Other than that, though...should be fine.

Epic new comic that reads like a classic horror story.

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2017

Sadie is 16 and giving birth during a series of earthquakes in Salt Lake City Utah. The earthquakes stop immediately after her son Clark is born. At the same time, a mysterious group called The Silhouette is attempting to kill Clark believing that he is the Anti-Christ. To reveal any more of the plot would ruin the surprising twists to come.

Babyteeth is the best horror comic I've read this year. I got goosebumps as good or better than when I read the first volume of The Walking Dead or Preacher. It reminds me of the end of the first Terminator movie where the mother is driving to Mexico with the ominous clouds in the rear view mirror. I can't wait to read future volumes as we delve further into Sadie's and Clark's story. The characters are what make this story feel so genuine like it could be happening around the corner. It is highly recommended to anyone who enjoyed The Omen, The Terminator, The Walking Dead, Preacher or almost anything by Stephen King along with anyone who just enjoys a good tale. 5 stars!

Thanks to the publisher, Aftershock Comics, and NetGalley for an advanced review copy.

Teen mother seeking blood for blood thirsty infant

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. What can I say. I LOVED IT! The artwork was amazing (loved the extras at the end of the book). The story line is gripping and pulls you in right from the start. Teen girl, hidden pregnancy, absent baby daddy, sister that is a good person who does bad things type of girl. Throw in a vampiric baby, assassins and two cults with opposing opinions about what to do with the vampiric baby and you have a page turner. Only disappointing thing about this graphic novel was that I wanted more to read. I devoured it in about 20-30 minutes. So can't wait to read the next one!

Very cool comic. I dig the concepts and the art is very interesting. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for other issues.

I received a free digital ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Babyteeth is the story of Sadie, a 16 year old girl who gets pregnant, hides her pregnancy from everyone but her sister and is scared of the
consequences. Sounds simple enough till you factor in that her child is an evil being of untold power known as The Final Son. She promptly proceeds to name him Clark (after Superman). Oh and he also drinks blood.

Excellent plot eh? Yeah, it can immediately hook you into wanting to know more and it definitely did that to me. The story though, is much simpler. There's a demon child and there are forces in the world that want the child dead at any cost. The story is laid down as a narration of events the Sadie is recording for her child. So the events described here have already happened.

Sadie seems like your normal 16 year old college student who got pregnant and is planning on keeping the baby. Her elder sister, Heather, is a badass who is protective of her sister. When Sadie starts getting contractions which lead to earthquakes, Heather is the one driving her to the hospital and starts suspecting that something is off. As the child is born, all earthquakes stop. Sadie's father, a military man, is around to help Sadie with the demon child and is generally accepting of the fact that his 16 year old daughter has given birth. Good on you Mr. Ritter.

The earthquakes are also how the secret organization known as 'The Silhouette' tracks down where the demon child was born. Soon an assassin is tasked to kill the demon child and anyone else involved in the process. Sadie's child also manages to summon a demonic raccoon through a portal somehow while Heather manages to run into a warlock who wants to help. There's a lot of weird stuff going on here!

Given all its good points, where the story manages to falter is in being utterly simplistic. This is not a bad thing in and of itself and I'm it appeals to a different set of people. For me, I just wanted a bit more from the story. I will definitely still want to read the next volume though!

The art is quite good and I really liked the dark, evil theme that's going on through the book. The copy I received had well over 45 pages full of illustrations and covers. The art here is amazing! I went through these pages multiple times just taking it all in.

Overall, I'd say this was a fun graphic novel to read. 3/5

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2018

Sadie Ritter had a baby when she was 16. Her baby was born in 2017. Her contractions coincided with earthquakes. Or maybe they caused earthquakes. Or maybe that’s what she imagined. She thinks she died when she went into labor, but maybe she imagined that too, since she’s not dead. But the baby, well, she’s pretty sure the baby is the anti-Christ, because that’s what she’s been told by an expert. To me, the baby looks like Alfred Hitchcock. But the baby also has sharp retractable teeth and needs to drink blood, so it’s not your normal baby, if such a thing exists.

Some of the story portrays the difficulty that a 16-year-old girl in Salt Lake City has when she’s suddenly coping with being a parent. But the larger story involves the Silhouette, one of those world-ruling conspiratorial groups that are ubiquitous in comics and thrillers. They’re interested in the baby (his name is Clark, yes named after that Clark) because of the whole earthquake thing, so they send one of their ace assassins to kill him. The assassin lives with her ace assassin father in a trailer in the desert, which is one clue to the fact that they aren’t your ordinary assassins. Fortunately, Sadie’s older sister Heather, while not an assassin, is a bit of a psycho and is willing to take on anyone.

The story also involves a demon racoon and a warlock, but the baby and mommy are really center stage. The baby’s daddy is … well, whatever he might have been would be difficult to prove at this point.

Babyteeth features strong characters and some good writing, most of which relates to the relationship between Sadie, her sister, and her father. It’s surprisingly enjoyable, and it left me looking forward to seeing where the story goes. The art suits the story nicely.
