From out of the deep woods and the mind of acclaimed indie cartoonist Jeff Lemire (THE NOBODY, The Essex County Trilogy) comes a new Vertigo monthly ongoing series like no other! After being raised in total isolation, Gus a boy born with deer-like antlers is left to survive in an American landscape devastated a decade earlier by an inexplicable pandemic. Even more remarkable is that Gus is part of a rare new breed of human/animal hybrid children who have emerged in its wake, all apparently immune to the infection.Enter Jepperd, a violent, hulking drifter who soon takes in Gus and promises to lead him to "The Preserve," a fabled safe-haven f more
What matters is that Sweet Tooth #1 is a tremendous debut, and I have a hard time believing anyone who reads it won't be convinced to come back next issue. Both fans of Lemire's work and curious newcomers will find plenty of surprises in these twenty-two pages. Read Full Review
Ill be honest: I dont think I can do this comic justice by writing about it; you have to read it for yourself. Thankfully, the people at Vertigo seemed to know this, so they priced the first issue at only a $1.00.

Hey, if you are looking for something different, why not jump in on the ground floor and buy the first issue of Sweet Tooth? I can guarantee its at least one dollar cheaper than every other book youre thinking about buying this week. Read Full Review

As seen on Netflix
Amongst indie comics, "Sweet Tooth" opens with a story that's pretty standard under many aspects, but actually very interesting under others. Cool art as well.
