crabbygirl reviewed Sweet tooth by Jeff Lemire
Review of 'Sweet tooth' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
(this is an overall review for volumes 3 to 5 which I read in a batch)
picking up were we left off, Jepperd has a change of heart and rescues Gus along with a few other hybrids, 2 enslaved women, a doctor and a hick. so now there's a gang to root for. we get to see their backstories - inked in unique ways - and care as much for them as the original duo. there's a sidetracked story involving the inuit and a great take on unit art.
just like The Walking Dead, they appear to find a paradise in which to live but of course it is a scam. Gus is growing older, looking more like a teen by the end of these books than a child. and now that he's got what amounts to a hybrid teen girlfriend, the story has more places to go.

i'll say it again: the art work is stunning - this author is a true creator: story AND artwork.
