The Walking Dead, Vol. 9: Here We Remain by Robert Kirkman

5.0

This one picks up right where the last one ended. The prison has been overrun and they all had to leave, and they were all separated. I was fangirling over how similar this volume was to the show. It was probably the most accurate out of all the volumes I've read so far. Especially seeing Rick and Carl off on their own, Rick passing out for a couple of days because he's sick, and Carl blaming Rick for everything that happened. Then Carl thinking Rick turned into a zombie, it was so amazing! It was JUST like the show it made me so happy. We also finally get introduced to Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene which is also exciting! The way they meet in the comics is slightly different than how they meet in the show. I really like Abraham's character, he cracks me up.

I thought it was a little too easy for the entire group to be reunited as easily as they were after all the shit at the prison. I feel lie that's why in the tv show they spent nearly half a season of showing the characters try to find their way back to each other. It seems unrealistic that they would all just run into each other on the street, but then again Hershel's farm is still intact and that's where they all ended up going and meeting again. I think it's funny how they met Abraham and all them just because they pulled up onto Hershel's farm looking for supplies.

My favorite part of this volume was the last scene with Rick and Carl, when Rick gave him the incredibly famous speech saying: "You are not safe. No matter how man people are around you, or how clear the area looks. It only takes a second and it's over." It's so iconic and amazing because it's almost word for word exactly how it is in the show and I love when that happens!
