Vol. 10 What We Become (Issues #55–60)

NOTABLES

• The volume starts off with Rick having a dream about life before The Zombie Apocalypse. It ends with him kissing Lori and her turning into a walker. (If you have kept up with the deleted scenes from Season 3 of the TV show, you will recognize this scene.) The dream ends with Lori eating Rick, and he feels he deserves the die. 
• Rick is continuing to talk to Lori over the phone. Even though, he knows he is hallucinating.
• When getting supplies from an abandoned town, Eugene noticed one of the walker behaving abnormally. It's showed significant loss of strength compared to all the walkers they'd encountered.
• Maggie is in the woods for a long time; so Glenn decided to check on her. He finds Maggie hanging from a tree, by her neck. There's a big debate on rather or not they should kill her now. Of course Glenn and Abe are the main ones arguing, until Rick steps in. Eventually, Maggie wakes up just before Abe puts a bullet between her eyes. 
• Abe threatens to kill Rick next he pulls a gun on him. Rick makes note of it and may decide to kill him next he has to pull a gun on Abe.
• Apparently, Abe has killed a living human before. He confessed to Rosita that after his argument with Rick he has been tempted to kill him. He's full of rage.
• Abe and Rosita have a "love connection".
• Rick suggests they should make a trip back to his hometown for supplies at the locked police station. On the way they run into another group who tries to loot them. During the altercation on of the men try to rape Carl. This sends Rick into crazy mode and he bites a chunk out of a man's neck; and stabs the other to death. 
• During the supply run Abe tells Rick how he lost his family. After Abe found six men raped his wife and daughter; he basically tore them apart, literally, with his bare hands. This scared his family and they left him. 
• Rick, Carl, and Abe also run into Morgan during the supply run. Morgan's son, Duane, has become a walker. There is a parallel between the comic and TV show. On the show Morgan is struggling to let go of his wife - shoot her in the head. In the comic Morgan is struggling with the death of Duane. Rick tries to convince him to "let Duane rest" by shooting him in the head. 
• Morgan decides to join Rick's group. He also lied to Rick about shooting Duane in the head. He actually just freed Duane by shooting the chain held him captive.
• On the way back to camp Rick, Carl, Abe, and Morgan literally run into a herd of walkers. While trying to plow through the walkers they hit another car head on, which propels Abe into to herd.
• Dale is trying to convince Andrea to stay put and make a stationary camp. After the information Abe told them about the herds she is hesitant about Dales idea.
• This volume ends with the whole group fleeing from the herd. It is obvious that Dale has a grudge against Rick and his decisions.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

• As much as an asshole Abe is, he makes a lot of sense. It seems harsh and mean but I would want him watching my back in this situation.
• It seems that Maggie and Andrea switch roles in the comic, or TV show which ever way you view it. In the TV show Andrea is suicidal and wants to die at the CDC. In the comic Maggie attempts to hang herself. 
• Abe is so hilarious. In the same breath he compliments Rick and threatens to kill him. 
• I cannot wait until I start to see the real bad ass Rick in the TV show. I guess he took a hint from Michonne and doesn't mind biting people. 
• Morgan is definitely as crazy as he is portrayed in the TV show. 
• At first I was becoming irritated by Dale's stubborness; but now I'm realizing why he is that way. He's lost a leg and is an old man. He also made a good point, Rick seems to bring a lot of danger around to the group.
