Though it was nice to see an Amish community featured as I’ve grown up in Pennsylvania， but Clem just wouldn’t leave AJ behind。 Even if she was struggling with PTSD， loss， and emotional pain… she fought so hard for that young boy。 I can’t see it。

It me， the fan of both The Walking Dead comics/game and Tillie Walden。Average score for this should be a full star higher， but okay nerds， miss the forest for the trees。

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 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。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！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）。The risk in the art is that Walden goes from airy and light with lots of space and a love of architecture in all her previous comics to dark and smudgy and more cramped， consistent with the dark Zombie world。 I like the art because she is good at what she does， and it works for the story and she is trying something way different for her。 But the story takes 256 pages， and is the first in a trilogy， so this for me is way too long for a zombie story where most of what we know about any zombie world is well-established。 3x 250， you do the math， ugh。 But you know， Kirkman， of the gazillion volume Walking Dead， would have no problem with epic-length story here， of course。 But there’s no real threat from the zombies， they kill “the walkers” easily。 And honestly， not much actually happens， except Walden’s typically slow-build character/relationship-building， though we do find one of the core group is not who we think they are。 This is a Walden problem in some of her work， though; long， seemingly endless stories， needing editing， though with （easily acknowledged） gorgeous rock star-level artwork。So not knowing the video game I neither am familiar with the world enough to like the character nor resent her treatment here， a wash。 Not a zombie fan， but okay。 Two stars， I say， but a star to Walden for risk-taking and trying something different， being pretty ambitious。 And I expect a lot of Walden and YA fans will like the basic story unless they know the game！ Because it is Walden， I expect the missing AJ （that I know nothing about except to read about it here as a key Clementine connection） to show up again and for it to end satisfyingly， but I can see all the one-starrers are already done with this。 。。。more

This was a nice read！ I’m a BIG fan of Clementine and the Telltale games， so it took some adjusting to see her story continue in a completely different medium。 So far， I’m not sure this story is totally necessary， but Tillie Walden explores some interesting themes that I really got into！I loved seeing Clem adapt to her new disability， and seeing it not be treated as an awful thing that happened to her。 It’s just a part of her now。 While I can accept Clem leaving the school she ended the games in This was a nice read！ I’m a BIG fan of Clementine and the Telltale games， so it took some adjusting to see her story continue in a completely different medium。 So far， I’m not sure this story is totally necessary， but Tillie Walden explores some interesting themes that I really got into！I loved seeing Clem adapt to her new disability， and seeing it not be treated as an awful thing that happened to her。 It’s just a part of her now。 While I can accept Clem leaving the school she ended the games in， I’m torn on the exclusion of AJ as her “son。” Having Clem be on her own with a new group of teens allows for us to see the effects that growing up in the zombie apocalypse as had on her without the need to be looking over AJ at the same time。 It’s a nice， new dynamic， but leaving AJ doesn’t sit right with me still， and I’d like for them to reunite by the end。I really warmed up to the new characters by the end of the book， and I’m excited to see what happens to them next。 The art style is gorgeous！ There are so many stunning shots of the Walking Dead world， and I appreciate the black and white nod to the original comics。 There are a few moments where it’s hard to tell what’s happening though， due to the style。Overall， I’m happy to see Clem again and I’m curious where the story will take her and her new friends。 This book had a lot of pressure on it and is mostly successful in getting me on board for a brand new， standalone Clementine story。 。。。more

eu imaginava que a tillie walden serviria uma história super intimista no universo de twd， voltada mais para os conflitos internos da personagem do que para grandes plots externos， e ela fez exatamente isso。 é arrebatadora a forma como ela explora as emoções da clementine ao longo da história， às vezes dando breves vislumbres de acontecimentos passados para termos uma ideia mais sólida sobre quem é a clemente — o que também acaba explicando por que ela é como é。no mais， o traço da walden é belís eu imaginava que a tillie walden serviria uma história super intimista no universo de twd， voltada mais para os conflitos internos da personagem do que para grandes plots externos， e ela fez exatamente isso。 é arrebatadora a forma como ela explora as emoções da clementine ao longo da história， às vezes dando breves vislumbres de acontecimentos passados para termos uma ideia mais sólida sobre quem é a clemente — o que também acaba explicando por que ela é como é。no mais， o traço da walden é belíssimo e combina muito bem com a narrativa geral e com a vibe mais melancólica do quadrinho （porém eu gostaria que fosse colorido como nas outras obras dela porque， aqui， acho que a arte foi um pouco prejudicada em algumas cenas devido aos tons em p&b）。 。。。more

Telltale's The Walking Dead games are easily in my top 5 favourite game series， mostly because of Clementine and how brilliantly she is written。 You can imagine how hyped I was when I found out there was a graphic novel about her coming。 I think it's fair to say that I've never pre-ordered anything quite so quickly。 And while it was entertaining enough， there is one thing that was bothering me very much whilst reading this: where is AJ？ Clem would never just leave him behind。 Yet there was no ex Telltale's The Walking Dead games are easily in my top 5 favourite game series， mostly because of Clementine and how brilliantly she is written。 You can imagine how hyped I was when I found out there was a graphic novel about her coming。 I think it's fair to say that I've never pre-ordered anything quite so quickly。 And while it was entertaining enough， there is one thing that was bothering me very much whilst reading this: where is AJ？ Clem would never just leave him behind。 Yet there was no explanation other than Clem feeling she had to leave and be alone。 Does that mean something happened to AJ and it was the last straw？ If so， it is extremely weird there is no mention of it anywhere。 If Clem really just up and left， that's a grave misunderstanding of her character。 Either way， it bothered me， and took away from the reading experience。 I will pick up the second book when it comes out， but I do hope the author will explain what happened with AJ。 That being said， there were some things I really liked， such as the tiny flashbacks to Lee， and the reference to Kenny。 Now I really want to replay the games。 。。。more

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。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 o 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。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）。Now， I will say， there are many elements that are fun， and some moments that I would've liked to see in a setting like this。 One of which being at the beginning with the Amish community （literally first-chapter stuff， so not too spoilery）。 Unfortunately though， we never do explore that community enough to get a sense as to how an Amish community functioned within an apocalypse。 Like， what advantages did they have？ What disadvantages？ That's not really answered。 Like the other cool concepts， it's thrown in there to be immediately brushed past for the next thing。 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？！There's a slew of other things， but that is the core issues。 Clementine， as a character， lives within multiple interpretations—in a different way that characters from television or books would。 Given that she is a video game character， in a choose-your-own-adventure with divergent points， she is not a character that can be bottlenecked into one thing。 So while this book can be ONE Clementine's story， this is not her story。 The fact that Skybound is pushing it like this is goes to show how much this is a cash-grab， and how much they don't respect the integrity of Telltale's prior work。 Hence the 1/5 stars， given that there were some cool concepts and moments。 。。。more

What can I say？ Clementine's story Arc from Telltale through this book is one of my favorites in all of media。 I'm here for it and I'm angry I have to wait a year for more。 My only complaint is that about three quarters in， the characters start to look the same。 Other than that。 I loved every minute。 What can I say？ Clementine's story Arc from Telltale through this book is one of my favorites in all of media。 I'm here for it and I'm angry I have to wait a year for more。 My only complaint is that about three quarters in， the characters start to look the same。 Other than that。 I loved every minute。 。。。more

I have been a fan of Clementine and her story since 2012。 While a choice based narrative makes more sense for her story， I was open minded to a book。 Unfortunately， this was incredibly poorly done。 Clementine lacks growth， responsibility， and judgement in this book， all which she had shown in season 4 of the video game。 The plot felt rushed， the callbacks to old characters is poorly executed， and art style is abysmal。 This feels more like fan fiction than a professional continuation of a charact I have been a fan of Clementine and her story since 2012。 While a choice based narrative makes more sense for her story， I was open minded to a book。 Unfortunately， this was incredibly poorly done。 Clementine lacks growth， responsibility， and judgement in this book， all which she had shown in season 4 of the video game。 The plot felt rushed， the callbacks to old characters is poorly executed， and art style is abysmal。 This feels more like fan fiction than a professional continuation of a character and story we all love。 。。。more

i have never seen an episode of the walking dead or played the game this book is based on， but instead read it because of the inclusion of an Amish character。 It was ok。 I found the plot confusing; had to go back and re-read sections several times。 The illustrations didn't help， as they were all black and white， making it hard to distinguish characters and scenes （especially with the amount of snow in this book）。 It was 10 chapters long and basically the middle third was unnecessary。 I was also i have never seen an episode of the walking dead or played the game this book is based on， but instead read it because of the inclusion of an Amish character。 It was ok。 I found the plot confusing; had to go back and re-read sections several times。 The illustrations didn't help， as they were all black and white， making it hard to distinguish characters and scenes （especially with the amount of snow in this book）。 It was 10 chapters long and basically the middle third was unnecessary。 I was also mad when I got to the end and discovered I would need to read additional installments to find out what happens。 。。。more

If you've played Telltale Games' The Walking Dead video game series， you'll be very familiar with Clementine， the series protagonist。 Clementine lived on after the end of the game， making her first post-game appearance in Clementine Lives， which featured in Skybound X along with the first chapter of Rick Grimes 2000。 Written by Tillie Walden， Clementine: Book One is Clem's first dedicated comic book series。Official SynopsisClementine is back on the road， looking to put her traumatic past beh If you've played Telltale Games' The Walking Dead video game series， you'll be very familiar with Clementine， the series protagonist。 Clementine lived on after the end of the game， making her first post-game appearance in Clementine Lives， which featured in Skybound X along with the first chapter of Rick Grimes 2000。 Written by Tillie Walden， Clementine: Book One is Clem's first dedicated comic book series。Official SynopsisClementine is back on the road， looking to put her traumatic past behind her and forge new path all her own。 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。 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。 The StoryClementine: Book One has proved controversial among fans， many of whom weren't willing to accept Clementine leaving AJ in Clementine Lives。 I think this notion was immediately put to bed in the opening pages of Clementine: Book One with Clementine meeting Amos as he embarks on Rumspringa。 Just like Amos needs to go on his voyage of self-discovery， so too must Clementine find herself in this coming of age tale。 And if that ultimately leads her back to AJ， then so be it。The ArtI'm not going to lie， the artwork was disappointing。 I'd been drawn in by the gorgeous， eye-catching cover and was dismayed to see the grey， bland pages inside。 I'm also a little annoyed - they'd ultimately reissued The Walking Dead comics in colour， so haven't they learned that fans prefer colour？VerdictI wanted to love this comic with all of my heart but sadly the artwork let it down。 It’s not just about aesthetics – there were scenes that I had to read once， twice more to try understand what was happening because it wasn’t clear from either the text nor graphics。 This was most evident in what could be described as the most important scene in the book， one where there shouldn’t have been a shred of ambiguity。 I think Clementine: Book One could be saved with a colour re-issue but even then they might need to enhance some artwork or dialogue。Stan ZoneRecommended if you like: The Walking Dead， zombies， post-apocalypticaBlog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook 。。。more

A walking dead book done by acclaimed comic creator Tillie Walden？ Sign me up。 Intriguing， curious how folks unfamiliar with Walking Dead or the video game will react to the book。 Pretty standard zombie story that focuses on teens who have lived in the post zombie apocalypse for years。 Doesn’t quite all come together but this is book one。

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。Things I hated: AJ wasn't in it and she barely thought of him and never mentioned him 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。Things I hated: AJ wasn't in it and she barely thought of him and never mentioned him to the others。 Clementine would never！ 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。 Things I loved: Clementine naming her prosthetic （view spoiler）[after Kenny （hide spoiler）]。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 Things I mostly didn't like: I don't think we spent enough time with the other characters to know them properly。 Overall， it could have been good， but it wasn't。 I didn't hate it as much as I feared （it had redeeming qualities）， but it wasn't great。 I'm just disappointed because the games were so great。 I wish this story had just been another Telltale game， I know it could have been great （I mean， other than her LEAVING）。 I'll probably read book two to know what happens next， but I can't see myself recommending it。 。。。more

I played the first two seasons of TWD game， and I loved them。 Clementine was a great character， so I was excited to revisit her。 That said， I think this direction with the character will make longtime fans of the games angry because it does kind of stand alone from her previous character arc。 Yes， this references the previous stuff briefly， but it's very new reader friendly。 My main complaint is that this book is boring and none of the new characters are very good。 The art is nice， but sometimes I played the first two seasons of TWD game， and I loved them。 Clementine was a great character， so I was excited to revisit her。 That said， I think this direction with the character will make longtime fans of the games angry because it does kind of stand alone from her previous character arc。 Yes， this references the previous stuff briefly， but it's very new reader friendly。 My main complaint is that this book is boring and none of the new characters are very good。 The art is nice， but sometimes it was hard to tell what was happening。 The dialogue bubbles also covered way too much of the panels too often。 The seemingly budding f/f romance between Clementine and a new girl character is awesome for representation but not very interesting。 I feel like this book could have been fantastic， but it was only just okay。 I think making it a trilogy from the get-go is a mistake because this feels like 1/3 of a larger story， and it just kind of ends with no real resolution。 There's some good moments， it was nice revisiting Clem， and the art style is generally nice， but I'm not sure who this book is for， and it may struggle to find its audience。 2。5/5 stars。 。。。more
