Introduction
Sooooo this is the second piece of media I’ve consumed this week about the struggles of being a mother so yeah I think this is a sign I really should start to realise how lucky I am to be a penis wielder as it has even more benefits then I first thought, one of these being I don’t have to deal with the chance of CONTRACTIONS SENDING EARTHQUAKES THROUGH THE BLOODY WORLD HOLY SHIT WE REALLY DON’T APPRECIATE WOMEN ENOUGH!

So yeah, now that’s out of the way I’m just gonna gush about how much I love Donny Cates as just by reading this I instantly want to buy every comic he’s ever made! Like just listen to this combo; what do you get when you add a rosemary’s baby esque situation (sans disgusting yucky Roman Polanski) + an air of mystery hooking you in via an unreliable narrator teasing us with what’s to come, splash that with the terrifying reality of being a pregnant teenager in a world where it is still seen in such a horrible light? You get a one-way ticket to the peaked interest of nearly every comic and horror fanatic. Luckily, I can safely say this debut issue of Babyteeth will not disappoint such interest as it DE-LIV-ERS!!!! Okay okayy maybe my nonsensical description isn’t doing this issue justice but luckily I have acquired this here handy official synopsis right here to do a better job then I ever could:
Sadie Ritter is sixteen years old, nine months pregnant, and scared out of her sweet nerdy mind. Having a baby that young is tough, but with the support of her loving family behind her, everything should be okay. OH YEAH, and also her baby is the antichrist and it’s going to break open the barriers between the earthly and demonic planes and unleash eternal suffering to all of humankind. Other than that, though…should be fine.

Well, that sounds ominous.
I actually kind of like this even though the artwork is somewhat pedestrian. I'm not certain where the story is going to go but I'm curious enough to continue on.
