A fairly mild bit of zombie horror spun off from Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead, this graphic novel is actually a sequel to a series of Telltale video games (that I haven't seen) where the Clementine character first appeared. It's one of those stories where the zombies are secondary to the emotional horror of sharing a small space with living people on top of a snowy mountain peak.Disconnected from the overwhelming mythology of 193 issues of comics or 131 hours of television (discounting spinoffs in both genres), The Walking Dead games were more compact, more urgent. There wasn’t a lot of room for straying from the most powerful and concise narratives, characters, or jarring plot developments. As a continuation, it honestly reads as someone's first fanfiction. Clementine doesn't read as Clementine, not through her actions, her characterization—not even her dialogue. Clementine in this book is angsty, but not in a way that is in-character. Season Three's Clementine already showed an angsty Clementine who doesn't trust people: she's more like spitfire than this husk. Now, I get that characters can react to different situations in different ways, but this is the best way for me to explain the gist of my issues with her characterization without spoiling: she doesn't read as Clementine, we've already done this arc, why couldn't we see something, oh I don't know, new?! TILLIE WALDEN is the future. Her boldly authentic voice brings new heights to the world of The Walking Dead.”—ROBERT KIRKMAN.

Removed from Telltale's The Walking Dead, this is fine. A 3/5 at most. There's pacing issues, and many of the panels are hard to read visually, so it takes a buffering moment to actually understand what is going on. This should not have been greyscale as I think Walden's work leans into the use of color. If she had, I think the legibility of the story would've been a lot better. That, and the quality of this story really takes a toll given that it feels rushed—which explains a lot of the pacing issues, as well as awkward character beats (rushed development, for instance).

Clementine meets a young boy while on the road and decides to tag along on the boy's journey up a Vermont mountain for contrived reasons, which leads to her helping a society of teenagers build houses on said mountains. No really, I kid you not. If you are wondering why AJ isn’t with her, well you should have read Skybound X true believer. That’s the issue where she leaves him for no good reason! The writer says it’s because Clementine isn’t happy, but this book and that issue never justified that reason or made it feel like a valid one. I’m usually fine with writers not telling the readers everything, but Clementine's story was already complete, so you have to give us a justification for this story existing or it just comes across as hollow and forced. A little while later, Olivia successfully removes the bullet from Ricca's torso. While the two try to get some sleep, Clementine goes to take a look around and finds a cat.

Please just get the original writers of the Telltale game series to do a 5th game. If you wish to use Clem in a comic then at least have them be a part of it. That said I would much prefer a 5th game though am happy with how Season 4 ended. Ayres, Andrea (October 11, 2020). "What's next for Walking Dead? More of Telltale's Clementine, says Robert Kirkman". Polygon . Retrieved October 12, 2020. Then, it becomes clear that this zombie world makes sense for Walden: Teens on a road to recovery (from trauma) and self-discovery. They don’t know who they are, and they don’t know what their relationships are to each other. So it’s YA lit. And on the representation front, key for Walden, it still involves lesbian teens, adding Clementine as disabled, and. . . a boy (!), Amos, who’s Amish, on Rumspringa, so they’re all “on the road to find out” (Cat Stevens). PORTLAND, Ore 11/01/2021 — Image/Skybound today revealed an extra-length first look at Clementine Book One, beginning a trilogy set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead, from award-winning writer/artist Tillie Walden ( Spinning, On A Sunbeam).

With the game's second season, Clementine becomes the playable character, a choice that allowed them to continue the themes of the first season while introducing new characters and situations for the second. [7] [8] Telltale was first challenged to try to make Clementine feel like the character that the player, through making decisions as Lee, had groomed. One method this was resolved by was to create the first scenario of the game to put the player in control of Clementine's actions that have disastrous results (the death of one character and being separated from another) as to make the player felt as if they had made those choices and separating them from familiar characters. Further, they had to consider how to present Clementine as a character that could make substantial changes on the world and characters around her despite being a child.
