I thought that Tillie Walden did a great job with Clementine: Book One. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and see where Clementine's travels take her next. Set in the comic’s Walking Dead universe, Clementine is on a journey north when she meets up with Amos, a young Amish teen. Together they travel to a Vermont mountain to do a job of building a small 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. [2] Synopsis [ ] Chapter One [ ]

Clementine Book 1 is an Image Comics/Skybound Comet graphic novel written and drawn by Tillie Walden. I thought that Clementine: Book One was a great book and a wonderful spiritual successor to The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. I thought that Tillie Walden had a really good understanding of Clementine's character and life in the Walking Dead universe. In the video games, Clementine becomes the guardian of a small child named Alvin "AJ" Junior when she is just 10-years-old. Clementine keeps AJ alive and teaches him to be safe. In the final Telltale game, after years of wandering the road, Clementine and AJ join a community of teenage survivors living at an old boarding school and make a home for themselves there.

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. 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. Schedeen, Jesse (November 1, 2021). "The Walking Dead: Clementine Book One - Exclusive Graphic Novel Preview".

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!

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.

Clementine and her group continues their journey on foot after their plane crash in Cape Breton Island.

The next morning, The group spot a rabbit, which Ricca give a chase, only to it have taken by the herd of walkers, forcing Clementine and her group escape and cover themselves in walker guts. As they continued their journey, They encountered two French group who grab Olivia hostages, but they manage to rescue her and escaped.Things I mostly didn't like: I don't think we spent enough time with the other characters to know them properly. 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.
