Jeff Lemire may be putting Sweet Tooth and its band of hybrids down in December, but he ain’t going to be going quietly into the night. As if on command to remind my melancholic ass that the Tooth ending wouldn’t be the end of premiere, this preview of Lemire’s upcoming graphic novel has dropped. Damn, damn tasty.

Have you ever loved a series? Not enjoyed or flirted with, but truly loved a series? If you have, you’ll know it.
When you’re enamored of a narrative, the viewing of every episode isn’t just a desire, but a gahddamn need. After all, if the L-word’s being tossed around then you’ve become personally invested. Characters are no longer the fabrications of creators, but representatives of your own struggles. As symbols that have entrenched themselves within your own imagination, the characters are not caricatures, but as archetypal placeholders.
At that point, it’s not just about entertainment. It’s also about self-discovery.
What brings about this rumination? A cold brew and the realization that I’m in love with Sweet Tooth.
