Sweet Tooth #1
In "Out of the Deep Woods, Part One," Jeff Lemire delivers a haunting, character-driven start to a new chapter in the Sweet Tooth saga, weaving together grief and memory with the quiet dread of a world still unraveling. As Jepperd grapples with loss and the weight of the past, flashbacks reveal the fragile bond he once shared with his wife amid the collapse of civilization, while unseen forces prepare to dissect the last of the animal children. With Jeff Lemire handling every aspect of the interior art and José Villarrubia’s evocative colors grounding the story, the issue unfolds with a somber, atmospheric intensity. The cover, also by Lemire, captures the melancholy and isolation at the heart of this tale.
