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 don’t know, something in me changed after I got bit. I ignored it for a while but it keeps growing. This idea that I...I was going to live. And not just day by day like I had been. I could live for months...years...that I might be an adult someday, like my mom was. I don't know why but it scared me so much. So much that it felt like I couldn’t breathe.” 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. Yes, it's a zombie book. Yes, it's set within the Walking Dead world (of which I know very little because that show is hella boring—I SAID WHAT I SAID).Goldfarb, Andrew (2013-07-20).

Within the present of A New Frontier, Clementine had become a member of the New Frontier, but was exiled after stealing medicine from the group's doctor in an attempt to save a deathly ill AJ, a history she keeps quiet from others. She rescues Javier while trying to acquire a working vehicle and stays with him to help rescue his family at a nearby junkyard. They get into a conflict with other members of the New Frontier, and ultimately Clementine and Javier are forced to travel to Richmond, a fortified town that has been taken over by the New Frontier. Clementine helps Javier to assure his family's well-being and defuse the issues with the New Frontier and other survivor outposts. She learns that AJ is being kept at a ranch outside of town, and takes her leave to recover him. Goldfarb, Andrew (2013-10-29). "Clementine Confirmed as Playable in The Walking Dead: Season 2". IGN.

From its original comic book, the franchise has moved into television, animation, and, reportedly, future feature films. It has been board games, card games, and tabletop miniature games. It has been both video games and novels; it’s even a theme park ride. Now for what I didn’t like. Tillie Walden is a fine enough illustrator, but I’ve never read much of her other work to judge her writing. It’s not appallingly bad here or anything, it just isn’t all that good either. It’s just serviceable. You can tell this is also a book geared at teenagers, which is usually fine, but a lot of the dialogue is just so whiny at points. I did like some of the more emotional moments, but it didn’t help the only person I care about in this whole book is Clementine. Amos and Ricca were cool I guess, but I just never got too attached to either, even if they are likable and written well. I’m also really confused on how all these teenagers are so effective at killing zombies. I get they grew up in the apocalypse, but these kids are killing walkers with next to no effort. The story falls flat as well, and every other review on here sums up why better than I could, but the summary should be a big hint. It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and the ending felt surreal in the worst possible way.

I think Clementine's decision to leave him behind at the school makes a lot of sense. Clementine didn't leave him behind because she didn't care for him anymore. She left behind because she is a deeply traumatised kid who doesn't know the difference between living and surviving. It is unfair to expect her to be his mother. The moment she knew AJ was safe in the community, she felt like her job looking after him was done. She returned to wandering the roads alone because fighting to survive is all she knows. In one scene, Clementine tells another survivor that when she isn't fighting to survive, she is so bored. In another scene, we see that Clementine has almost forgotten how to read. Her memories of her old life are fading. All that remains is trauma, guilt, frustration and a deep sense of loss. Who is Clementine if she is not fighting to survive?

Join our Discord community, where we chat about the latest news and releases from everything we cover on AIPT 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. 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. Things I mostly didn't like: I don't think we spent enough time with the other characters to know them properly. This section describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style.
