I mean it’s cute but it’s not the first

Return to the world of Sweet Tooth when a familiar little boy with horns finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens to overturn everything he and his family have ever known。Did Jeff Lemire need to come back to Sweet Tooth？ No， probably not。 But this story doesnt' tarnish anything that came before it。 Sweet Tooth: The Return doesn't revisit the characters from the original， but it pays homage to their legacy， as well as to the stupidity of humanity， so it's on track with the previ Return to the world of Sweet Tooth when a familiar little boy with horns finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens to overturn everything he and his family have ever known。Did Jeff Lemire need to come back to Sweet Tooth？ No， probably not。 But this story doesnt' tarnish anything that came before it。 Sweet Tooth: The Return doesn't revisit the characters from the original， but it pays homage to their legacy， as well as to the stupidity of humanity， so it's on track with the previous series right away。The mystery that unfolds over these six issues feels alarmingly familiar， without simply hitting the same story beats as the original series。 The main character looks like Gus， and there are glimpses of Jeppard around the periphery， but for the most part you could almost read The Return without any of the context of the original at all。 You'd lose some of the impact， but it definitely does stand on its own surprisingly well。Lemire's artwork won't be for everyone; he has a spindly， ethereal style somewhere between professional comic artist and child drawing with crayons that I think has a really unique charm， and it especially works well for the world of Sweet Tooth which is almost always seen through the eyes of a child。 It's nice to see that neither he nor colourist José Villarubia have lost any of that spark since the first series。Sweet Tooth: The Return is a love letter to the original， with some new stories to tell that stay true to the original without simply retreading old ground。 It's not a necessary story， but it's a welcome one， and I'm glad of that。 。。。more

The return didnt really add anything to original story and as a small off shoot is pretty good。

probably good to know that this is a re-imagining of sorts。。。 not sequel， not prequel。。。

Didn't love it， like the original series。 Didn't hate it， either。 Interesting story， interesting ideas surrounding the mythos， good ending。 Hated the religious aspect， although I freely admit it needed it。 Just tired of that particular stereotype。 Very 'meh' and run of the mill。 Could've been better， on the whole， but it could've been a ton load worse， too。 With the original series having such a high bar， there's no way this could've reached it， realistically。 Certainly didn't ruin it， like some Didn't love it， like the original series。 Didn't hate it， either。 Interesting story， interesting ideas surrounding the mythos， good ending。 Hated the religious aspect， although I freely admit it needed it。 Just tired of that particular stereotype。 Very 'meh' and run of the mill。 Could've been better， on the whole， but it could've been a ton load worse， too。 With the original series having such a high bar， there's no way this could've reached it， realistically。 Certainly didn't ruin it， like some reviewers are saying。 。。。more

Jsem velkej fanoušek původního Sweet Tootha， o to víc mě následující řádky budou bolet。 Sweet Tooth: The Return je odpad。 Už od oznámení jsem byl skeptický， protože Sweet Tooth je krásně uzavřený a nebyla potřeba cokoliv víc， kór po těch letech přidávat。 Ne， Lumík to udělal a přinesl to nejhorší co kdy napsal， protože tohle je tak strašně nudný a o ničem až mi to hlava nebere。 Člověk by si i řekl ok， dostanu nějaký fanservis a po letech uvidím své oblíbené postavy。 Nope， ani fanservis ani oblíbe Jsem velkej fanoušek původního Sweet Tootha， o to víc mě následující řádky budou bolet。 Sweet Tooth: The Return je odpad。 Už od oznámení jsem byl skeptický， protože Sweet Tooth je krásně uzavřený a nebyla potřeba cokoliv víc， kór po těch letech přidávat。 Ne， Lumík to udělal a přinesl to nejhorší co kdy napsal， protože tohle je tak strašně nudný a o ničem až mi to hlava nebere。 Člověk by si i řekl ok， dostanu nějaký fanservis a po letech uvidím své oblíbené postavy。 Nope， ani fanservis ani oblíbené postavy tu （víceméně） nejsou。 V celý knize fungují jen dvě jediné věci， barvy který jsou super a postava Sloního Muže která mě bavila。Říkám si， jak tohle vzniklo？ Měl Lemire pocit méněcennosti a potřeboval se po několika letech do tohohle světa vrátit a něco ještě odvyprávět？ Přišlo za Jeffem DC a dalo mu úkol prostě něco se Sweet Toothem udělat？ Nebo jak Jeff tak DC mělo v očích dolary protože seriál？ Těžko říct， ale jde jen o totální cashgrab a jediný co tímhle Lumča dokázal je， že pošramotil odkaz původní série。 Ps。 jsou tam ženské bradavky， doufám， že je Jim Lee zatmaví！ 。。。more

Really well spun based on the original mythology。 Could have been longer and definitely relies heavily on background knowledge of the original。 Clever。

Like the old bad sequel to a good movie 。。。 some original ideas 。。。 poor execution。

Disappointing。 Love some of the story beats and the misguided religious fanaticism of the antagonist （thoroughly convinced， ultimately well meaning， absolutely evil to the core） but this needed more room to breathe than its six issues to earn the payoff I think it’s striving for。

‘Sweet Tooth’ is one of my favourite comics ever and Jeff Lemire is one of my favourite creators。 This return to the series though feels completely forced， unnecessary and lacking in the aspects that make Lemire‘s work so special。 The art is beautiful as always， but the writing misses his usual spark。 It’s not that ‘Sweet Tooth: The Return’ is bad， just bland。

This was ridiculously disappointing。 I love the original series， but this needs to he quickly forgotten。。。

Leaves it open for more。。。 I preferred the first ones a bit more。 Good if you really liked the first one。

（Zero spoiler review） 1。5/5I think this just about does it。 I think I am officially done with Jeff Lemire。 Sweet Tooth was the first Lemire run I read about a year ago when I first got into comics。 I fell for the first two arcs （12 issues） as the story captured a small fragment of my favourite novel， The Road， although with a light fantastical element as well。 The initial arc of Jeppard drew me into this world， even if Sweet Tooth was a little annoying himself （like a combination of Jar Jar Bink （Zero spoiler review） 1。5/5I think this just about does it。 I think I am officially done with Jeff Lemire。 Sweet Tooth was the first Lemire run I read about a year ago when I first got into comics。 I fell for the first two arcs （12 issues） as the story captured a small fragment of my favourite novel， The Road， although with a light fantastical element as well。 The initial arc of Jeppard drew me into this world， even if Sweet Tooth was a little annoying himself （like a combination of Jar Jar Binks and Bambi。 My interest in the series greatly waned， as Lemire seemed intent on bleeding every last ounce of momentum and money out of the series he could。 By the time it ended， I was glad it was over， which is never the emotion you want in a reader at the end of a long running series。 For mine， the series was done， the story was told， and that's where it should have remained。 And then I saw he had resurrected the series for a limited run （which set alarm bells ringing from the out）。 In hindsight， my concerns were very much well placed。 Sweet Tooth: The Return is a lazy， lacklustre and shameless cash grab。 I can see no other reason why this series exists， other than Lemire thought he could spin this into a few quick bucks。 Sometimes artists might have a little bit of the old magic left over。 A little bit of the story that， for whatever reason， they didn't get to tell the first time around， and feel the need to put it out there for the fans （and likely their wallets as well）。 I can safely say， this is not the case here with Sweet Tooth。 This is a story that absolutely didn't need to be told， nor is it in anyway an organic and interesting new tale from the Sweet Tooth world。 This is bland， uninspired and monumentally unwanted。 And it is again， drawn by Jeff， which means it looks almost as bad as it reads。I have always felt that Lemire's ambition outweighed his ability。 That his ideas were always better than his execution。 Maybe I was wrong， however， as this is about a million miles from a good idea， and the execution is even worse。 It's non sensical， contrived and contains barely enough story to scrape a six issue arc together。 There wasn't a single character I gave a shit about。 The elephant boy had potential， although as with Lemire， he is nothing more than a one dimensional sympathy magnet。 Nothing else of substance or style going on。 I take no pleasure in saying this。 I really wanted to enjoy this， as with all books I invest my time in。 But this is just bad。 Whatever remaining positive memories I had of this series have been washed away in a putrid tide of malaise and utter indifference。 Congratulations on shitting all over one of your better properties， Jeff。 I hope the pay check was worth it。 Avoid。 1。5/5OmniBen。 。。。more

I cannot believe that Lemire would resurrect this series to give us something so incredibly lackluster。 And he ended the original series on such a perfect note。。。
