Whew, there was no shortage of gore in this volume. Definitely a lot more action here as Jepperd raises an army to free the hybrid children from "The Preserve" and maybe even get revenge on Mr. Abbot. Meanwhile, Dr. Singh is getting closer to solving the puzzle of where Sweet Tooth came from and how he might be connected to the plague. There's also an asshole wildcard character with a pack of wolf hybrids who reminds me a bit of The Governor from The Walking Dead. I wasn't sure what to expect with him, but it was definitely a nail-biter. I really enjoy the passion that these characters all have - Lemire does an excellent job of making all of his characters seem real, with back stories that are always ringing in the back of their minds, and you can tell! It's so easy (especially in comics) to just let some of the less important characters remain flat, stereotypical, listless props that only move and react when the story warrants it, but I haven't seen any of that in this series so far. I am becoming a bit hesitant about this whole crazy religion that's developing around Sweet Tooth's father's cryptic, prophetic "Bible." I'm looking forward to what's going on there but I hope Gus isn't actually some kind of immaculately concepted prophet. We will see...
Don't Panic - Megan's BookLikes
I really like books. Some favorites: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (duh), Pride & Prejudice, The Martian Chronicles, True Grit, The Idiot, Daughter of Smoke & Bone, and so on. I tend to be pretty eclectic in my reading habits. I definitely favor sci-fi & fantasy, classic literature, YA fiction, memoirs, and non-fiction (usually art-, craft-, or history- related). I might have a book hoarding problem, but that's okay. I don't mind.
