Sweet Tooth: Animal Armies by Jeff Lemire
Earlier this year I reviewed volumes 1 and 2 of the Sweet Tooth series, Out of the Deep Woods and In Captivity. Volume 3, Animal Armies is out now and I was the first person at my library to check it out.
Gus is being held captive at a compound where the are experimenting on hybrid children such as himself, to try to come up with a cure that is killing the non-hybrids. Now the man who brought him there, Jepperd has a plan to get Gus back out. He had originally brought Gus there in exchange for his wife's remains. She died trying to deliver their baby. Jepperd was glad to be able to give his wife a proper burial but felt guilty for what he was forced to do to get her back.
4/5

I just read the second volume after asking my library to buy it. I will have to get them to buy this one, too, but I like to space things out so I don't seem greedy...

I'm going to have to get my library on this as well. I check the graphic novel shelf every time I go, but it's always the same sad state of affairs.

Kailana, our library system here is great about ordering in books requested. I didn't have to ask for this one, it was already on order and I was the first hold on it.
John, too bad. You should get them to order it.

I still need to read that second book! Glad to hear that you're enjoying this series and that it appears more are in the works.

Wanda, I hope you enjoy it. It was you and John who got me addicted to Jeff Lemire in the first place. LOL!
