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. This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( June 2023) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Clementine meets a young boy while on the road and decides to tag along on the boy's journey up a Vermont mountain for contrived reasons, which leads to her helping a society of teenagers build houses on said mountains. No really, I kid you not. If you are wondering why AJ isn’t with her, well you should have read Skybound X true believer. That’s the issue where she leaves him for no good reason! The writer says it’s because Clementine isn’t happy, but this book and that issue never justified that reason or made it feel like a valid one. I’m usually fine with writers not telling the readers everything, but Clementine's story was already complete, so you have to give us a justification for this story existing or it just comes across as hollow and forced.

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.

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 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.

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. PORTLAND, Ore 11/01/2021 — Image/Skybound today revealed an extra-length first look at Clementine Book One, beginning a trilogy set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead, from award-winning writer/artist Tillie Walden ( Spinning, On A Sunbeam). 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.

Clementine was considered an emotional centerpiece of The Walking Dead game, and several journalists expressed caring for her fate in a way that few other games have been able to capture. Following Telltale's sudden closure in the midst of releasing The Walking Dead: The Final Season, Kirkman acquired the game's assets and brought some of the Telltale staff on to finish the season within his company Skybound Entertainment, as he felt it was necessary to give closure to Clementine's story. The character subsequently appeared in the 2021 series Skybound X and appear later in the comic book of the same name by Tillie Walden in 2022. For the next two weeks, the trio and the cat travel to Olivia's mother's homebase to retrieve supplies and a plane. After arriving, they sneak in, however the cat starts making noises, which alerts one of the residents who Clementine swiftly punches out. Olivia slides a letter under the door of her mother's room and they all go to the hangar to retrieve the plane. They fly out just as several residents attempt to catch them. Watching out the window is Olivia and Georgia's mother, who is revealed to have died and turned. Clementine looks over the land and asks Olivia to fly over Vermont to show Amos the plane one last time. The fact that there are only three other people -- all teenage girls -- at the hideaway immediately raises Clem's suspicions, but Amos is intent on working hard and helping out. But as one disaster after another strikes, emotions run high, leading almost inevitably to betrayal.
