‘The world trembled as the boy approached. And when he arrived, it cowered like a beaten dog.’
A horror graphic novel about a 16 year old girl who unknowingly gives birth to the Antichrist.
The story bounces back and forth between the first few months of the baby being born and what appears to be a post apocalyptic time.
The artwork and storytelling are great. It has left me intrigued for more.

This book is not for the faint of heart but it is pretty funny. By just the description, you could guess at the content within. Yes, there's violence and gore, yes there's cursing. Expect it and, if you're still interested, read it. I may have found it even more humorous due to the setting and the fact that I live an hour or so away, but that's me. Either way, I really liked it and look forward to reading more in the series.
I would like to thank the publisher, author, and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Well this was a surprise! Who would have thought a comic about an anti-christ would hook me like this.

Billed as a Juno-meets-The Omen kind of story, Babyteeth is a retrospective story narrated by Sadie, a teen mom who discovers she got more than she bargained for. Part humor, part horror, it starts with how the birth of her son literally causes an earthquake. Then comes the part where she has her family's support to survive what's coming ahead.
Sadie is a little scared at first, as expected of any teen mom. Her ex-marine dad and her delinquent older sister are badasses and she is afraid to tell him she was pregnant and her (sister) who the father of the child is. (Nah, it was another plain ole human teen) In any case, she gets through the delivery (during which she dies for a second there) and gets home, but she is still unsure of how to be a mother at her age. Her vulnerability shines through at moments like when she is not able to hush the child but her dad helps out. But even before she can get over the fact that now she is responsible for a human(-ish) life, she discovers, to her horror, that her kid likes blood - specifically only hers (at the moment). The author brings out the utter disbelief in her sister and father and the total bonkers-ness (that is a word, right?) of the situation. Conceptually, it is carried out very well. Following this, there is an assassin out for her kid (and of course that assassin belongs to some weird cult) and another weird dude who saves her sister and comes to help out with protection.
The artwork of the book is very atmospheric - a lot of dark scenes, overwhelming red in color scheme and creepy kid smiles perfected. The alternate covers are also excellent conceptual models. This is a graphic novel you definitely want to sink your creepy teeth into. ;)

This story is exhilarating, and has already built up a satisfactory amount of lore within the first five issues. The Ritter family displays such a raw commitment for each other that they had me nearly in tears at multiple points, and I'm going to be devastated if any one of them doesn't survive what's to come. I am definitely excited to read further.
