Sweet Tooth Vol. 1: Out of the Deep Woods by Jeff Lemire
4.0
I knew nothing about this except for the cover artwork which looked interesting.
I was very pleasantly surprised by how quick the story sucked me in. I immediately got vibes of the walking dead, Shyamalan's The village and McCarthy The road.
The characters are great, Gus is written perfectly and I immediately connected with him.
The only issue I have is that the artwork wasn't appealing to me at first. It was far too abrasive and rough but within a few pages it grew on me. It definitely has it own style, with its raggedy humans and emaciated looking animals. I especially liked the use of the long stretched out shadows and Gus's profile.
Overall, a great start to a series which I will continue.
