Clementine: Book Two — the second book in a planned trilogy of young adult graphic novels starring the heroine of Telltale's The Walking Dead series of video games — goes on sale today (October 3).
It follows on from (you might have guessed it) last year's Clementine: Book One, and is considered canon to the games per Skybound, IP holders for the entire Walking Dead franchise founded by the original comics' author Robert Kirkman. You may recall Skybound stepping in as publishers to resurrect the series like one of its own walkers after Telltale suddenly announced its "majority studio closure" in 2018, with two episodes of the final season still as-then unmade.
The premise of the Clementine trilogy is admittedly somewhat controversial among fans of the games, on account of how it almost immediately overrode the happy ending of The Walking Dead: The Final Season, in which – spoilers! – Clem at long last found a home with her ward AJ and (optionally) your choice of love interest. The latter is an especial source of contention since, of course, multiple choice romances don't fare too well in mediums other than video games; so both the lovely Louis and the intriguing Violet were given an unceremonious off-page boot in favour of an original character as Clem's new partner in the graphic novel series.
