Synopsis

This is a story. This is a story about us podcasting about one of the best DC comics ever, and one of the last great Vertigo ongoing series. This is a story about the next entry in our top 25 DC comics countdown! Coming in at #22 on our list... Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire, Jose Villarubia, and more! This science fiction post-apocalyptic coming of age story about the boy and the big man is one of the most evocative and touching comics DC has ever published. This is a story. We discussed Sweet Tooth in broad terms back when the first season of the Netflix adaptation came out. See episode 82 of our podcast. We also discussed another Jeff Lemire comic, Joker: Killer Smile, back in episode 51. We also talked a bit about Trillium, a later Lemire/Villarubia joint, in episode 37. Like we did for our Marvel top 25 list, we applied a set of criteria and scored all the DC books we've read to create our list. Our criteria are as follows: CRAFT. Is the comic technically sound? Is it well-written? Is it well-illustrated
