This fourth volume of the Sweet Tooth comic book series feels much smaller in scale than the previous volume, but it still packs an emotional punch. The main characters are now a group of survivors much like you would see on The Walking Dead. However, the people in this ensemble interact much more naturally and seem more like real people going through a tough time. The new character Walter Fish is interesting. I have a feeling that there is something wrong or off about him, but I can not quite put my finger on it. We know he is lying about how he obtained the dam as a living quarters and he gets just a little creepy with one of the characters, but he still shows some signs of being a good person. The volume then features a nice little side mystery and respite before the supposedly bigger events of the finale.
The women's back-stories! Illustrated by guest artists (Nate Powell!). An at-once creepy and kind crippled dude who lives in a hideout under a defunct dam! A bear attack! Sinister happenings! Someone gets sick! A lot of big feelings in this one, but subtly played. A lot of the reader knowing more than the characters in a gut-tugging way. A spooky near-death sequence. Starting to feel more like a LOST scenario, so of course, I love it. Ahh! Anthologize the rest ASAP!
This is slowly becoming my latest favorite on-going post-apocolyptic comic series!
Man, this series is just getting better and better.
