The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[Punchy]

Another good issue of Sweet Tooth, this book consistently delivers month in, month out. It was really cathartic to see Walter/Haggarty get his, and for it to be at the hands of Gus and the other weaker people, rather than Jepperd, for once he doesn’t have to save the day. But it’s not for lack of trying, I loved the stuff with Jepperd and his new friend, I had guessed that he knew him from his Pro-Ice Hockey days, and the bit where they skated down the river together was brilliant. I like how Lemire has a theme of Ice Hockey in his comics, yes it’s stereotypically Canadian, but it’s cool. How about an Animal Man Hockey issue? It’s interesting that Walter/Haggarty is still around somewhere, what are the odds he becomes a recurring villain? Or perhaps he just up and died in the snow? I wonder where the book is going to go now, Gus seemed to kind of break-off the epic vision quest thing when he ran away from Singh, but maybe they’ll get back to it? It seemed like after the Taxidermist stuff which was really mythology heavy, Lemire took a bit of a step back from it with this arc, can he keep switching it up like this?

I loved the ice skating scene, it was so fun in such a grim kick in the nuts every month book. I felt bad for Jeppard at the end of this issue, poor guy... It will not end well for him I fear.
