Tillie Walden Hits the Road with the Clementine Book Three on Tour

Posted on by
Clementine Book Three Tour

Skybound Comet has announced the Clementine Book Three Book Tour, a nationwide summer tour in support of the new graphic novel from the incomparable writer/artist Tillie Walden. The heart-wrenching finale of the Eisner-Award nominated YA trilogy is available in comic book shops tomorrow and everywhere books are sold July 8, 2025. 

From the world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comes the epic conclusion of Clementine, in which Tillie Walden holds absolutely nothing back. 

To celebrate the release of Tillie Walden’s highly anticipated graphic novel, the Clementine Book Three Book Tour will kick off with a special appearance at the ALA Annual Conference in Philadelphia and will continue with stops along the West Coast through mid-July. 

Tillie Walden’s in-person appearances will include book signings and, at select locations, thoughtful conversations with Walden and a lineup of special guests that features some of the most accomplished talent working in the worlds of books and comics today, including Terry Blas (Eat Your Heart Out), G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel), and Shannon Watters (Lumberjanes).

Full details of each appearance are listed below. 

Friday, June 27 – Philadelphia, PA  

Brave New Worlds 
7:00pm – 8:30pm ET 
Dual Book Signing with Matt Braly (Family Force V) 

Saturday, June 28 & Sunday, June 29 – Philadelphia, PA  

ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition 
Pennsylvania Convention Center

Appearing at Skybound booth (#506) and other activations for badge holders, including:  

We Control Our Own Fate: Great Expectations in Graphic Novels Panel  

Saturday, June 28, 9:30am – 10:20am ET  

Whether it be fate, destiny, or expectations from others, the universe has a lot of opinions of how we should live our lives. Despite that, the characters in these graphic novels grab their destinies by the horns, regardless of the trials they face. Brian “Smitty” Smith, Faith Erin Hicks, Matt Braly, and Tillie Walden discuss crafting stories for a wide range of readers, the road to embracing ourselves, audience Q&A, and more! 

Scary Sisters: Libraries Supporting Women Creators in Horror Comics 

Saturday, June 28, 11:00am – 12:00pm (ET) 

Horror often addresses “The Other,” that which is perceived as different, alien, or monstrous compared to the norm, invoking fear or revulsion. This panel will discuss how women comics creators, including writers, artists, and editors, use horror as a lens/mirror to reflect and critique societal issues about gender, race, sexuality, and other topics. Why do women create horror comics? Why do women read horror comics? The role of libraries in collecting horror comics can help highlight the influence of women creators in horror comics. By displaying their work, libraries help support these creators’ contributions to the horror genre, and how they challenge and redefine the genre. Libraries can also support independent publishers or self-published creators of women-created horror comics.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Ginseng Roots #12

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Abbott: 1979 #1 (BOOM! Studios) – On the eve of the 1980s and the Reagan Administration, Detroit is burdened with an oppressive darkness-both political and supernatural. It’s the start of the final chapter of the trilogy!

Birds of Prey #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was what we expected hitting a lot of moments we’ve seen before but the interaction, personalities, and art, has us excited for more. The debut was a lot of fun and we’re expecting more for the second.

Clementine Book 2 (Skybound) – Clementine’s adventure continues in the second volume of this graphic novel series for younger readers based on the popular video game set in the world of The Walking Dead.

Count Dante #3 (Scout Comics) – The comic is the sort of true story about the martial arts legend. How much is fact and how much is fiction? That’s for you the reader to decide.

The Devil That Wears My Face #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – It’s Face Off meets The Exorcist and it’s so good. Watch our initial review.

Ginseng Roots #12 (Uncivilized Comics) – It’s the finale to Craig Thompson’s series that has him celebrating his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It’s been an interesting series about a world so few of us know.

G.O.D.S. #1 (Marvel) – It’s a “bold” expansion of Marvel’s Gods and the first issue is… interesting. We’re expecting big things from this, so this is the chance to get in on the ground floor.

The Midnite Show #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt… that alone has us excited about this horror series about monsters of the silver screen coming to live and wreaking havoc on a small town.

The Night Eaters Vol. 2 Her Little Reapers (Abrams ComicArts) – The first volume caught us off guard with its horror roots. It delivered so many twists and turns, we’re excited to see what the second volume brings.

The Plot Holes #2 (Massive Publishing) – Sean Gordon Murphy’s new indie series’ debut was full of interesting ideas about characters in books who have to save other books. It was more than enough to get us intrigued to see what comes next.

Ranger Academy #1 (BOOM! Studios) – If you had a chance to join the Power Rangers, would you do it? We’re intrigued about this new series that expands the Power Rnagers Universe.

Transformers #1 (Skybound) – We’re Transformers fans and this comic already has sold out at the distributor level, so it’s hot, hot, hot! We’ve read it already and our review will be out Wednesday and we definitely have thoughts.
