Does some good plot and character development, all around a good volume. ( )

The story still has me hooked and wanting to read more. I can feel the story building and setting up for another climax.

And thus, people finally begin to question the validity of Rick's decision making skills. Yes, this should have happened sooner, but can you really blame them considering the trauma they've all been through? One of the things I enjoy about these comics is the fallible nature of Rick - of all the characters, really. It helps ground the books a bit more in reality than they otherwise might have been.

Also, cheers to the last two books having really developed Carl beyond simply a motivating factor for all Rick does. The Plague had to have affected children and their development drastically - now it seems like the books are addressing that. The scene with the twins, while something small and something I guess a lot of kids have curiosity about struck me as downright chilling...

All in all this was a good addition to the series, even if it all seemed a bit rushed. Also, the herds were far more terrifying drawn than they were described in certain, ahem, novelizations. ( )

I liked this one better than Vol. 9. We got to learn about Abraham's past, Rick going berserk after being attacked by scavengers and Rick finding a crazy Morgan towards the end. It seems to be picking up again since their very long stay at the prison. Definitely different than the show and for that I like because I get to see two sides of TWD. Looking forward to the next book! ( )

So the group is on the road again, the reader is confronted with attempted child rape, a herd of roamers, suicide attempts and the horror of discovering whole families that have killed each other rather then deal with the apocalypse. Morgan is also back, though without his son and understandably with a few screws loose. It's just all so demented.

The kids are also cracking, and Dale is starting to annoy me. Hope he dies soon. I can't wait to find out what happens when they reach Washington. Is Eugene the answer to this whole mess? Can't wait to find out soon!
