THE LIZ

Discussion: Re-Walking - THE WALKING DEAD #9 (SPOILERS!)

For those of you that have the trades & hardcovers and don't know where
#9 begins and where it ends. 

It starts with a morning exterior shot of the house the group is sleeping

inside.

The issue ends with a splash page of Rick holding a gun to Otis's head screaming,

"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL F*CKING KILL YOU!"

NOTE:
Please keep the thread only about the subject of the issue. Talk about
writing, art, what you liked, what you didn't like. Re-Reading is a great way
to pass the time between issues.
 
Thanks!  

The absolute best cover of any comic book. Which issue is this in the trades?

I believe it's the second trade. Greatest cover in the series ever! 

Otis shoots Carl, pretty shocking stuff. Did anyone else forget that Otis was even a character?

He was really under developed as a character. Kirkman just made him angry white guy and killed him off in between issues. 

My favorite comic cover of all times.  Otis was really a pointless character for me. I disliked him from the first moment and he never really stood out.  He was such a minor character that his death is just a faint memory.

He was one of the few characters that seemed like Kirkman didn't take any time to flesh-out and make him likeable.

The twins had more development in the end. Granted it was in about 2 Issue they got interesting then ... POOF! 

 I thought somthing was going to happen with Otis being a racist. I think Kirkman killed him off eariler the he planed to.

The one thing I did not like about this issue was the way Carl was drawn when he was shot. Don't get me wrong I got choked up when he got shot but, something about the way he was drawn botherd me.

Yeah something about it just looked...weird.

It was a creepy picture of the shooting.

When I was reading this part of the trade I was right there along with Rick saying "Oh Fuck" when the zombies started pouring out of Wilshire Estates. This is the first issue where something like a herd appears in the series isn't it? I don't count the zombies in Atlanta because they were all just sitting there.

It could be debated. But I think you're right. They where frozen in mass and thawed out in mass.
