I don't think it's spoiling much to say that Gus is freed from the camp by Jeppard. Anyone who didn't see that coming is so new to fiction in general that I have to question why they're starting here. This remains one of the most compelling post-apocalypse series I've read in a long time. It's rare to see an artist with such strong indie roots as Lemire so at home at a major comics publisher like DC. Standard career path would have been to keep working with D&Q, maybe publishing more graphic nov...

Gus aka Sweet Tooth is at the behest of evil scientists and Jepperd is rallying some questionable allies to free him - but will he be too late? I thought this third volume was a lot of back tracking from Jeff Lemire in terms of the story. The whole point of the first two books is basically undone in this third book and, besides learning a few new things about Gus, thought that it was more of the same from the first two volumes. The sort of desperate survivors fighting amongst themselves kind of

4.0 StarsThis volume was especially dark with some very violent moments. I look forward to reading the final three volumes soon.

Uggggh that was ROUGH!

Held captive in a secret lab, Sweet Tooth makes new friends and tries to find a way out of the prison, while Jepperd tries to free Sweet Tooth through his own ways.Animal Armies shows the perfect struggle between humanity and savagery, openly questioning who really are the mindless and cruel animals in the situations explored in the graphic novel.

Jeppard attempts to gather an army to storm the militia compound by talking to some cultists. Meanwhile, Gus and the other hybrid children try to escape. I love the innocence of the hybrid children. It's a sharp contrast in this bleak, dystopian future. While we find out a bit more about Gus's history, the end of this sets up the direction of the future of the series.

HOLY MOLY, the emotions.

Book blurb: In this third volume, Jeppard begins to form an army to topple the militia camp so he can rescue Gus and the other hybrid kids. But will he arrive too late to save anyone? This volumes collects issues #12-17.This is the third installment in a six part graphic novel series. We seem to have reached the middle of the story, when things pivot in a different direction, so there is more setup to be found here. I really loved the art at the start of this one - there are wordless pages telli...

Re-read: 06.19.19Gus's slow loss of innocence breaks my heart, and the story unravels in such a great place, I'm so glad to be re-reading this. My original thoughts are the same:4.5 Stars As we ride down on this goddamned place, ready to kill or be killed, I feel something I ain't felt in a long time... fear. When you ain't got nothing to lose, you ain't got nothing to be scared about, but all that's changed now. I think of Louise. I think of my baby... the baby I'll never know. The baby I'll

It seems like I like each new volume better than the previous one. This is the best volume yet. Loved the colors in this one, they were a bit more varied and vivid. This volume was interesting, it had some of the Dr. Singh recordings about H5-G9. We go back to the cabin where this story started. A bit of Gus' father's past is revealed. Just some clues, I bet we'll find out more in the following volumes. I liked seeing Johnny back. How he formed a similar relationship with Gus like he had with Je...

Lots of new developments in this volume. There are some intriguing teases of information about Gus and his origin. We're also given some new characters to chew on, and the twist towards the end was a nice touch. My only gripe was a certain character reaction to said twist, I would think they would've been more...idk...emotional about it maybe? The rest of the volume was pretty solid though. On to the next one!

I'm already in so much trouble for disappearing in order to read this. All I can say is, "worth it!" Volume 3 and 4 finally came in. I had to order them. I'm so addicted to this story right now. It's like the Walking Dead meets Bambi. Yes, that Bambi. Instead of Zombies this new sickness killed millions of people and if you survived and had a baby that child was a hybrid human/animal. It's so crazy, disturbing, and full of so many feels!! *sigh* I want to read the rest but can't and that saddens...

Still a 5 star read. I'm really loving this series. It has not let its grip off my heart as I'm reading it. There's a sense of doom and wishing that Gus will be in a safe place and that Jepperd is truly a good guy.***WARNING***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD***RECOUNT OF VOL. 3******2ND WARNING***STOP IF YOU MUST***Jepperd, Lucy and Becky head out to save Gus from captivity.

Jeff Lemire must have the biggest, heaviest heart this world has ever seen. An empath of infinite power, he must feel all of the sorrow in the world to be able to channel it into this book. Because it is heart aching and heartbreaking with a depth and volume that knows no rival. It's hard to define what this book is. What it isn't is The Road. It has heart. It isn't The Walking Dead. It's minimalist. It isn't Bambi. It's not for the faint of heart. I guess it's not really hard to define this boo...

I don't know Lemire's artwork - only what I've seen in this series - do I have to ask: are all the characters in Sweet Tooth supposed to be deformed, or is that just the way Lemire draws? I like the inks and colours, but the line work detracts mightily for me.On the plus side tho, we finally get some actual pacing and action - not just a teasing, but a real honest-to-god plot to follow. I believe that Lemire has this in mind all along, but damned if he didn't torment us with Seinfeld-esque absen...

The third volume of a terrific and inventive and moving and scary post-apocalyptic comics series, a reread in preparation for my watching the Netflix series adaptation. But it is even better than I remembered, so I am a little nervous about the tv series, that it won’t be worthy. In this volume we focus on the two main characters, Gus and Jepperd, emerging as a kind of father-son pair, a regular theme in Lemire’s work.Gus is imprisoned with other hybrid kids, all of whom we come already to care

Here is my full series review for volumes 1-6.Make or breaks for this graphic novel series:- Will you feel attached to the characters?- Can you appreciate the art style, which is kind of gritty and disfigured in a way? (I say "appreciate" and not "get past" because I honestly feel like the weirdness of the art adds to a dark story about hybrids, something that focuses on anatomical differences...)I love Gus and Jeppard and am growing more fond of all the other characters as well. I'm worried for...

Gus is stuck in the facility and meets a few other hybrid children like himself for the first time.The results are mixed.Jepperd has decided to rescue Gus, and along with two women he helped save from that nasty pimp in the first volume, is raising an army to storm the facility.The army itself is made up of some weird hillbilly cult that worships (or something?) these hybrid children.Meanwhile, the main doctor at the facility holding Gus is convinced he's the key to saving humanity. After hypnot...

Incredibly captivating to watch as Jepperd and Gus collide once again as their weaknesses drive them to build upon a father-son bond of emotional and physical survival. The plot twist around the end almost made me choke. Never did I see that coming but it does set things up beautifully for an eventual confrontation that is bound to destroy hearts.

This was packed full of action. Probably Lemire's best artwork I've seen to date also.This story definitely draws about questions of ethics, and it seems like Gus is becoming more tainted by the world with every passing issue. There were a few huge reveals. Lemire seems to be good at pacing out the story so as not to make us OD on revelations. So far he has handed me out enough answers to keep me hanging around.I keep getting Walking Dead vibes out of this volume. Seeing as the cast has a multit...
