review 1: 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... more supposedly bigger events of the finale.
review 2: This was definitely the low point in the series for me so far. The action slowed way down and the characterization sort of hit a wall. You do still find out more about the girls in the group, and it's done in an interesting way, but it feels like it's being done as filler and out of obligation, not because it adds a new dimension to the story. When you found out about Jeppard and Singh there was other stuff happening at the same time and it directly correlated to their motivations in the overall story. The girls' histories do the same, but their motivations aren't really what's driving anything forward right now, so it felt tacked on. Also, this book starts out with an issue that was laid out in landscape instead of portrait for some reason. Yes, interesting choice; however, in a trade binding it's just sort of awkward to hold and get used to. This was another one where there was just sort of a meandering plot with minor developments that felt more like a recap of what's been happening so far, rather than anything to move our story forward. The book also sets up a new subplot/subvillain for the first time. Being a set number of issues, I don't see the point in this. It's really just a wrinkle that makes the rest of the story more complicated and difficult. I'm not sure I'm a fan of it. There's certainly some mystery surrounding these new characters and locations, but there's overall just too much exposition. However, there is some clear evidence at the end of the volume that things will likely pick back up in volume 5. Given that we're only 2 volumes from the end of the series, I'm pretty interested in how everything will play out to wrap up the story. From an art perspective, the style continues to grow on me. It was nice to see some other artists come in for the girls' flashbacks. It gave a nice dissonance to how they see the world compared to each other, Gus, Jeppard, and the reader. There's also some beautiful watercolor panels done in the last two issues that are phenomenal. It's still a great book, and I still enjoyed it, but it wasn't a page turner and some characters' motivations got a bit muddy. I'm hoping for a turnaround for the final two volumes, and I'm eager to buy and read both of the as well. less

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!
