By Jeff Lemire Issue 10 of SWEET TOOTH is my favorite so far. Well, maybe issue 18 is now, but you haven’t seen that one yet, so I’ll stick with 10 for the time being. In that issue, featured in SWEET TOOTH Vol.2: IN CAPTIVITY (Out Dec.8), we take a break from the ongoing storyline as the mysterious, possibly evil Dr Singh hypnotizes Gus, the antlered protagonist of the series, and enters his mind…literally.

By Jeff Lemire Despite the fact that his doe-eyed face fills most of the covers of SWEET TOOTH, the series was never meant to be just about Gus. It was always going to be just as much about Jepperd, the mysterious, hulking drifter. Jepperd’s like Batman to Gus’ Robin, Butch to his Sundance, Tango to his Cash. You get the picture.

Gus quickly learns that the path to freedom may be deadlier than captivity. But can he do what it takes to keep the hybrids safe? And just who are those feral Dog-boys that have been haunting Gus's dreams since issue #3? These secrets and more finally revealed in SWEET TOOTH issue #15 on sale next week! [gallery link="file"]

Passing the one year mark with issue #13, SWEET TOOTH begins a new storyline September 1st! Gus and the other hybrid kids meet a new ally in the militia camp, but will he help them find a way out? Meanwhile, Jepperd and his new traveling companions head into the heart of "The Last City" looking for allies of their own. [gallery link="file"]
