review:
'Babyteeth, Vol. 1: Born' by Donny Cates with art by Garry Brown is a graphic novel about an unusual teenage pregnancy. Very unusual.

Sadie Ritter is pregnant with the antichrist. She narrates the story from sometime in the future, and refers to killers and a demonic raccoon, but those details aren't as weird as giving birth to the child who will end the world. The child develops weird feeding habits which could threaten Sadie's life. Fortunately, Sadie has the support of her oddly dysfunctional family to help her through things.

It's a strange subject for a story, and it's been done before, but maybe not as sensationally. The art is interesting, but a bit unfinished looking for my tastes. I will read the second volume to see where the story goes from here.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
