Welcome to Litsy!

That was pretty good, though up to the point I've watched, I think the Netflix adaptation is better as it's taken more time to develop the back story, though that may well be addressed in later editions of the comic. Still, 4🦌, and I'll read the next volume if the library has it, but I'll cope ok if they haven't.

Started this today, but forced myself to stop at 61% for a couple of reasons. First, I'm supposed to be prepping for our 1st cub scout pack meeting of the school year. And second, I'm blowing through it too fast, and not sure when I can get a hold of vol. 2. This series isn't on my library`s Libby, and this is the only vol. available through #PrimeReading. That's how they get ya! Will have to go through library loans. I miss disposable income.

That was terrifying. Much darker than I anticipated (expectations set by Netflix trailer).

I will continue with both the original series and start the televised version.

Love this graphic novel. Good pandemic reading. RDJ and his wife produced the Netflix show based on this series, which starts next month.

Book mail is the best kind of mail! ? "The Rock From the Sky" is an early review book from @LibraryThing thank you so much! It looks so good! I saw the preview for the "Sweet Tooth" tv show and thought it looked good, so why not buy it? ? Have you read it? Are you looking forward to the tv show?

I went into this book not knowing anything about it, but ended up loving it.
How many of the things in this book apply to this stupid covid virus? Are we sure it wasnt written in 2020?

Here is what I have us reading. I plan to use green sticky notes and pens.

Hooray!! One of my all-time favorite graphic novels is getting a live action adaption for Netflix. I‘m very curious how it will turn out.

I thought I was being greedy this week and put the first three of Jeff Lemire's Sweet Tooth series on hold and now I wish I'd taken all of them out. It's so good. Good art, good science fiction.

Do any other #writersoflitsy wish they'd written something they were reading? I don't feel it very often, but when I do, it's the worst ache.

This was bizarre and sweet and a fun post-apocalyptic story. I loved Gus! This has been on my kindle for years, so now I have to track down volume 2...

#WeveGotIssues #CBBR

Haaaallo everyone. Here's a discussion thread for anyone that wants to talk about our last pick, Sweet Tooth. What did y'all think? Anyone planning on reading more? It's quite the cliffhanger ending, hey? 😜

Feel free to speak your thoughts and comments below!

This month's #CBBR #WeveGotIssues selection was a good one. Jeff Lemire is a great writer. I agree with @cobwebmoth that he knows how to write a compelling story. Poor Sweet Tooth is as innocent as they come. He's thrown into a post apocalyptic wilderness under the "protection" of Jepperd. Picture an older Negan leading Bambi through a militia controlled wilderness. Sad, violent, and well written. @TricksyTails @GrilledCheeseSamurai

Dark, creepy, violent, sad, and very good. I rather liked the art, and the post-apocalyptic storyline was a heartbreaker. I‘m invested enough in Gus‘s character to want to know what happens next, but not sure I‘m mentally able to handle the storyline. One to keep on the #TBR for when I feel better. Now, I need a bright, cheery palate cleanser.

I decided to give Jeff Lemire another try after not loving Essex Country, and I‘m glad I did. I kept avoiding this one, thinking that was blood on his face. However, it‘s chocolate and just goes to show I shouldn‘t assume when it comes to comics. This poor kid won over my heart and definitely made me want to follow his journey. I wasn‘t expecting the post-apocalyptic setting either. Looking forward to more.

Talk about a contrast from our last pick, Curse Words, hey?

This is early in Jeff Lemire's career and you can definitely see that in his artwork. I still love it though. I'm curious as to what you people think of his drawing style. Love it? Hate it?

This is certainly a heavy volume but the full run of trades tells a story that has stuck with me for years since I read it the first time.

I thought I‘d go ahead and start this month‘s #wevegotissues #cbbr selection since I am having trouble sleeping, but 12 pages in, it‘s so sad and creepy that I think I‘m going to have to save it for daylight. 😱😱

Another comic for #wevegotissues finished! I have read Lemire before and it seems he favors the subtle story over the brash, which is perfect. I am really interested to see where Gus goes and how he handles the ending of this. I am not fond of the art though, so this one wouldn't have been on my radar if not for thus group. So for that I am thankful, it's fantastic to branch out. 🌟🌟🌟1/2

I started this one tonight for #wevegotissues and I'm enjoying it. It's not my typical type of comic but it's pretty good. I do kind of hate the art though.

I also just realized I have read Lemire the first volume of his Descender series, which I loved!

"A cross between Bambi and Cormac McCarthy's the road."

@TricksyTails & I are So excited to announce this as out next #WeveGotIssues #CBBR!

This is a series that is already complete and the whole run is available As TPB's or deluxe hardcover editions but for the #CBBR we're just doing volume 1.

Whether it's your first time or a re-read (like us) join in and let us know what you think! ?

This is a quirky little graphic novel that has a bit of a Walking Dead vibe but where children born post-apocalypse have animal features. I need to keep reading and see what becomes of little Sweet Tooth!

Thank you @TheLibrarian for helping me to expand my reading interests into graphic novel territory 😄
#freakyfriday

Excited to finally read this! But it seems my library only has this book in the series though... ☹️

@TricksyTails Per your request 😃Here‘s my 2nd #LetMeSeeYourStack for the #LetsGetGraphicWeekLongMarathon Don‘t🤓mind Bulbasaur he‘s my stand-in for Dart lol 😂

LOVE!!

Kind of a Walking Dead theme with a genetic twist.

Jumping in to my #geekygraphicnovelswap loot!

Thanks @Marmie7 The books are perfect and I love the magnet! I know what I‘ll be reading this weekend 😊 #geekygraphicnovelswap

"All you children touch the sun
Burn your fingers one by one
Will this earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?"

What a great opportunity to feature one of my favourite graphic novel series! Sweet Tooth is seriously underrated.

#Riotgrams Day 6: Current Reads

Tore through this one last night because my hoopla borrowing was about to expire.

Very interesting, but definitely kind of a downer, even when compared to other post-apocalyptic fiction. Something about it being a child at the center of it all. Still, I'll continue reading.

(Also, this photo is an alternate cover, not a spoiler.)

A good October comic for fans of post-apocalyptic horror. It has much in common with Descender (the innocent boy hero, member of a hunted race in a world under threat of extinction) but with a grimier aesthetic and thread of backwoods religious extremism. I'm anxious to learn more about Gus and how he fits into the fate of his dying world.

Just finished this. I really liked it, good story, art style was okay for me. Overall it just felt a bit too short so I can't make up my mind about it yet. Definitely going to read the second book because some graphic novels need more volumes to show what they're worth, if that makes sense. I see potential in this one!

In a post-apocalyptic world, Gus, a hybrid human/animal, decides to leave his home after his father dies. It's a very weird story but one of my favorites! #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
