by Jeff LemireIt's not surprising that this is another excellent issue of Sweet Tooth. This series has been amazing right from the beginning, and this month's chapter is no exception.
Lemire splits the pages into two plot-lines. The top of each page is concerned with Jeppard and Gus. When we last saw them, a wild looking bear was coming at them. The bear gets the drop on Jeppard, and drags Gus away with it, prompting the older man to come to his rescue. This part of the comic is wordless, but Lemire uses an interesting twist on thought bubbles to help us understand what the three characters are thinking (including the bear).
The lower third of each page shows us what the three girls in Gus's group are up to. They've met a man in the woods who has taken them into a dam that had been converted by a group of scientists into a sustainable bio-dome like structure. There are more than a few ways in which this corresponds to the Dharma Initiative in Lost, and I feel like the seemingly kindly man is keeping some secrets from them. Great stuff once again.
