Sweet Tooth, Vol. 1 by Jeff Lemire

Out of the Deep Woods

Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a mysterious pandemic, the story follows a young boy named Gus, who is part human and part deer, as he embarks on a perilous journey. Raised in isolation by his father in the woods, Gus's sheltered existence is shattered when he encounters a grizzled drifter named Jepperd. Together, they navigate a dangerous landscape filled with hybrid children like Gus, hunted by merciless humans seeking answers to the plague. As Gus learns more about his origins and the world beyond his forest home, he must confront the harsh realities of survival and the complexities of trust and friendship in a world where innocence is a rare commodity.
