Sweet Tooth: Deluxe Edition, Book One by Jeff Lemire
5.0
Lemire's post-apocalyptic world of disease and human-animal hybrids is a stark and brutal work which digs into some of the core ideas and drives of our humanity--fear, love, faith, belonging, betrayal, isolation.
The first two volumes of the story set the tone from the opening pages, and the desperate journey for survival draws the reader deeper into the world in all its violence and emptiness. But neither do they ignore the occasional moments of beauty and hope--the things that keep us going even when all seems lost.
Sweet Tooth is Lemire delving into some of the darkest and strongest pieces of his writing to deliver the beginnings of a survival epic that is a heart wrenching and striking work of art.
