I had my eye on Plutona from its very first issue, but after skimming through the intro in issue 1, I decided to wait until the trade paperback came out so I could read it all at once. MAN, what a wait that was!!!! But finally the trade did indeed come out and it was quite worth it!
The story of a group of troubled highschoolers (middle -schoolers?) who come across the seemingly dead body of their town's resident super-heroine Plutona changes their lives and creates a divide between the friends in a way they can never come back from!
As shown in Sweet Tooth, Jeff Lemire certainly knows how to write from the mind of youngsterws, and with Emi Lenox's wonderful storybook art, create a very surreal fantasy story.
After hearing how much I loved his earlier recommendation for Manifest Destiny, my friend Gerg suggested I might like Sweet Tooth, the story of a young boy born with deer antlers on the verge of Apocalypse. It was an okay series, good to spend a week reading.
