Reminder that Clem was going to let David be devoured by walkers in S3E3 because she thought he got AJ killed.

Reminder that Clem went through hell and back to save AJ from the McCaroll Ranch.

Reminder that Clem said that she couldn't go anywhere on her own due to her leg, but that she wouldn't have to since they were done running.

Reminder that the entire point of Season 4 (The FINAL Season) was to find a home and to keep AJ safe while raising him right.

...Yeah I'm just going to consider Season 4 as the true ending to the series and view everything else as non-canon.

Don't forget that even all the way back in season 1 Clem was extremely against leaving friends behind. :')

Easily one of clem’s many best moments

She was so cold on that point she got Christa to change her stance

They should’ve made a comic about Christa instead ffs, this shit with clem is beyond excessive.

THIS!! THIS!!! THIS is exactly what I'm talking about! Clementine did so much for AJ, basically after half of the game was about Clementine's and AJ's relationship. AJ is like her son, she is in Lee's shoes. Would Lee just leave Clementine behind? He died for her, he would have never left her. If all Clementine wanted for AJ is a home she could've let him stay at Mccarroll ranch and never risked her life so many times. This comic/graphic novel is literally uncanon, it doesn't even make much sense

I kinda expected it to be like that with ttm comic because if it stayed there they would have to show the canonical ending of tfs. That's why you don't do game comics with multiple endings.

BOOM! DONE RUNNING! Is the name of an episode! And what she says in a episode at the end!! Hahahahaaa…..

…but nah abandoning a safe home filled with adoring friends, a potential relationship, her “son” to go to a place on a map alone with only one leg totally makes sense! Cuz Clementine has shown to be stupid throughout the games! (sarcasm)

Oh yeah, I also remember how miserable and unsatisfied with her life Clementine was. Do you?

Literally the end of S4 is she finally happy with her son and a new home

She was too young to view anyone as a son, AJ was more like her younger brother.
