Clementine Book One

Product Information

You find people... you survive together, as long as you can. But you're really just waiting, killing time until it falls apart. And falling apart isn't always something that happens, it's a feeling. A feeling that makes you want to run..."

Clementine is introduced when Lee Everett takes shelter in her suburban home in Georgia to find refuge from zombies (referred to in-universe as walkers). She is revealed to be hiding from the walkers alone in a tree house as her parents had left for Savannah some time before the apocalypse. Lee offers to take and protect Clementine, hoping that they will be able to find her parents. 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. TILLIE WALDEN is the future. Her boldly authentic voice brings new heights to the world of The Walking Dead." —ROBERT KIRKMAN Scalzo, John (16 November 2012). "2012 Spike TV Video Game Awards nominees announced". Warp Zoned.

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.

Things that I mostly liked: Ricca was a good new character that I want to know more about. The art style was mostly pleasant to look at despite being hard to decipher more frequently than I'd want. The overall story is So I am not the ideal reviewer of this series for a number of reasons; 1) I am seemingly one of the few comics readers in the world who has not read The Walking Dead (okay, maybe two volumes, then I stopped) nor seen the tv series; 2) I am not a gamer, so have no familiarity with the Telltale Walking Dead video game featuring Clementine, though I have become aware of the controversy about ripping out the hearts of all players who liked how the Clementine game had (previously) ended, and 3) I am not really a fan of zombie comics.

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]

I appreciated the discussions on Clem's prosthetics and Ricca's glasses. As always, Walden's art is gorgeous (even with the zombies). 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] As they flee, Kenny's girlfriend Sarita is bit by a walker and dies. When they regroup, Kenny is distraught and refuses to talk to anyone, but he is convinced to help Rebecca give birth to her baby, which is later named Alvin Jr. or AJ. Jane takes interest in Clementine, and like Lee before, helps to teach her some survival skills. The group continues northward despite Rebecca's worsening health. They are ambushed by a group of Russian immigrants, leading to a Mexican standoff. Clementine sees that Rebecca has succumbed to exhaustion and blood loss from the birth, has died but is now re-animating as a walker, and she or Kenny are forced to shoot her to save AJ. This sets off the gunfight, but the group manages to kill the other Russians, and they force the sole Russian survivor, named Arvo, to take them to shelter. As they cross a frozen lake, their added weight causes the ice to break and one of their members, Luke, to fall through and drown. Chapter Four" of Book Two reveals that Olivia is pregnant with Amos' child, thus making Amos the youngest father in The Walking Dead franchise.

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.

But when she comes across an Amish teenager named Amos with his head in the clouds, the unlikely pair journeys North to an abandoned ski resort in Vermont, where they meet up with a small group of teenagers attempting to build a new, walker-free settlement. 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.
