#Sweet tooth comic series
A lot of the imprint’s biggest names were taking their ideas to other independent publishers, but Lemire stayed loyal and signed an exclusive contract with DC, for which he would write multiple superhero series while producing his own creator-owned work for Vertigo. Sweet Tooth was one of the flagship titles of DC Comics’ now-shuttered mature-readers imprint Vertigo at the end of the aughts and the early 2010s, a period when Vertigo’s popularity was starting to wane. A charming coming-of-age story wrapped in postapocalyptic tragedy, Sweet Tooth manages to address its horrific circumstances with tenderness and warmth, inviting viewers to settle into Gus’s home before he triumphantly leaves it.

Gus has lived his entire life in a secluded cabin in Yellowstone National Park, protected by his Pubba (Will Forte), who fled society before its total collapse. Netflix’s Sweet Tooth, an adaptation of the Vertigo Comics series written and drawn by Jeff Lemire, follows a 10-year-old deer-human, Gus (Christian Convery), as he makes his way through a world ravaged by two simultaneous, potentially connected crises: A virus has killed off most of the earth’s population, and all new births are half-human hybrids. Turns out pandemic entertainment is much more appealing when it’s about an adorable deer boy.
