Description
Following on the heels of The Nobody, writer/artist Jeff Lemire pens his first ongoing series, Sweet Tooth.
A cross between Bambi and Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Sweet Tooth tells the story of Gus, a rare new breed of human/animal hybrid child who has been raised in isolation following an inexplicable pandemic that struck a decade earlier. Now, with the death of his father, he's left to fend for himself... until he meets a hulking drifter named Jepperd, who promises to help him. Jepperd and Gus set out on a post-apocalyptic journey into the devastated American landscape to find 'The Preserve,' a refuge for hybrids.
Gus reluctantly joins Jepperd on a missing-persons hunt, but tension between the two continues to grow. Meanwhile, Singh and Johnny come face to face with a deadly new threat, and Lucy and the girls meet Walter Fish, an enigmatic survivor who may have more to offer than meets the eye. Will this lead to a new sanctuary for them, or something far more dangerous?
