The final 2/3 of the Sweet Tooth series by Jeff Lemire, which started off gloomy but promising: a dark, post-apocalyptic story about a disease that wiped out most of the population, leaving few humans behind, along with all new babies born with animal features.

Sometimes, at comic expos I decide that I can wear these deer antlers I have for no reason other than I feel like it.

It really felt tacked on and I wish they left it out. Vol. 2. collects Old Man Logan #5-8 and Uncanny X-Men #205. Now that Logan realizes that he is in a different time before the fall […]
