Sweet Tooth

[skepticus]

I don't know how many of our members read comics, but there is a new series from Vertigo that is very doomerish.  It's called Sweet Tooth, and the main character is a boy born after some sort of epidemic (it hasn't been defined yet and is only referred to as "the accident") has wiped out most of humanity.  All the children born after "the accident" are immune to the disease, but they have animal-like mutations.  Gus, the main character, has deer antlers for instance.  The series is on issue #3, and the post-apocalyptic world portrayed in it is pretty close to what I imagine life after a fast-crash would be (well, sans the kids with antlers).  I just read #3 last night, and there was a pretty disturbing image of a pile of disease-victims' corpses in the middle of a ghost town.  Doomy stuff.

Anyway, here's the link to Sweet Tooth page on Vertigo's site:  http://www.dccomics.com/vertigo/comics/?cm=12959.
