#Clementine comic series
Read more from the Comics Bookcase Features section! Clementine recently made her comic book debut in the pages of Skybound X, an anthology series that also revisited the fanciful 'Rick Grimes 2000' storyline introduced in The Walking Dead 75. In short, I just can’t wait for the first part of this series to arrive. A collection of Tillie Walden’s earliest work, Alone in Space, landed on our Best Graphic Novels of 2021. You could maybe call it all YA-skewing, but in my opinion there’s really no limit on the sort of audience that can enjoy the work. Walden’s work is visually striking, ethereal and fearlessly-framed. These pages sort of speak for the whole deal much better than I can type a bunch of thoughts…enjoy! Clementine by Tillie Walden Previewįor the (somehow) unfamiliar, Walden is relatively young creator who has already put out a handful of graphic novels that felt like masterpieces, from On a Sunbeam to Spinning to Are You Listening? Those books hit one-per-year from 2017 to 2019, marking and incredible breakout and a really stunning period of sustained production for the creator. Instead, series writer/co-creator Robert Kirkman was able to be patient, and the result is now finally arriving - a Walking Dead comics expansion helmed by Walden, one of the most interesting and idiosyncratic talents working in the medium today.Īnyway! Enough of my take.
#Clementine comic tv
Sales were massive, but with the giant success of the franchise in other mediums (be it TV or video games), there was no need to wring money from it with more comic books. There was for the most part one book, with one creative team, telling one streamlined story. For years, The Walking Dead comics were probably the biggest franchise in the medium that wasn’t being actively and aggressively expanded, at least not within comics.
To me, this is such an interesting combination of creator and property. Check out the description of the book below, with the aforementioned preview pages after the jump. And now the publisher has shared a whopping 10 (10!) finished interior pages from the new series.
The book - which is aimed at the YA market - is slated to hit in June, launching when it does a new imprint for YA and middle grade audiences called Skybound Comet. This is actually Clementine Book One, making it the start of a trilogy of books about the character, who first appeared in The Walking Dead video games. The Walking DeadOGN officially arrives at comic book shops and digital platforms on Jand everywhere else on June, 28.By Zack Quaintance - This week Image/Skybound sent out a new substantial chunk of preview pages from Clementine by Tillie Walden, a new graphic novel set in the universe of The Walking Dead. If you're a fan of The Walking Deadcomics, video games, or television series, or simply enjoy great original graphic novels, Clementine: Book One by Tillie Walden from Skybound/Image Comics is shaping up to be a must-read title aimed towards young adults. Her boldly authentic voice brings new heights to the world of The Walking Dead. I couldn't be more proud of what she's doing with this series. In a press release, The Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman said that he's excited to have an authentic voice such as Walden's for the book. 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. But when she comes across an Amish teenager named Amos, 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. It’s a new beginning for Clementine, the star of the bestselling video game franchise TELLTALE’S THE WALKING DEAD, in Clementine Book One, as she’s back on the road, looking to put her traumatic past behind her and forge a new path all her own. Check out the synopsis for Clementine Book one below, where her adventures with an Amish teenager named Amos are teased.
