Last year Skybound announced a new imprint devoted to line of YA and middle grade comics, Skybound Comet. Launching this summer the imprint will feature books from top tier creators such as superstar Tillie Walden working on a trilogy of GNs starring Clementine, the character from the popular Walking Dead video games. Today the publisher revealed a first look at Clementine Book One arriving this summer.
Here’s how the publisher describes Clementine Book One:
It’s a new beginning for Clementine, the star of the bestselling video game franchise TELLTALE’S THE WALKING DEAD, in Clementine Book One, as she’s back on the road, looking to put her traumatic past behind her and forge a new path all her own. But when she comes across an Amish teenager named Amos, the unlikely pair journeys north to an abandoned ski resort in Vermont, where they meet up with a small group of teenagers attempting to build a new, walker-free settlement. As friendship, rivalry, and romance begin to blossom amongst the group, the harsh winter soon reveals that the biggest threat to their survival…might be each other.
The next Skybound Comet releases will be Everyday Hero Machine Boy OGN (MAY218589) from rising star voices Tri Vuong and Irma Kniivila in September 2022, followed by Sea Serpent’s Heir Book One (MAY218588) from acclaimed creators Mairghread Scott (Star Wars: Resistance, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Pablo Tunica (TMNT Universe) in October 2022.
