"The Taxidermist" concludes as Thacker leads his crew on an all-out assault on Simpson's camp in an attempt to slaughter the mysterious antlered child! But will the child live on, or will the plague spread? Jeff Lemire and Matt Kindt conclude their mini-epic in bloody fashion with implications that will affect Gus, Jepperd and more.
Matt Kindt's stint on this arc has been perfectly suited to the nature of this narrative, resulting in a painted look that feels right at home within this series but offers a fundamental stylistic difference at the same time. Kindt's harsh strokes and oftentimes abstract approach to backgrounds and characters underline the primitive environment that these characters have found themselves in and, more importantly, their primal instinct to survive and protect. Sweet Tooth #28 is more about raw emotion and instinct than anything else, and Kindt's approach to his art " from his linework to the colors " reflects that every bit. Read Full Review
The Taxidermist was an excellent side story that ended up adding a lot to the main narrative that Lemire has been slowly developing. After reading this, I cannot wait to get back into the swing of things with Jepperd, Gus, and company. It's going to be something else. Read Full Review

And with a guest creator to boot. It's a good issue, but NOT a jumping on point. Maybe come back next issue or start from the beginning. Read Full Review
