I think Clem will. As Rick is still the main focus of The Walking Dead comics, while I believe Clem is the focus of Telltale's series, and these are the necessary characters they follow (Kirkman has stated that The Walking Dead is simply following Rick's life, Lee was not ever the central character of the game, in my eyes it was Clementine). Therefore, Carl is expendable unless of course the comics take a story arc in which Carl is made to be the successor of Rick by the end of the comics and that will be the sole "happy" part of the ending. I fully expect Rick to die in Issue #300 which will be the final issue according to Kirkman, but if Carl hasn't died by then, then he's pretty much guaranteed to survive the series. Regardless, I don't think The Walking Dead comics will take that path, and I think Carl will die before Rick does (and thus before Clem).
