Once upon a time there was a little boy named Gus. He had antlers and lived with his father in a little cabin in the woods. Then his father died, and the big man with cold eyes took Gus away. Gus went on many great adventures, found friends, love, happiness, family, and acceptance.
Now, years later…it begins again. A young boy with antlers and deer-like feature wakes in a bizarre and completely foreign world where the last humans struggle to survive. They tell the boy he is special, he is chosen, and that he alone can lead them back to a world dominated by the oppressive Hybrids.
Sweet Tooth: The Return is no re-hash of the or more
Everything feels familiar, but for all the wrong reasons. The events are correct but they keep happening in the wrong order. Purpose drives them forward like a compulsion sown into the DNA of Gus. By introducing doubt into a story we think we know, a new mystery and adventure are reborn through its retelling. Read Full Review
This is truly awesome and I am happy and glad to have read it. Well done. Read Full Review
This seems to be a story about cycles, about history repeating itself, and about how far we would be willing to go for the truth. But it's also a very simple story about a boy who wanted more and an old man who"well, the book hasn't given us those answers yet. What it has given us is proof that sometimes, the second trip around is just as compelling as the first. Read Full Review
There's always something a little bit unnerving and spooky in Lemire's writing. His descriptors always seem to paint the perfect picture but that picture is often of something slightly (or very much so) supernatural and eerie. When you couple that skillset with art also provided by Lemire here, that one-two punch combo is incredibly effective at setting an unsettling tone in the work. Add in the gorgeous color work of Villarubia and letters by one of my favorite letterers in Steve Wands (although sadly replacing another Comic Watch favorite letter in Pat Brosseau) and you've got the makings of an incredible new mini-series from a brilliant creative team.

Sweet Tooth: The Return #1 is a good start/continuation that is full of mystery and intrigue that might be better if you read the original, but is somehow new user friendly as well. There are so many reasons to give this one a look, but the main one is it's damn good! Read Full Review
Jeff Lemire returns to one of his greatest works with an opening chapter that leaves the reader thoroughly entertained while begging for answers. Read Full Review
Sweet Tooth: The Return #1 is an interesting debut. While it doesn't have me wanting to see what has come before, I want to see where the series goes. The story of attempting to escape your current reality is something that's very relevant to today and the religious aspect to it makes it all the more intriguing. As someone new to the world of Sweet Tooth, I'm excited to see where it all goes and watch Lemire work his usual magic. Read Full Review
Sweet Tooth: The Return is an interesting, challenging, and absorbing sort of read. If you have the patience, this is a work that is contemplative and moving as the story that takes place between the panels is captivating. You just need to let it in. Read Full Review
It's a solid return, but Sweet Tooth: The Return #1 leaves a lot to be desired. Read Full Review
I'm a big fan of SWEET TOOTH and you can tell how excited i am right now reading this new series. It gave the feeling of a re-hashed story at first but as you dive deeper into the story you instantly realised that it's not the case. I'm totally invested into this one and on a side note: it does feel nostalgic and heartwarming to have SWEET TOOTH back though the original series had a great ending.
Didn't expect a sequel, didn't ask for a sequel, but I'll take it.
Sweet tooth is one of my favorite runs of all time, so yeah... I'm excited about this and the first issue didn't disappoint. 🤘
First foray into the Sweet Tooth series, big fan of Black Hammer though.
