Editorial Reviews

"Walden’s hand-drawn style feels both elaborate and effortless, playing with light and shadow to enhance her storytelling. Like the other volumes, this series finale crafts an allegory from the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world, exploring themes of power, trauma, survivor’s guilt, and love in times of darkness. A bittersweet, hope-tinged conclusion to a stirring trilogy."

With CLEMENTINE, beloved cartoonist Tillie Walden blows open the Walking Dead universe with a story full of blossoming relationships in the shadow of wintery death. It's ominous and magical and will have you craving more when the final page turns.” -CHIP ZDARSKY (Daredevil, STILLWATER)

“CLEMENTINE brings its own distinct voice, style, and sensibility to the Walking Dead universe, which is quite a feat on its own. On top of that, it's an exquisitely drawn story about how to survive trauma and find strength in ourselves and others.” -KELLY SUE DeCONNICK (Pretty Deadly, Captain Marvel)

“Tillie Walden's bittersweet, character-driven zombie story about the travels of Clementine in the Walking Dead universe is introspective, haunting, and gorgeously drawn.” -KRISTEN GUDSNUK (Making Friends)

★ 2025-04-19
Clementine and her friends find a true sanctuary from the zombie wasteland—but is it too good to be true?

Clem, Ricca, Olivia, and Fen, survivors from the second series entry, have started a new life in Nuuk, where the community is living in relative peace. Nuuk has real leadership: A council assigns jobs and distributes resources. The walls are guarded by a squadron of girls who patrol the perimeter, led by a figure called the Gardener. But stability feels strange to this group after the harrowing experiences they’ve endured. Clem struggles to feel at ease, even with her girlfriend, Ricca, there to ground her. Olivia, a new mother, is floundering. Fen is acting suspiciously distant. Amid this uncertainty, something unthinkable happens, leaving Clem crushed. Seeing her vulnerable state, the Gardener offers her a new path forward—but it comes with a price. When she learns that the Gardener may not have the community’s best interests at heart, Clementine must gather her determination to protect those she cares about. The citizens of Nuuk speak Greenlandic and Danish, and Clementine has medium-toned skin and wavy black hair. Walden’s hand-drawn style feels both elaborate and effortless, playing with light and shadow to enhance her storytelling. Like the other volumes, this series finale crafts an allegory from the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world, exploring themes of power, trauma, survivor’s guilt, and love in times of darkness.

A bittersweet, hope-tinged conclusion to a stirring trilogy.(Graphic horror. 14-18)
