My favourite of the three deluxe editions, broad reaching, bittersweet and healing in its own way

ett bra slut skulle jag säga. känns lite tomt att ha läst klart hela serien men den var väldigt värd att läsa o jag tror jag uppskattar den mer som helhet än delarna för sig. kanske att titta på netflix serien nu o klaga på att det inte är som i böckerna

Grumpy men adopting children IS my weak spot, how did you know??

A moving, gory, and highly satisfying conclusion to an excellent comic book series. Jeff Lemire’s work is saturated with a broad range of themes such as man’s relationship to his environment, the morality of science, prejudice and empathy, family, privilege, and the list goes on. Character development and world building are probably the two strongest features of the series, along with some surprisingly dark artwork.

This is a reminder that if you haven’t read SWEET TOOTH by @jefflemire …well, you need to!

The Sweet Tooth Trilogy tells the story of Gus. A hybrid child in a post apocolyptic world who has no idea that he is different. He has been raised with his father in a cabine in the woods - never meeting another person. A pandemic has struck the earth and all babies born after the pandemic hits are hybrids of animals and people - all different levels of intelligence. The humans set out to kill all the hybrids, or bring them to scientist to study them and find out why all the humans are still dying while the hybrid children are thriving.
Gus' father dies and he meets a man named Jepperd who promises to help him. For the first time, Gus (nicknamed Sweet Tooth for his love of chocolate) leaves the safety of his cabin and his woods and follows Jepperd into the world. What follows is the discovery of other children like him, the people who want to help them and to harm them, and his quest to find out the truth of where he really came from.
This was a great series. It is an acclaimed graphic novel and soon to be a Netflix series, so I wanted to check it out. It was really good. I became invested in the story (of course it is my favorite genre - dystopian) and the mystery surrounding Gus and his beginning and the hybrid children. Once I read the first novel I quickly got the next two because I had to see how it ended and I was no disappointed. It is a well told story and it wraps up in my favorite way - in the future with a follow up of the characters.
If you like graphic novels, dystopian future stories and are curious about the Netflix show - check this out. IT was a pretty quick read, and I am so glad I read it.
Stars: 4 1/2
