Sweet Tooth Vol. 4: Endangered Species by Jeff Lemire



After finally breaking Gus and the rest of the animal kids out of their captivity, Jeppard and a small group head north to Alaska to see if they finally discover the truth of the plague that killed the world and the origin of Gus.  Along the way, they discover an old dam with a mysterious crippled man named Walter Fish living in it.

The series starting off as a very slow series for me when I first read the first volume of it, but overtime, it has gradually grown into a dark and fasincating tale of survival in a hostile and dying world, much like The Road.  The artwork by Jeff Lemire is rather ugly, but matches well with the tone of the story.  I especially like the sequences where everything is done with water colors.

Sweet Tooth I find to be a very underrated and a lot of the times, overlook comic in the grand scheme of things.  With Jeff Lemire finding more and more success as he currently writes Animal Man, Frankenstien, and later on Justice League Dark; I hoping those runs can encouraging people to check out this work.  It's a slow burn, but the characters and mystery are so worth the journey.

I started reading my copy of 1984 which I bought 3 years ago.......I'm 7 chapters in and love it

I just finished A Dance with Dragons...I had waited to buy it because I'd read so many bad reviews, but I enjoyed it greatly.

Not to long ago I read all of Stieg Larson's books (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, The Girl Who Caused a Bit of a Ruckus, The Girl's Who's Only In Half the Book Yet Still Gets a Title Mention, etc).  

I have to say, while I thought they were good, I'm not sure they're 65 million copies sold good.  I suppose certain parts (especially dealing with various historical events) carry more weight if you're from Sweden, but to me, I think the biggest problems is Lisbeth Salander, by far the most interesting character in the three novels, is not even really the focus.  I mean, she's only in about half the first book, and the next two books, while a direct result of her actions, she's missing for big chunks as we go around seeing what other characters are doing.  (I often kept thinking, "Come on, let's get back to Sally!")

Have you ever read LES MISERABLES?  Jean Valjean disappears for huge chunks of the book while they talk about historical events and introduce new characters.
