Gus (can I call him Sweet Tooth?), Jeppard, and company set out for Alaska in search of answers about Gus's past and the disease that wiped out the majority of the world's population. Along the way, Lucy and Becky see their first snow, Gus begins to understand Jeppard's past, and the gang meets up with Walter, an eccentric living in a fortified paradise under a waterfall. Lemire's art is at its melancholy best in this volume, and guest artists Nate Powell, Emi Lenox, and Matt Kindt only add to the fun. If you're not reading Sweet Tooth yet, start NOW. If you're already an addict, this volume answers many of the questions set forth in volume three and blends in plenty of foreshadowing paired with the who's-really-the-bad-guy elements that Lemire has admirably employed throughout the series. Sweet Tooth is the perfect gateway comic - give it to anyone who is foolish enough to think comics aren't serious lit. Grade 8+

Tony Chu is a detective with a singular talent. He's cibopathic: he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. As you can imagine, once word gets out, the powers that be (in this case, the US government) want to utilize Tony's talent to their advantage, whether he is feeling peckish or not. What results is a thoroughly entertaining, well-drawn, and unique series set in a not-so-distant future where poultry is illegal and the black market is all about meat. A "gastronomical-satirical crime thiller" not to be missed. Goes nicely with a 1986 Margaux. Grade 9+

The perfect remedy for those of you pining for the next issue of The Walking Dead (and no, I don't want to buy the single issues, I want NUMBER 14!). Although I wouldn't call it " a slice of fried gold ," I would describe it a satisfying escape into a future world post-virus, with colonies of lepers, an infected doctor who holds the possible key to a cure, and a cross-country road trip to figure out what happened to the control center in Virginia. Sound familiar? That's because it is. Give this to fans of TWD to hold them over. Grade 9+
