Jeff Lemire’s epic story about an orphaned young boy with antlers and a love of chocolate wows readers on a monthly basis. In SWEET TOOTH Vol. 3: Animal Armies, collecting issues #12-17, Gus and the other hybrid kids meet a new ally in the militia camp, but will he help them find a way out? And Jepperd begins to assemble an army of his own to take down the militia camp. But can he control the forces he's set in motion?

“SWEET TOOTH is like Mad Max with antlers. . . . spellbinding and offbeat.” –USA TODAY.com

"Like a Coen brothers road-trip drama, "SWEET TOOTH," by indie comics fave Jeff Lemire, is a fantastic post-apocolyptic comic.” —AM NEW YORK

“Excellent.” –USA TODAY/POP CANDY

“Jeff Lemire’s amazing postapocalyptic comic SWEET TOOTH: bloody and gentle all at once.” –New York Magazine (Approval Matrix Lowbrow/Brilliant)

“Sweet Tooth is a grabber from the get-go . . . Lemire retains his gift for imbuing ordinary moments with a sense of wonder.” –THE A.V. CLUB

“One of comics’ finest current books.” –ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“Sweet Tooth is a quirky and intelligent story; thoughtful but unflinching, a coming-of-age fable punctuated with hardcore violence. There are poetic moments, as when Gus suddenly comes face-to-face with a full-grown buck in the woods. There are also disturbing and shocking scenes worthy of, say, The Road Warrior. . . . Lemire’s text is densely crafted, with nary a word wasted, and a perfect complement to his spare, sketchy artwork.” –SCIFI DIMENSIONS

No matter how many times we might have seen the post-apocalyptic tale in comics, Lemire makes it seem fresh again. . . . It's the fusion of Lemire's art and writing that make this series function so smoothly and elegantly. . . . Captivating, elegantly sparse world of SWEET TOOTH.” –IGN
