Sweet Tooth revolves around protagonist Gus, a half breed boy with antlers, and his friend Jeppard, who helps Sweet Tooth. The world of Sweet Tooth occurs in a post-apocalyptic world where many of the inhabitants of Earth have been killed due to an unknown virus. The only children that have been born after the apocalypse are these half-breeds (I don't know if I am the only one that wonders how in the hell a mother can give birth to a child with antlers, but that is another discussion). In this world, the half-breeds have become a commodity, being sold for experiments. Gus meets up with Jeppard, who promises to protect him and take him to a sanctuary called "The Preserve" that is for these half-breed children.
The story telling, I find, is engulfing. Once you pick up an issue and start reading it, all you want in the next month to come my to pick up the next issue. Lemire's art is so original. No one in the business draws like him. It is raw and edgy, but really beautiful at the same time. The comic is on issue 10 as of June. This collection allows a great jumping in opportunity for readers.
I definitely give this collection a 5/5.
