Sweet Tooth, Volume 1: Out of the Deep Woods

I enjoyed reading this whole series in general, I liked some volumes more than others. But, I still think about this book sometimes. These books are dark themed and emotional.

Nice world building, kept me interested. Characters were well written and art was very nice.

I've seen this talked about throughout the years but I was never in a rush to read it. Once Netflix announced the release date for the adaptation I knew I wanted to read this graphic novel series. I didn't read anything about this going in so I went in pretty much blind. The graphics were amazing but a little “dull” for me. Put for the overall story I think it fit I just prefer bright graphics. This was also pretty graphic. Honestly I kind of expected this to be a graphic novel for kids but that is definitely not the case. As I said it it pretty graphic and the subject matter definitely isn't for kids. I think it was a great start to a series but not a whole lot happens in this one and we are just thrust into the story so we don't really get to know the characters or what is really going on in this post apocalyptic world but I am hopeful that we will learn more in the following books which I will be reading very soon.

An amazing start for the series.

Definitely one of the weirder dystopian works I've ever read. It suffered from the traditional “Vertigo vol 1” problem of too much setup, not enough story. Probably worth reading if you're going to be willing to commit to the whole series - it felt like it'll take awhile to pay this story off.

Interesting start. Very bleak.

Very very very good. Pretty much anything Jeff Lemire writes is engaging and different, so I picked Sweet Tooth from issue one. The story has only gotten better from there, and I've felt like every comic I put on my pull list in 09 has let me down aside from this and a few scant others.
