This is a story. This is a story about us podcasting about one of the best DC comics ever, and one of the last great Vertigo ongoing series. This is a story about the next entry in our top 25 DC comics countdown! Coming in at #22 on our list... Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire, Jose Villarubia, and more!

This science fiction post-apocalyptic coming of age story about the boy and the big man is one of the most evocative and touching comics DC has ever published. This is a story.

We discussed Sweet Tooth in broad terms back when the first season of the Netflix adaptation came out. See episode 82 of our podcast. We also discussed another Jeff Lemire comic, Joker: Killer Smile, back in episode 51. We also talked a bit about Trillium, a later Lemire/Villarubia joint, in episode 37.

Like we did for our Marvel top 25 list, we applied a set of criteria and scored all the DC books we've read to create our list. Our criteria are as follows:

CRAFT. Is the comic technically sound? Is it well-written? Is it well-illustrated? Did the creators demonstrate mastery of the language and form of comics?

ORIGINALITY. Is the comic creative and imaginative? Does it have something meaningful to say?

IMPACT. What sort of lasting influence did the comic have? Did it leave a mark within the DC universe, on the industry, or on pop culture? Do fans remember it with affection?

WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME. Is the comic something that holds up today, outside of the context of its original publication? Is it something we could read over and over again in the future?

If you have any thoughts, comments, questions, or corrections, we're here. Feel free to hit us up on our socials, or email us! We have a Linktree here: linktr.ee/betweenthegutters

Episode 207: Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire and Jose Villarubia (DC Top 25: #22)

ARTIX! has been on the run since his set at Red Rocks back in 2023. Our agents have a warrant for his slinky chops and tormenting live performances. Next time he steps foot in the states, our agents will be waiting. See for yourself why ARTIX! is wanted by the FBI. 

You are listening to ARTIX! on Dubstep FBI.

LEV3L & SweetTooth - Impending Doom (SAMVRAID BOOTLEG)

In a temple tucked under a banyan tree,
Lives a jolly ol’ god who’s as sweet as can be.
With a trunk so long and ears spread wide,
It’s Ganesha, with a sweet tooth he can’t hide.

He munches on modaks, each a tasty treat,
Stuffed with jaggery and coconut—oh, so sweet!
Laddus round as the moon in a monsoon June,
He hums a little tune under the silver spoon.

“Oh dear, oh dear,” says he with a grin,
“I can’t stop eating, where do I begin?”
His belly’s quite round, his joy quite infectious,
For sweets make him boundlessly zealous.

From village to village, they know his taste,
Prepare the sweets, no time to waste.
For when Ganesha comes to bless the feast,
He looks for sweets, to say the least.

So if you hear a giggle by the sweets plate,
It’s just Ganesha, don’t make him wait.
Offer him a sweet, make it two, make it three,
And in return, good fortune there’ll be!

Majistrate - What's The ID? Dubpack

FBI agents have detained a canine of no known breed — unruly, unregistered & uncontrollably aggressive. Originally apprehended in San Diego after an anonymous tip, Mongrel has since slipped through our grasp, leaving a chaotic trail of IDs and doubles in his wake. Witnesses describe the same suspect: Foaming at the mouth, basslines that bite & a complete disregard for genre obedience.
