You’ve surely seen mention of SWEET TOOTH here in recent months. It’s one of our favorites right now from DC Comics/Vertigo. It’s a dark, post-apocalyptic tale that follows the misadventures of a young boy who is, shall we say, a little different (see cover images below). But it’s so much more than that, too: family issues, abandonment, human nature, ethics, all that good stuff. It’s all piled in to Sweet Tooth and so far it’s been outstanding. The newest volume comes out on Wednesday!

SWEET TOOTH VOL. 1 TP The first five issues of Jeff Lemire’s acclaimed new series introduce Gus, a rare new breed of human/animal hybrid who was raised in isolation following a pandemic that struck a decade earlier. Now, with the death of his father, he’s left to fend for himself… until he meets a hulking drifter named Jepperd, who promises to help him.
