Walking Dead Vols. 8-10 / Robert Kirkman /300 pgs.


Walking Dead Vol. 8: Made to Suffer
Walking Dead Vol. 9: Here we Remain
Walking Dead Vol. 10: What we Become


In volume 8, the townspeople of Woodbury finally attack the main group that are holed up at the prison.  A few of the main characters are killed off (I won't say who, but like the TV show says "no one is safe").  After a strong fight, the survivors have to split up and flee the prison.

Volume 9, follows characters Rick and Carl (okay, so I guess they live) as they are on the run.  Rick is seriously injured and he and Carl spend a few days locked in a house trying to recover.  As Rick is going in and out of consciousness, his mental state also deteriorates and he begins talking to characters who have passed on earlier in the story.  The volume ends with Rick and Carl meeting back up with the others and encountering a new group of survivors, which is good since their numbers are really dwindling.

Volume 10, Rick, Carl, and new guy ex-military Abraham go on a side mission to return to Rick's hometown so they can unlock the police station and gather supplies.  The group is attacked along the way, first by a band of humans who are just out to rob them of their supplies and then later by a horde of zombies (never a dull moment in these books).  The main point of this volume is learning about Abraham's back story and the following discussion between him and Rick about survival and what you are willing/not willing to do in order to stay alive.
