Art and Cover by JEFF LEMIRE

This review contains spoilers, click here to read
This is the issue where Sweet Tooth finally came together for me. This is where all of Jeff Lemire's obvious talent seemed to coalesce for me into a really perfect monthly issue. You know the last page is coming for half the issue, but it doesn't matter. It's the slow build up to that reveal that makes it his hard whether it's a surprise or not.
I like the feel of the Beyond Thunderdome trading town that Jepperd, stumbles into after he finally buries his wife's body, so that he can try to drink away all his disappointment and shame. It's a familiar kind of place, but Lemire's art style still shapes it into something novel and uniquely depressing.
I love the quiet beats of this story. Having seen that depiction countless times of someone about to shoot themselves only to decide against it a second later, Lemire still managed to make it extremely powerful when Jepperd is about to do it. Jepperd is a survivor. It's the trait that his wife seemingly loved him for, if Jepperd is to be believed. Central to his identity is that he is someone who can't give up or let himself be defeated, so what does someone like that do when they have nothing left to fight for. He doesn't decide that life is worth living. He simply doesn't kill himself because he's a survivor. He'll go and trade his guns for booze and drink his pain away, but he can't let himself die. That's no who he is.
