Clementine Book One

Product Information

Clementine is woken up the next morning by an Amish boy named Amos heading off on his Rumspringa. She chases after him and alerts him that walkers are behind him. After killing the walkers with his axe, Amos asks Clementine where she is headed. She tells him she is travelling north and he informs her he is also travelling north. They travel together and Amos reveals that he is going to Killington in Vermont to build a homestead on the mountain where he will be awarded with a plane ride after the job is completed. They travel together in Amos' buggy into the night where they hear people calling for help, Amos helps the family into his buggy and Clementine drives them all to safety. While Clementine is asleep, one of the people they saved tries to assault Clementine. She holds a knife to his head and then stomps on his hand with her prosthetic foot before leaving. Amos chases after Clementine on his horse and asks her to come with him to Vermont. I think Clementine's decision to leave him behind at the school makes a lot of sense. Clementine didn't leave him behind because she didn't care for him anymore. She left behind because she is a deeply traumatised kid who doesn't know the difference between living and surviving. It is unfair to expect her to be his mother. The moment she knew AJ was safe in the community, she felt like her job looking after him was done. She returned to wandering the roads alone because fighting to survive is all she knows. In one scene, Clementine tells another survivor that when she isn't fighting to survive, she is so bored. In another scene, we see that Clementine has almost forgotten how to read. Her memories of her old life are fading. All that remains is trauma, guilt, frustration and a deep sense of loss. Who is Clementine if she is not fighting to survive? Cooper, Hollander; McGarvey, Sterling (31 August 2012). "The Walking Dead game review". GamesRadar. Future Publishing Limited. Archived from the original on 24 February 2013 . Retrieved 7 December 2012. 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 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.

Clementine goes to a barn to rest for the night, where she has a nightmare about Lee dropping her during an escape from zombies. She wakes up and decides to travel during the night. The next morning, as she gathers water, she hearing an argument between three Amish girls. Clementine attempts to leave unnoticed, but her period comes, causing her to scream out. Joy holds Clementine at gunpoint, as she attempts to leave again. After, Clementine explains the situation, they take notice of her prosthetic and invite her to their town. One of the girls asks Clementine her name and she hesitantly responds. Another one introduces herself as " Meredith". They take Clementine to the entrance of their community, where one of the girls' father takes Clementine through the entrance procedure. After she's done, she meets up with Meredith who gives her a tour of the town and takes her to Rabby. He makes a new prosthetic leg for Clementine while telling her his story. Clementine decides to leave the town and sleeps in a tree, saying she'll have to think of a name for her new prosthetic. 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. Dominguez, Noah (July 2, 2020).

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. Still, I want to give credit to the young comics icon Tillie Walden, known for intensely emo comics almost exclusively focused on lesbian teens, in working with Robert Kirkman on this sequel. Totally surprised me. Walden and Zombies?! The author of the memoir comics story of her figure-skating youth in Spinning?! And I have read most of what she has done, which is a lot, she’s incredibly prolific. In most of her comics it’s all about the feels, grumpy teens, with few people knowing how to speak their minds: It’s young people, it’s generally YA, which she basically was herself for most of her comics career so far!

‘Cat’s Cradle: The Golden Twine’ introduces a cozy and compelling new fantasy world

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 friendship, rivalry, and romance begin to blossom amongst the group, the harsh winter soon reveals that the biggest threat to their survival…might be each other. Today we revealed a moving new look at CLEMENTINE BOOK ONE, beginning a new Young Adult graphic novel trilogy set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s THE WALKING DEAD, from award-winning writer/artist Tillie Walden (Spinning, On A Sunbeam). 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.

Schedeen, Jesse (April 13, 2021). "The Walking Dead: Telltale's Clementine to Make Her Comic Book Debut in Skybound X". IGN . Retrieved April 13, 2021. It’s been nearly twenty years of Walking Dead media. From its original comic book, the franchise has moved into television, animation, and, reportedly, future feature films. It has been board games, card games, and tabletop miniature games. It has been both video games and novels; it’s even a theme park ride. 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?! This section describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective.

Collected Editions

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.” 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]

I also had a shit time telling what was going on in a lot of the images and had to guess a lot based on the text. 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). 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. Nothing is known about Amos' life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he lived the Amish lifestyle. Goldfarb, Andrew (2013-07-20).
