revisits his home town and confronts the darker side of what zombie-killing has done to him psychologically... He also has a one-on-one session with his potential main antagonist, a giant-sized, high-testosterone military guy who's competing with Rick for dominance of their scrappy survivor gang. The zombies are still out there as well, but just when we start to think they don't pose much danger to our well-organized heros, the tide turns when Rick and his caravan run into a dreaded, unstoppable zombie *herd*. The "Walking Dead" series seemed to be coasting a bit in previous volumes -- here it's clear that it is picking up steam, and it seems sure that something big's about to blow in issues to come. Stay tuned... and pick this one up! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)
