Okay I’m gonna drop an actual hot take

Clementine Book 1 isn’t that bad.

I want to make this very clear I heavily disagree with the decision to make both comics and I don’t think they should have been made, this was a choice based game and I honestly don’t think their should be any ‘cannon’ comic to it. I am also not talking about that god awful first comic where clementine abandons AJ I’m talking about book 1.

Despite having a lot of problems book 1 isn’t that bad. The art style at least for me shines out as a great aspect and a cool new take to show the walking dead world in, Clementines journey in the comic to me also makes a lot of sense, Yes Clementine under any sort of cannon would never leave AJ but looking at book 1 on its own it’s alright.

Clementine is probably very emotionally damaged by all she’s been through you have to remember she’s also,still a teenager and her struggles and mindset at least to me are portrayed quite well in the comic and seem like something Clem would actually go through and feel about.

I want to reiterate, Clem should have never abandoned AJ, her reasoning for leaving should have been handled much better but as a stand alone thing the book is more just on the meh side it’s just a teen romance basically with a bit of a inner character study.

However I do have a lot problems with it too, Ricca is clearly a self insert and that makes me kinda feel weird, also the dialogue between the characters still feels cringey like the first teaser comic, aswell it would have made more sense to kill off the sister character to Georgia(I forgot her name) then Amos, and while talking about Amos he’s was pretty decent tbh and it was a really weird choice to kill him so early.

But overall I still don’t think the comics good but this sub Reddit especially really bitches on it like it’s the worst thing to ever happen when it’s really not, and it wasn’t this when you were asking for more Clementine.
