The story itself is fine, if not particularly original or strong enough to withstand more than passing scrutiny. Perhaps the gaps will be filled in better in Books Two and Three. It doesn't help that Tillie Walden's art is occasionally too murky to differentiate between characters or to fully illustrate what's happening to them. I really enjoyed Amos tho, who was a delight. I just... I don't think I'm this book's target demographic. I don't care about your standard zombies and I'd much rather read about teenage angst in real world situations (tho, perhaps hilariously, one of my favorite zombie books is Lia Habel's steampunk-zombie-teen romance mashup Dearly, Departed.) 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. Crecente, Brian (April 3, 2019).

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).The bond between Clementine and Lee was considered instrumental to the game by Telltale. [3] Gary Whitta described Lee's and Clementine's relationship as "emotionally authentic". [4] To build this relation, Clementine was introduced as early as possible within the first episode; the scene of Lee confronted with Clementine's zombified babysitter was specifically designed to highlight Clementine's likability, resourcefulness, and vulnerability. [3] The writers carefully had to balance elements in this scene, as if, for example, Clementine appeared to be annoying to the player, the emotional bond would be absent and the player would likely make choices without caring about Clementine's fate. [3] Writer Jake Rodkin stated that the difficulties of writing a child character that the player wouldn't want to abandon led to serious discussion about dropping Clementine late in the development process, a week before voice recording was to start. [5] The game designer and writer Harrison G. Pink commented that the in-game decisions were not meant to be good because there couldn't be an optimal play-through. Clementine made those decisions even more difficult, since her presence forces the player to consider protecting her on another level. "It gets way more blurred when you involve Clementine," Pink said. "You have these decisions that are probably the right decisions for the group--she's watching, but then maybe she needs to understand this, but I might scare her because she'll think I'm a crazy person. There's no wrong choice, if you can justify it and it feels properly motivated to you, it's a valid choice." [6]

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. TILLIE WALDEN is the future. Her boldly authentic voice brings new heights to the world of The Walking Dead." —ROBERT KIRKMAN 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). So today I'm going to talk about clementine next comic and why the story is garbage, but first, let's see what we got.

Chapter One" • " Chapter Two" • " Chapter Three" • " Chapter Four" • " Chapter Five" • " Chapter Six" • " Chapter Seven" • " Chapter Eight" • " Chapter Nine" Pic THIS THREAD WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES! AVOID AT ALL COSTS IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED SEASONS 1-4! 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. Please just get the original writers of the Telltale game series to do a 5th game. If you wish to use Clem in a comic then at least have them be a part of it. That said I would much prefer a 5th game though am happy with how Season 4 ended.

Telltale's Walking Dead series spanned four main seasons and several spinoffs between 2012 and 2019, with Skybound stepping in to help finish the series after Telltale's unexpected closure in 2018. The games were also rereleased as The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series in 2019. Campbell, Colin (8 May 2012). "The Walking Dead: Why Lee Everett Really Matters". IGN. Ziff Davis, LLC. Archived from the original on 20 October 2012 . Retrieved 7 December 2012. Nothing is known about Amos' life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he lived the Amish lifestyle. 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.

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.
