For the past couple of years, Sweet Tooth has held that special spot in my heart as my favorite monthly comic. Not only has this post apocalyptic comic entertained me month in and month out with a story that is packed with emotion, action, a bit of romance, and a bit of bromance, but it has introduced me to Jeff Lemire, a man who has quickly become one of my most favorite comic creators.
His creator owned comics such as The Underwater Welder, Essex County, The Nobody, and Lost Dogs all hold a special place on my shelves, and in my heart. So when the 40th issue of Sweet Tooth is purchased, read, reread and filed away with it thirty-nine brothers there'll be an empty space in my pull box, and at the top of my most-loved-monthly-comics list.
The ending is just a beginning though right? Though I'll be sad when I turn that final page, we haven't seen the last of Jeff Lemire. He's slated to release Trillium later this year, a ten issue mini-series from Vertigo. I'll be looking forward to that.

If you haven't read Sweet Tooth yet, I strongly urge you to check it out. It is one of the very best comics of the last 5 years.
