Sweet Tooth: The Return #1

The antlered, deer-eared boy on this cover stares out with wide, unsettled eyes — his torn red flannel clutched by an unseen hand against a cold, industrial metal backdrop — and it's an immediately arresting image that sets a tone of vulnerability and unease. This is issue one of a six-part DC Black Label miniseries, with Jeff Lemire both writing and drawing the story, joined by colorist José Villarrubia whose cool teal palette gives the cover a haunting, otherworldly quality. Fans of Lemire's singular vision will find this a compelling opening chapter to Sweet Tooth: The Return.
