A cross between Bambi and Cormac McCarthy's The Road, SWEET TOOTH tells the story of Gus, one of a rare new breed of human/animal hybrid children, who has been raised in isolation following an inexplicable pandemic that struck a decade earlier. Gus quickly learns that the path to freedom may be deadlier than captivity. But can he do what it takes to keep the hybrids safe? In the Animal Armies finale, the war between the cult army and the militia erupts as Jepperd finally encounters Abbot in his insane attempt to rescue Gus. Not everyone's making it out of this one, and those who do survive will never be the same. Collects issues #14-27
