Sweet Tooth #2

by Jeff Lemire

Sweet Tooth is quite different from everything else Lemire has published. His art is a tighter (although that could just be the effect of it being published in colour), and he is building a whole world in his story.

In this issue, Gus sets out on the road with Jeppard, the man who saved his life last issue. Jeppard's motivations and intentions are unreadable at this point, and I can't tell if him taking Gus to the Preserve is going to be a good thing or not.

This is an unusual story, even for Vertigo, and I hope it gets a healthy enough run to allow the tale to play out at Lemire's pace.
