I don’t know any other TWD content， so I wasn’t familiar with Clementine’s character before reading this。 I can’t say I liked her （or any of the characters）。The plot was a mess。 I lost track of what was going on on multiple occasions。I didn’t particularly like the art style。 The black and grey colour scheme did fit the mood of the book， but it was too dark so some scenes were barely… readable？Side note: The ARC edition I got wasn’t completed。 Only about half of the pages were fully coloured in， I don’t know any other TWD content， so I wasn’t familiar with Clementine’s character before reading this。 I can’t say I liked her （or any of the characters）。The plot was a mess。 I lost track of what was going on on multiple occasions。I didn’t particularly like the art style。 The black and grey colour scheme did fit the mood of the book， but it was too dark so some scenes were barely… readable？Side note: The ARC edition I got wasn’t completed。 Only about half of the pages were fully coloured in， and while there was a note from the publisher that they would be completely coloured by the release date， I don’t quite get why they didn’t just wait with the release of ARCs until the book was completely done。[I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。] 。。。more

Bit of a rough start for me but once it get going and the characters set in， that's when the Tillie Walden comes out。 Some gut wrenching passages that tie into all of the games， from the first to the last。 It's cool to see that it's actually a passion project and not just a cash grab。 Looking forward to part 2！ Bit of a rough start for me but once it get going and the characters set in， that's when the Tillie Walden comes out。 Some gut wrenching passages that tie into all of the games， from the first to the last。 It's cool to see that it's actually a passion project and not just a cash grab。 Looking forward to part 2！ 。。。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

Note: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。This story picks up after the end of Season 4 of Telltale's Walking Dead series， and with that it carries not only the canon of Kirkman's original comic， but the branching narrative of four games。 It， pretty remarkably， works no matter what choices you made in the games， but where it misses is nailing Clem's personality。 It's almost there， but not quite。The plot is good， so I won't tell you about it。I liked the artwor Note: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。This story picks up after the end of Season 4 of Telltale's Walking Dead series， and with that it carries not only the canon of Kirkman's original comic， but the branching narrative of four games。 It， pretty remarkably， works no matter what choices you made in the games， but where it misses is nailing Clem's personality。 It's almost there， but not quite。The plot is good， so I won't tell you about it。I liked the artwork but Clem and another important black character look like white people， and that doesn't sit right with me。 Ultimately， it ends up satisfying， but has room for improvement。 。。。more

The story really showcases the effects of years after the zombie apocalypse， in a way I don’t know that other stories have， like the socialization skills of teens， their learning differences， and I really loved seeing that。 It makes SENSE for a girl who was eight when the world ended， who never really went to school， who's been through so much loss and trauma to have difficulties with these things。 At the same time it also showcases the power of grief and how it can last seemingly forever， which The story really showcases the effects of years after the zombie apocalypse， in a way I don’t know that other stories have， like the socialization skills of teens， their learning differences， and I really loved seeing that。 It makes SENSE for a girl who was eight when the world ended， who never really went to school， who's been through so much loss and trauma to have difficulties with these things。 At the same time it also showcases the power of grief and how it can last seemingly forever， which really rings true and I feel those dealing with grief will really be able to relate too。 It’s also got great representation– from queer rep， to disability rep， to Jewish rep， to even Amish representation （which I don’t know if I’ve ever seen before in YA）。 It’s a solid story， but the end isn’t super strong。 Also， I think it probably needs backstory from the games to really understand Clem as a character， where her perspective on life comes from， etc。 That being said， I HAVE most of that knowledge， so I really enjoyed this 。。。more

Thank you Edelweiss and Diamond Books for giving me a chance to read this upcoming first book in Clementine's new journey。 I love The Walking Dead， and I can't begin to tell you how many times I played and replayed the first three seasons of the Telltale game series。 Clementine's journey has always been so compelling to me and when I read in the "P。S。 Clementine lives" in Robert Kirkman's Letter Hacks at the end of the Negan Lives one-shot， I wondered what would come next in her story， and here Thank you Edelweiss and Diamond Books for giving me a chance to read this upcoming first book in Clementine's new journey。 I love The Walking Dead， and I can't begin to tell you how many times I played and replayed the first three seasons of the Telltale game series。 Clementine's journey has always been so compelling to me and when I read in the "P。S。 Clementine lives" in Robert Kirkman's Letter Hacks at the end of the Negan Lives one-shot， I wondered what would come next in her story， and here we are。 One thing that I will say going into this book， I wished I had finished my playthrough of the final season of the Telltale game prior to reading this book， as I do feel like there were some things spoiled for me here。 That's on me， I should've known better， and I should've finished it already。 I think Tillie Walden did a great job of capturing Clem's sense of humor and some essential call backs to the Telltale series。 I look forward to seeing where this journey goes， and re-reading this volume when it comes to physical print。 。。。more

Skybound completely butchered this series。 The art style is horrible and the storyline is even worse。 The entire plot of this comic is that Clementine leaves AJ behind because she isn't "happy" even though she fought and risked her life for the school and her home in the games。 They now announced that there may be a potential new love interest， meaning the ones in the games didn't matter to her。 Don't support Skybound by buying this book。 Skybound completely butchered this series。 The art style is horrible and the storyline is even worse。 The entire plot of this comic is that Clementine leaves AJ behind because she isn't "happy" even though she fought and risked her life for the school and her home in the games。 They now announced that there may be a potential new love interest， meaning the ones in the games didn't matter to her。 Don't support Skybound by buying this book。 。。。more

A few years ago I was sent an unsolicited review copy of Tillie Walden’s memoir Spinning。 It was about how she found out she was gay and did figure skating。 I think she was 22 when she produced this “memoir”， not much older than she was in the book itself。 This is why memoirs are usually suited for people who have lived a life or had some extraordinary experience， neither of which applies to Spinning。 It’d be like if I ate a bagel， stared into the middle distance and then wrote a 400 page book a A few years ago I was sent an unsolicited review copy of Tillie Walden’s memoir Spinning。 It was about how she found out she was gay and did figure skating。 I think she was 22 when she produced this “memoir”， not much older than she was in the book itself。 This is why memoirs are usually suited for people who have lived a life or had some extraordinary experience， neither of which applies to Spinning。 It’d be like if I ate a bagel， stared into the middle distance and then wrote a 400 page book about it。 I read about half of it （it actually was 400 pages long！）， laughed at how utterly inane and empty Spinning was and tossed it into the book donation bag I give to my local charity shop when it’s full。 As unimpressed as I was with Walden’s comic （because of Spinning I hadn’t bothered looking at any of her other comics， even if one of them won an Eisner - I find awards rarely denote quality and tend to reward politics）， I decided to check out her latest， Clementine， Book One， purely because it’s a Walking Dead spinoff （all things considered， I’m a fan of Robert Kirkman’s series - yes there was a lotta crap but also a lotta good）。 Well， that’s what I get for not doing any research because it turns out Clementine is a spinoff of The Walking Dead… Telltale game， not Kirkman’s comics series。 Ugh… For those of you who don’t know what Telltale games were， they were an unholy mashup of point and click games and animated movies， that neither satisfied as a game or a movie。 The experience was like watching an extended cut scene that occasionally prompted you to press “X” - that was often the “game” aspect。 I played about 30 minutes of the Batman Telltale game， was bored the whole time， quit and never played it again。 You’ll be shocked to know that this godawful format didn’t go the distance and Telltale went bankrupt a while ago。 So I didn’t play the Walking Dead Telltale game and I have no idea who Clementine is or why anyone cares; I’m clearer now about who she is but remain baffled as to the caring part。 In this book she’s a moody teen amputee who meets an Amish kid called Amos whose rumspringa involves travelling to a Vermont mountain and helping strangers build a house or something and getting a plane ride in return。 Clem tags along because plot。 The story is never once interesting。 You’d think an amputee might struggle with fending off the zombie hordes but， no， Clem manages just fine。 I mean， if the zombies are that easy to get rid of and serve zero purpose， they may as well not be there。 Clem and Amos are joined by a pair of twins and a girl with glasses and， after a certain point， they all start to look the same - even Amos - and， coupled with Walden’s downright abysmal storytelling， I found that a major character had somehow died or wandered off a number of pages previously and I didn’t even notice！ All of the characters are uninteresting nobodies - they’re all moody teens， hooray… - and， again because plot， one of the characters goes bad for no reason and that’s the finale: some dumb scuffle between idiots over nothing。 So many of the panels are crammed with overstuffed word balloons and still the story came off murky and unengaging - that’s how bad a writer Walden is。 Clementine， Book One is a dismal comic that I wouldn’t recommend to anyone， least of all Walking Dead fans - if anything， this book will give you a new appreciation for even the worst books in Kirkman’s run， which were never as mind-numbingly dull as this。 。。。more

Why would you even make a book about a game you never played。 You ruined her character she literally lives for AJ and she would never leave him so that makes no sense the whole 2 games are about how she tries to take care of him risking her life and you just make her leave him？ Let’s just pretend that this comics doesn’t exist

I had assumed Tillie Walden was having the sort of dream indie comics career where she'd have no need or desire to do work for hire。 And even if I had known she was going to give it a go， I wouldn't have guessed it would be on The Walking Dead。 This despite the fact that， having read this， of course they're a match: strangers uneasily coming to know and need each other on a long journey through mostly empty countryside; a lurking threat which can almost be forgotten until it suddenly becomes a t I had assumed Tillie Walden was having the sort of dream indie comics career where she'd have no need or desire to do work for hire。 And even if I had known she was going to give it a go， I wouldn't have guessed it would be on The Walking Dead。 This despite the fact that， having read this， of course they're a match: strangers uneasily coming to know and need each other on a long journey through mostly empty countryside; a lurking threat which can almost be forgotten until it suddenly becomes a terribly urgent problem; a tatty landscape capable of occasional moments of utter beauty。 Even the small group of people， isolated by snow， among whom much of the story takes place， recall her debut， The End Of Summer – though the facilities here are a lot less luxurious。 As some may infer from the title， this is a sequel to Telltale's Walking Dead game， a concept which already has some people up in arms – apparently it ended with Clementine having attained some form of sanctuary， a conclusion which many players hate to see stripped away from her。 I have some sympathy with this， as also with the objection that it's very hard to do a canonical sequel to a game through which people will have taken the character on all sorts of different paths。 Personally， I fucked the game off early doors when I realised it was itself ignoring choices I had previously made， and I still feel it's a bit much that， as I write this， the top Goodreads review of this is one star from someone who doesn't appear to have read it yet。 Which is not to say I think the comic is perfect。 There's usually a gorgeous clarity to Walden's art， and here that sometimes seems to have been sacrificed to huge swathes of dark， perhaps in the cause of better meshing with the shadowed look people associate with The Walking Dead （even though Charlie Adlard's art on the main series was often pretty light and spacious）。 Whatever the reason， there were a number of scenes where I couldn't altogether follow what was going on， and if that feels acceptably method for a muddled and chaotic encounter with walkers， elsewhere （as in the fairly key scene where the buggy exits the story） it meant I was left with some pretty basic gaps in the story。 Indeed， I read this in an Edelweiss ARC， released much earlier than usual， and there was a note that from Chapter Seven the grey tones weren't finished。 You know what？ I preferred it that way; it looked more Tillie Walden， and certainly easier to follow。 But even with the occasional murk， and assuming the entire concept isn't anathema to you as snatching away a beloved character's hard-won peace， there's a lot to enjoy here。 Those landscape epiphanies and moments of connection Walden does so well， but also some lovely dialogue:"Lord， this roof is。。。fucked。""SHHH， don't say that！ It's。。。troubled。"（Which doesn't begin to get across the effect it has when hand-lettered， the big 'SHHH' half-obscuring the 'fucked'）Also， a scene in the opening pages where Clementine has fallen and broken her primitive prosthetic leg as walkers close in。 Oh no， thinks the reader – only for her to spear one zombie through the eye-socket with its jagged stump。 Yes， man's inhumanity to man and the opportunity/Sisyphean nightmare of starting civilisation again， sure。 But this is the good shit for which we read zombie comics。 。。。more

I had never heard of a character named Clementine in the Walking Dead universe。 Apparently， she is part of the video game series （which I have never played）。 Clementine is making her way north on only one leg。 She runs into an Amish community and joins Amos on his journey。 They end up on a mountain trying to make a life there with a set of twins and another girl。 Clementine must learn to trust people again or face death。

Hello There！I should say this before you read it: This review contains spoilers from The Walking Dead Telltale Series You probably played it allClementine is one of the greatest characters of all TWD history。 I started my journey with Clementine as a young boy and ended it as and grown man（Also I'll never forget Lee and Kenny and other characters）。 This great journey made me laugh， made me cry。 I'm real glad to have met you， Clementine。 I was horrified when I heard there's a comic and a book for Hello There！I should say this before you read it: This review contains spoilers from The Walking Dead Telltale Series You probably played it allClementine is one of the greatest characters of all TWD history。 I started my journey with Clementine as a young boy and ended it as and grown man（Also I'll never forget Lee and Kenny and other characters）。 This great journey made me laugh， made me cry。 I'm real glad to have met you， Clementine。 I was horrified when I heard there's a comic and a book for her， Because I was afraid of her future。 I read the comic。 After that， I realized I did the worst mistake of my life。 I can't even think about how I felt when I saw she called AJ "baby" and leaving him because she's not HAPPY？？！！ Wait， what？ She did everything for AJ to be with him and now she wants to abandon him ？？ Who could abandon Her Child / Brother / Best Friend because she's not happy？They said it's Canon and Makes my pain more annoying。 But I won't accept this， it's not just me， all fans will not。 If you just go and search about the comic， you can see a lot of people are mad at this， Making jokes， memes， video about it。 Clementine's story is over。 She's safe（Running is over） and has a home， fans got an ending they wanted and deserved， so let it just end and we will live in peace。 Ms。Walden picked the wrong subject for making a good book。 It's not just about a character， Clementine is more than a character。 And another thing that makes me feel bad about this book is How can someone write a book that has many plots， I mean you（players） choose the path in TWD telltale series。 like some people left Lee to turn or some players left Kenny/ Jane on S2， Fell in love with Louis or Vi。 Or。。。Or some people let walkers kill Louis / Violet/ Tennessee。 How could you make a story that most of the players didn't choose it？ You can imagine it's just a fan-book I still will wait until the book is published。 But I don't think it will change anything for fans， I don't think it can be good for someone who never played the game before neither。Also， my English isn't perfect at all， Sorry for this 。。。more
