I think sometimes the art style really works, and other times it's just quite off-putting. The core concept is great, but it feels like it's trying way too hard to be gritty and edgy.

I'm not a big fan of the art style but the story is good. I only came to see the difference between the comic and the show.

So different from the show. A lot more bleak and filled with dread.

I've come to realize that the comic and the Netflix adaptation are vastly different, though I don't prefer one over the other. Both are amazing forms of storytelling. The show is a little more friendly while the comics are dark and brutal. The art is cartoonish and arguably a little rough on the eyes, but it's purposeful and has character. I got used to it by the end. I think the strongest aspect of Sweet Tooth is the characters and how their story unfolds. The story moves at a respectable pace and the transitions from one panel to the next are fluid and very clever in some places (especially past to present). For me, this was a very smartly told narrative and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the volumes.
