I had never heard of a character named Clementine in the Walking Dead universe. Apparently, she is part of the video game series (which I have never played). Clementine is making her way north on only one leg. She runs into an Amish community and joins Amos on his journey. They end up on a mountain trying to make a life there with a set of twins and another girl. Clementine must learn to trust people again or face death.
I'm maybe not the target audience for this one - I read one book of Walking Dead (liked it, but not enough to commit indefinite time and money to it); I haven't seen the show; I didn't know there was a video game, much less that this book spins off from it, until I saw it mentioned in reviews of this book here.
I've heard good things about Walden's work (liked one previous book, didn't care for another), so I checked this out. I mean, not knowing Walking Dead shouldn't matter - surviving zombie bullshit is a pretty easy concept to grasp. Does not knowing the game matter? From comments here, it seems not.
I just found this book laboriously slow unfolding, with a sulking, tedious protagonist, and muddy, unclear zombie hatchet sequences. I hope you enjoy it more than I did.

A big thanks to Young Adult Book Central for providing an advance copy for review.
Have you ever wanted more out of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead? Well, now you can with this wonderful continuation in graphic novel form. Follow the life of Celementine, a character most famous for her involvement in the Tell-Tale Game, The Walking Dead.
I loved this book to a certain extent, as it allowed Clementine's story to continue well beyond the already established cannon. While throwing in new information we previously haven't received. I especially liked how we got the more awesome and stronger version of Clementine, who has learned from her many mistakes. All while she kicks walker butt with ease, even with her prosthetic.
Overall, I think this book could have really tied a little more back to the popular media that is the Walking Dead's hit TV adaptation. As I feel it would have been an interesting twist to include some of the more popular and recognizable characters. Even if it was just a small cameo. I feel like this would have allowed more readers, who maybe haven't read the full comics or played the video game to enjoy this inclusion.
In the end, I quite enjoyed this graphic novel. As it allowed me to revisit one of my favorite franchises without the need to spend hours on end playing a video game or watching over 11 seasons of a show.
