Schedeen, Jesse (November 1, 2021). "The Walking Dead: Clementine Book One - Exclusive Graphic Novel Preview". IGN . Retrieved November 1, 2021. 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?! Season 3 ( A New Frontier ) Takes place some years after Season 2. The story mainly follows Javier García. Clementine is also a playable character. The game takes place a few years after the second season, where several events have occurred to her depending on which ending the player chooses in it. She will have a scar on her forehead, a scar on her left cheek, an "AJ" brand on her left hand or a missing left ringfinger depending on which of the events occur. She currently tends to AJ, now a toddler. [19] Polygon Staff (November 27, 2019). "The 70 best video game characters of the decade". Polygon. Archived from the original on January 1, 2020 .

Clementine and her group continues their journey on foot after their plane crash in Cape Breton Island. Clementine, who had laying around a house roof with Ricca, Olivia and Dr. Barnwell insist to continue to hit the coast. The next morning, The group spot a rabbit, which Ricca give a chase, only to it have taken by the herd of walkers, forcing Clementine and her group escape and cover themselves in walker guts. As they continued their journey, They encountered two French group who grab Olivia hostages, but they manage to rescue her and escaped.I don’t know, something in me changed after I got bit. I ignored it for a while but it keeps growing. This idea that I...I was going to live. And not just day by day like I had been. I could live for months...years...that I might be an adult someday, like my mom was. I don't know why but it scared me so much. So much that it felt like I couldn’t breathe.”

I'm keeping this spoiler-free because, frankly, I don't care about this story enough to give it that—a full-fledged review. Because I'm tired, and it's evident to me that this whole thing is a mere cash-grab on Skybound's part, and that Tillie was hired for something out of her element. Clementine is introduced in the first season as a young girl, left in the care of her babysitter Sandra while her parents are out of town, at the start of the zombie apocalypse. She is found and cared for by Lee Everett, another survivor, who tries to help her find her parents, and becomes a father-figure to her, teaching her how to survive. Lee is eventually bitten, and after a tearful goodbye, Clementine travels with other groups. Over several years, she becomes a guardian to Alvin Jr. (AJ for short), a child whose parents died in the apocalypse, and comes to raise him as Lee did with her. In her dream on the train, a young Clementine talks to Lee and asks him "will the pain ever stop", while remembering having to shoot him and remembers Amos. They travel together for nine days and finally arrive at the base of the mountain, where they are met with twin sisters who won't tell them their names. Clementine doesn't trust them and tells Amos she's staying with him. They ride a ski lift to the top where they meet a girl named Ricca. She informs Clem that she's been calling the twin with the ponytail Right, and the twin with her down Left. The twins tell them that they only have a cabin and shed left standing from last winter and that they want to build three new structures and a cleared road by the end of winter. They all settle down in the cabin for the night but are woken up by an avalanche hitting their cabin, putting a hole in their roof. When I first heard there was going to be a Clementine book, I was cautiously hyped. I really enjoyed the games and loved the stories they told and the characters they brought to the table. Then I heard that AJ wouldn't be in the comics and I lost a lot of my hopes for it. Clementine would never leave him behind so the entire concept was flawed and bad. I got a review copy through Edelweiss though, so I read it.Telltale had intended for The Walking Dead: The Final Season to be their final game featuring Clementine. As they were in the midst of developing and releasing this season, the studio suffered from a major financial crisis, forcing them to lay off nearly all of their staff and shutter existing projects. On this news, Robert Kirkman and others at Skybound Entertainment considered how they could finish the game, as Kirkman felt it was necessary to complete Clementine's story. Skybound brought in a portion of the former Telltale staff that had been working on The Final Season to complete the remaining episodes. [10] [11] In the one-shot spin-off "Negan Lives" comic published in July 2020, Kirkman ended the comic with a letter to the series fans, closing it with "P.S. Clementine Lives", which was taken as a hint that Kirkman may be involved with a means of re-introducing Clementine to The Walking Dead world. [12] [13] Kirkman again alluded to a possible future work involving Clementine at the 2020 virtual New York Comic Con. [14] An issue of Image Comics' Skybound X, featuring stories from various Skybound properties, including one story around Clementine in The Walking Dead universe, was published in July 2021. [15] These narrative concerns are never overblown; Walden seems incapable of working with anything but subtlety. Under her care, Clementine is a book that all but refutes its own franchise; there are no screaming madmen, no cannibals or prison wardens or obvious societal metaphors here. The bloody violence is restricted, literally buried in snow, and the titular dead are mere setting context. Instead, Clementine is honest, personal, and resonant, a story that speaks to the reader rather than at them. I thought that Tillie Walden did a great job with Clementine: Book One. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and see where Clementine's travels take her next. Clementine eventually soon wake up and was greeted by Olivia, who told her that they had been saved by Emi. Olivia also reveals to Clementine that she has been unconscious for one month and her legs got infected as well. Olivia takes Clementine in a wheelchair and it was reveals that they are taken to Magdalen Islands, a remote island community led by Anne Morro, an enigmatic doctor. They soon reunited with Ricca where she attended a birthday party. There, Ricca introduces Clementine to the residents of the island, including Emi, John, Amir, Shu-Fen, Ginette, Giles, and Mercy.

So today I'm going to talk about clementine next comic and why the story is garbage, but first, let's see what we got. Hamilton, Kirk (27 April 2012).

Tillie Walden is a fine enough illustrator, but I’ve never read much of her other work to judge her writing. It’s not appallingly bad here or anything, it just isn’t all that good either. It’s just serviceable. You can tell this is also a book geared at teenagers, which is usually fine, but a lot of the dialogue is just so whiny at points. I did like some of the more emotional moments, but it didn’t help the only person I care about in this whole book is Clementine. Amos and Ricca were cool I guess, but I just never got too attached to either, even if they are likable and written well. I’m also really confused on how all these teenagers are so effective at killing zombies. I get they grew up in the apocalypse, but these kids are killing walkers with next to no effort. The story falls flat as well, and every other review on here sums up why better than I could, but the summary should be a big hint. It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and the ending felt surreal in the worst possible way. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Wallace, Kimberley (January 2013). "Creating Clementine".

I’m certain longtime fans will have a lot to say about that — there are lists about the best episodes, the scariest issues; closer at hand (and more germane to this conversation) are the critical darling adventure games from now-defunct Telltale Games, from which the character of Clementine originates.

Within the present of A New Frontier, Clementine had become a member of the New Frontier, but was exiled after stealing medicine from the group's doctor in an attempt to save a deathly ill AJ, a history she keeps quiet from others. She rescues Javier while trying to acquire a working vehicle and stays with him to help rescue his family at a nearby junkyard. They get into a conflict with other members of the New Frontier, and ultimately Clementine and Javier are forced to travel to Richmond, a fortified town that has been taken over by the New Frontier. Clementine helps Javier to assure his family's well-being and defuse the issues with the New Frontier and other survivor outposts. She learns that AJ is being kept at a ranch outside of town, and takes her leave to recover him.
