Made me want to play the games all over again. Not sure if I like the direction in which the story is going. As some people mentioned in their reviews, who builds houses in the winter? I am curious to read Book Two though. Also, AMAZING artwork!

Telltale's The Walking Dead games are easily in my top 5 favourite game series, mostly because of Clementine and how brilliantly she is written. You can imagine how hyped I was when I found out there was a graphic novel about her coming. I think it's fair to say that I've never pre-ordered anything quite so quickly. And while it was entertaining enough, there is one thing that was bothering me very much whilst reading this: where is AJ? Clem would never just leave him behind. Yet there was no explanation other than Clem feeling she had to leave and be alone. Does that mean something happened to AJ and it was the last straw? If so, it is extremely weird there is no mention of it anywhere. If Clem really just up and left, that's a grave misunderstanding of her character. Either way, it bothered me, and took away from the reading experience. I will pick up the second book when it comes out, but I do hope the author will explain what happened with AJ. That being said, there were some things I really liked, such as the tiny flashbacks to Lee, and the reference to Kenny. Now I really want to replay the games.

Not my favorite book of Walden’s but I thoroughly enjoyed it. More than happy to read the second one too.

This made a few top of the year lists. Admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of The Walking Dead, and maybe this is just really different and welcome in that space? I thought this was a descent story. Grim, fitting for what I know of the world. But also queer and inclusive, which is nice to see. It was solid from start to finish and had a couple really good moments, but it also felt like it took a long time to navigate to those moments. I wish this were in colour like the jacket too, which is gorgeous.
