The first half of the book takes the story back to 1911 where a wealthy young Englishman goes in search of his brother-in-law who has disappeared after going to Alaska to spread the word of god to the native Eskimos. But what he finds in the snowy wasteland is the beginning of the end for humanity... Meanwhile back in the main storyline, Gus and Jepperd find out the real story behind the Evergreen Project. The biggest problem I had with the book is in the first half of the book where it’s reveal...

The first half of this is a flashback to 1911 and the origins of the plague. As it stands it was a bit dumb and I expected better. We'll see if Lemire straightens it all out in this last trade. These issues are drawn by Matt Kindt and if you have a problem with Jeff Lemire's art, you're going to have a snit fit over how bad Kindt's is. The art is terrible. It honestly looks like it was drawn by a child.In the second half of the book we return to the dam where Walter may not be as nice as he port...

This was a strange one. It was unlike any of the volumes that came before it. It had the darkest moment I've read in this series so far and it also had the goofiest, most unbelievable moment. So, this starts with a letter from a doctor in 1911. It's all a narrative from his point of view as he travels to Alaska to rescue his brother in law to be. There's a lot of animosity between these white men and the native population. They wake up to find their dogs have been slaughtered viciously and assum...

Hey, so this is the one of my series re-read where I disagree with my past self. Not emotional enough?! BOBBY. BOBBY WAS HURT AND THERE WAS JEPPERD/GUS ANGST. THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME.Also because I knew now about the pagan aspect of the sickness, I wasn't as disappointed re-reading the first half of the volume, I still wish the source of the plague was never explored, but hey, it wasn't as disappointing as I remembered it.As for the other half, it was sad, and there were a few nice moments, but I g...

This was an unconventional volume split into two parts. The first one gives us the much-needed origin story that everyone has been looking forward to. Was it satisfying? Not so much. The structure of the story made it harder to connect with the tragedy that it was going to present. The second half of the volume gets right into the action with big reveals and new bonds, preparing everyone for the final journey to Alaska.Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookido...

Love this graphic novel series so much! This is in my top 3 ever. Such a unique well told story. Dystopian but a spin I've never seen before

Me after reading this :So in my feels right now .

***WARNING***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD******2ND WARNING***STOP IF YOU MUST***THE plague may have stemmed in 1911. Through the diary of James Thacker we learn he set sail in search of Louis Simpson, who was to marry James' sister, but who never returned home from his mission to Alaska to Christianize the "savages". James lands in a desolate, cold land and finds that the missionaries died from a plague. However, Louis survived and joined the Inuits and adopted their lifestyle. Louis fell in love wit...

WHY DOES THE ART STYLE CHANGE IN EACH BOOK!The font choices have also been horrendous throughout the series. The reason behind the plague better not be some spiritistic mess or I refuse to continue with this.

You know what every apocalypse has? One big huge asshole who seems dead set on doing whatever the polar opposite of the protagonist is doing. Why? There's always got to be some asshole ruining the fun for everyone.Apocalypse books are kind of all the rage right now, or maybe that's just starting to die down, but part of me wonders whether those kind of people would really show up? More to the point, who are all these crazy assholes they always get to hang out with them?"Hey Pete, it's the apocal...

This was surprisingly good.It opens with the tale of Dr James Thacker whose on a quest to find his Brother in law Louis and along with a crew he goes to Louis place of expedition but what he finds there is shocking and after so many losses he finds the answer and we come to know what is happening and how Louise is connected to it but the shocking happenings of what that plague is and what the doc does is..something. Plus we finally get some context as to why the world is this way.In present time...

This far into the series, it's hard to come up with anything to say that doesn't involve spoilers. One assumes that anyone who's read volumes 1-4 isn't going to skip 5 because of a bad review, nor is anyone likely to start reading with that volume simply because of a good one. If I wasn't so in love with my own prose, I'd probably skip this altogether. ;-) Anyway, Sweet Tooth still rocks. Quality is still high. We get a glimpse of the possible origins of the sickness, and Gus gets more decisive....

Here is my full series review for volumes 1-6.That back story was completely not what I was expecting. I thought I had most of this series figured out, but of all the "explanations" we could've received...? Yeah. Not what I was expecting. I was kind of hesitantly approaching the end here, but after reading this volume, I feel ready to continue, full steam ahead.

One of the better volumes so far. We get two 3 part stories, the first of which is told in expeditionary logs an route to Northern Alaska circa 1911. This serves as an origin story for the hybrid plague. I find most of the plague/hybrid lore nearly laughable, however Lemire still manages to tell a great tale, and that's what keeps me coming back for more.The second arc continues the main quest. This focused on some heavily foreshadowed events, and there are conclusions of sorts. There weren't ma...

I appreciated that this volume gave more historical context to the sickness. I found that to be quite interesting. We also got a fun twist thrown in towards the end, which spiced things up a bit. This series has been incredibly solid so far. Can't wait to see how everything wraps up in the next installment.

Oh! So a little backstory on where Gus and the other hybrid kids may have descended from in the form of a diary written by a man in the early 1900s.Shit happened in Alaska a long time ago that started with some missionaries that got all excited about saving an Inuit tribe that didn't need saving. But everything really went tits up when one of the dudes came across the tombs of some ancient gods and accidentally released a plague. <--right after his wife gave birth to a little boy that looked a h...

3.5 Stars

4.5 STARSinteresting turn of events, but can't say I didn't see it coming.

Reread, July 2021.After the damn dam volume four, we get a three issue flashback story drawn by Matt Kindt which explains the origin of the plague and the hybrids, taking place in 1911, involving an expedition to Alaska and finding a hybrid with antlers like Gus. If you don't like Jeff Lemire's sketchy artwork--and I do, so much!!-- then you are not going to like Kindt's Alaska artwork, but again, I think it is just perfect in a kind of journalistic, you-are-there way. I know I am in the minorit...

Unnatural Habitats gives the readers the much anticipated backstory of the world of Sweet Tooth. To be honest, it wasn't how I thought things would turn out , but I was not dissatisfied as well. Jeff Lemire has introduced some fantasy and mythological elements in this volume and he has managed to incorporate it well enough with whatever was set up so far. The twist in the book is not unexpected at all, and I believe that many readers saw it coming. However, this doesn't take away the enjoyment t...
