Sweet Tooth #1

roxanne_starr's Sweet Tooth #1 - Out of the Deep Woods, Part One review

How Sweet it is...not!

Well, now I know the reason for the title. The hero of this book, Gus, likes chocolate bars. That's the only sweet thing about this comic.
 
Gus is the victim of an unnamed disease or genetic defect which has manifested itself in his having antlers. Other children afflicted by this maledy appearently show other abnormalities, such as being covered in fur.
 
His father is also the victim of an unnamed disease. So was his mother, before she died. But this is not the disease that the children have. It seems to be something akin to tuberculosis. 
 
Gus and his father live in a forest where hunters go around blowing each others brains out.
 
This is a lighthearted and uplifting comic...not! It is also extremely light on copy, so it can be read in about 3 minutes. The art is fair enough, though not really to my liking. Compared to this title, the Walking Dead is a laugh riot.

In this issue we learn that the boy has already lost his mother to illness, and his father soon goes the same way. The boy’s curiosity for the out side world takes him away from the safety of his hom...

G Man and a few others have reviewed this, so I'll keep this short.   Sweet Tooth #1 is awesome in my opinion! It has an almost, The Village, feel to it. Gus the deer like boy lives in a forest with his dying dad. He is warned not to leave, ever. Gus hears things in the woods a few times as he gathers wood. Twigs snapping etc. He then finds a candy bar in the snow, as you see in the cover image. All throughout the book Gus has a dream of a man looking at him, his face, the big man. At the end af...
