So what will they do after this Walking Dead game given they are current with the comic now
So do you think this will be the final TellTale Walking Dead game. They mentioned that they will pretty much be current timeline wise with the comic. Kirkman did mention in an interview recently that this game will have a stronger connection with the comics than season 2 did (similar to Walking Dead Michonne).
Do you think there are potentially plans of bringing Clementine into the comics after this game and the TellTale games will end or perhaps reboot with a different set of characters. Or do you think this will just be the final game involving Clementine? One thing I don't see happening is them jumping ahead of the comics so that is why I think this will be the final video game for Clementime (and she will either be brought into the comics or given a final resolution by the end of the game).
Just as a side note (and possible spoilers for the comic) they are doing something currently in the comic that could be a set up to incorporate Clementine into the graphic novel. Eugene is having radio communication with a completely new community. It's possible that they could make it to where Clementine is a part of that community. Now granted though that will only make sense if Clementine is somewhere fairly close to the Virginia area in season 3 (which we really don't have any idea where she is at now)

I think they can make this/Clem last forever. Sure they're more current to the comic's timeline. But it's been almost 2 years since the last episode, and we've had 25 issues and counting, during that span.
I will go apeshit (not in a good way!) if they put Clementine in the comics.
Why? It would be the ultimate compliment to TellTale and show that these games truly mean something to the overall Walking Dead universe. I guess I could see people being upset if they don't read the comics as it would pretty much spell out the end for Clementine in the video games. But overall it would be great for her character and you would be able to read updates on her monthly instead of once every two or three years.
Her story is meant to be told through the games. I've always wanted Clem's story and the comic characters story to remain seperate.
I kinda doubt Kirkman would really want to incorporate Clem into the comics, since she's not a creation of his. If it happens, it'll only be as a background character with a few references to the games. She wouldn't be central to the story and that would anger a lot of fans, myself included. I'd rather keep her story in the video games. Heck, maybe the Telltale series can have their own TV adaptation someday instead. THAT would be fantastic.
I agree with you on your theory about Eugene's radio pals possibly appearing in Season 3... perhaps even as the folks who are marking people as seen in the trailer. Otherwise, why would they bother playing catch-up with the comics in the first place?
Hopefully Clem's story carries on into a season 4, and now that were caught up with the comic timeline, hopefully there won't be any more massive time skips.
Telltale can do the following;
Release Season 4 just after another considerable time skip takes place in the comic series, so that the timelines fit together yet again.
Release Season 4 without a time skip taking place, the story continuing just after Season 3 left off.
Not develop Season 4.
Season 3 could be a good place to end.
But TWD is a soap opera that never ends... Wouldn't be surprised if they kept milking it. I mean who can resist Clem right?
I'd suicide if its the 3rd option
I just dont want clem's story to end
Please don't, seriously?
You are right. I mean maybe a chapter or an episode of them directly crossing each other in paths but they are meant to tell different stories in different ways.
They should always keep them seperate. They have a great shared universe here. But trying to force the two stories together would be nothung more than a cash grab, anyways team up stories suck.
That's probably how it would go if they did ever incorporate Clementine into the story. Similar to how the characters from the Michonne game are at Oceanside right now and they brought up Oceanside in the comics one time. If they ever do visit Oceanside in the comics they may have one of the characters from the game in the background.
