Babyteeth: Year One
Having a baby when you're sixteen can be tough. For Sadie...it'll be HELL! Sadie Ritter is sixteen years old, nine months pregnant, and scared out of her sweet nerdy mind. Having a baby that young is tough, but with the support of her loving family behind her, everything should be okay. Oh yeah—and also her baby is the Antichrist and it's going to break open the barriers between the earthly and demonic planes and unleash eternal suffering to all of humankind. Plus there’s a shady government organization and a Satanic cult both intent on kidnapping Sadie’s baby for their own nefarious purposes. Other than that, though...should be fine. From Donny Cates, the writer of Venom, Thanos, Redneck and the break-out hit God Country comes a pulse-pounding new series with art from THE REVISIONIST’s Garry Brown!

Hands down the sweetest Antichrist story ever told.
As a mom, I can absolutely dig this. You love your kids.
No matter what.
So, giving birth to the actual spawn of Satan is the ultimate test of nature vs nurture, right?
Yes. It's got all the horror and conspiracy and secret societies and assassins and whatnot.
BUT.
It's really about family.
A family that regardless of the fact that they know how weird & flawed they all are, they still have this incredible unconditional love for each other. For example, Sadie's sister, Heather, is a straight-up psychopath.
And yet, you'll come to love the hell out of her because she just takes all the crazy and channels it into being the biggest badass that her little sister could ever need.
The aunt of this little devil baby is scary as fuck.
And the best part? There's an actual DAD that shows up every day and does his job as a father.
Ok, ok. So it's not the baby's father. It's his grandfather, Sadie's father.
Regardless, he's a fine example of how to suck it up, and parent like a boss when everything goes completely fubar in your kid's life.
I don't want to spoil any of the actual story, but this lived up to all the hype.
Highly Recommened!

One night in Salt Lake City, a sixteen year old girl gives birth to the Antichrist. Trying to learn how to raise your baby as a teen is hard enough, but when he can only be sustained off your blood things get much more difficult. Throw in an ancient organization sending assassins to kill your baby and it becomes almost impossible. Lucky for Sadie and her baby she's got a badass big sister and an ex-marine for a father.
The family dynamic and love between the family members is what makes this book. You'll be surprised how quickly you're rooting for the Antichrist to survive. I also loved Sophie's narration of the book. She's recording what has happened in case she doesn't make it to tell her son herself. Highly recommended.
Received a review copy from Aftershock and NetGalley. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.

Love this series so much. Read volume 1 and 2 years ago, still holds up really well.
Babyteeth is a story about Satan being reborn into our world, to bring the end of times, and a 16 year old girl name Sadie is the mother. How far would you go to protect your child? If you were apart of this family, would you do anything to protect that child? Those are the questions presented while everyone else in the world wants to either destroy or protect the child.
Fun, exciting, heartfelt, and a lot of greatness in spews from this comic. I can't wait till the 2nd half is published in this format to re-read again. Probably my favorite Cates story.

I already knew Donny Cates is one of today's better comic writers. Loved his run on Thanos and he made Venom great again. His creator owned work is usually good but with Babyteeth he created a different beast. This is everything I expect from a comic book: a well written story with enough twists and turns that you keep on reading. Characters you actually start to care about and enough action to keep you entertained.

Rating: 4.5/5
Babyteeth is what you get if you cross Rosemary’s Baby with modern social commentary, and you’ll be close to understanding how insane this book actually is. Writer Donny Cates has continued to surprise me with the stories he chooses to write within the indie labels, and this feels similar to Buzzkill and The Ghost Fleet spiritually. This story is self aware to the point it understands the absurdity of the premise, but embraces it with open arms. Cates ensures the characters are connected and have enough depth to engage the reader. The best thing about Cates’s writing is his ability to twist the narrative constantly and there’s never an easy road to explore where his stories will go. The artwork by Garry Brown is incredible to view and you could watch this story unfold without the dialogue. Cates and Brown complement each other and those campy over the top violent panels are perfectly balanced. If you’re unfamiliar with Cates’s writing style, he’s one of those fast paced writers that can grab your attention with comedic touches while providing darker undertones. His dialogue is always sharp and his distinct ability to take readers on a crazy ride where things aren’t conventional or predictable, and that’s why Cates has amassed a cult following. Eager to see how this one ends

(Zero spoiler review)
Another Donny Cates story, another Donny Cates disappointment. And as the old saying goes, three out of three should tell you not to waste your time with this dude again. I'm pretty sure that's what they say, anyway. This all started out so promisingly. The past two stories did too, in fact (Ghostfleet and God Country). But with those, the cracks were already showing by issue two, or three at most. Cates, by that metric, has well and truly knocked it out of the park here. His entire first five issue arc had me reading on, rather interested, actually thinking this might be the story that actually does something for me, and not just make me feel lousy for buying an overpriced hardcover collection by Donny Cates. Sure, it wasn't perfect, the art was hit and miss and the characters motivations at times had me raising an eyebrow, but it was a small, interesting idea, competently told with characters that weren't, at least wholly unappealing. And with dialogue that kept me engaged to boot. All of that changed, come issue six and the start of arc two. The relatively small in scope story I was interested in went and shit the bed, and this quaint narrative felt the need to go all apocalyptic in scale. Every single thing I liked about the first arc disappeared in a huge puff of smoke. The somewhat intimate character study, gone. A small girl coming to terms with a lifechanging problem, gone. A tiny cast that was beginning to grow on me more and more, gone. And what appeared in its place was the most ridiculous, contrived, boring action shlock you could have ever hoped to grace the pages of a comic book. I would love to hear the arguments of anyone who thinks anything other than the book took a massive nose dive after issue four. Every character decision is ridiculous and stretches the bounds of credulity to its limit. The new characters are bland cut outs. The dialogue turns to garbage, and I couldn't finish this arc fast enough so that I didn't have to read any more of it. Leaving me alone to lament my expensive purchase of a book I'd never read again. This is an ongoing series, but I couldn't give a toss what happens from here on out. The little things I enjoyed about this book are gone, never to return. No, it was never perfect. The main character accepts her babies... predicament with barely any difficulty. Without sitting here and rewriting this story for the better, a much more interesting and believable decision would have been to have the mother upset and at her wits end about what she is discovering about her child. Having to reconcile her feelings for it throughout the story as it progresses, but no. Despite being more problematic than an SJW panel at a comic book convention, she just accepts everything about this child with barely a moments pause. And the secret society is as rubbish and contrived as you would expect as well.
Cates is a hack. No, I haven't read his Marvel stuff, despite him being a recent era darling, but we all know what has mostly driven that. This book came with a solid enough rap, and the Goodreads score was decent, but again, people seem content to think mediocrity is genius these days. This is half assed and half baked writing at its most blatant. And like I said, the art was nothing special either. Anyone wanna buy a hardcover collection of this crap? 2/5

**Babyteeth: Year One | 80%** | #1-10, horror, action, fantasy, R, Aftershock, Cates | A 16yo suddenly becomes pregnant and gives birth to the Anti-Christ. Her family offers support while two shadow factions vie for the child’s fate. Story is told via the 16yo recording a message for the baby on her phone in some near-future setting. She frequently fumbles telling the story (claiming she’s no good at it) which results in some cool “spoilers” for readers to look forward to. Baby drinks blood, earthquakes, demon racoon, military assassins, Satanic cults, family relationships. Some stock/mundane/straight characters (e.g. dad, baby’s mom), some cool/mysterious/badass characters (e.g. sister, Dancy, racoon, Coyote). Lots of swearing and dark humor. Art is OK for the most part—a little too scratchy/rushed/undetailed in places (hiding behind a large black panel). Love the neon/80’s bright coloring and a few specific scenes (e.g. Red Realm white sky/red stars). Brisk pace—reads fast. I’m hoping it will continue to explore the world it’s building (e.g. there have been other babies, what is the Red Realm, is there a Heaven/angels, what are all these demonic creatures/powers, etc.) rather than focus too heavily on the less exciting family drama. Aftershock definitely has my attention after this and Animosity.

This was just as good as I anticipated it to be! We are still in the “build up” phase of the comic and so far everything has been done right. I have seen many reviews stating that the ending feels rushed especially for having to wait years for the ending, we will see how the ending fares for someone who is able to binge the series.

Wow. Donny Cates is at the top of his game. Venom and now this... I went into this as a blind buy, and I’m glad I did! If you have any skepticism in reading this... stop. It’s super fun and action packed!
Is it Year Two yet?

Love this series and am eagerly waiting for Year 2.
It’s not often that a series will come out that’s this interesting and fun to read.
Characters are engaging and the plot moves quickly.

Donny Cates has become a big name in recent years with works like God Country, his popular run on Venom and his even more popular run on Thanos. This is the first work of his that I've read and I'd say the hype is real. I knew nothing about this book other than Cates' name and his popularity. I didn't know Aftershock Comics and I've never heard of Babyteeth, so this was as blind of a buy as you can get.
Dude. It. Rocked.
The story is unique and refreshing departure from the capes and tights stories I've been reading as of late. Without giving any spoilers, the premise is that a girl gives birth to the anti-Christ. There. Let you mind run wild and try to guess what Cates will do with it. I purchased the Hardcover Year One version which has the first 10 issues and it was a pretty quick read. It's not exactly an oversized hardcover trim, but its certainly larger than standard TPB size. So clearly I liked the story and I'd say the art grew on me; I don't love it but it works I guess...I started on page 1 really hating it and finished on the last page thinking I don't entirely hate it. I would say the art matches the tone of the narrative. The characters are grounded and setup with unique personalities and ideals. I'd say my favorite character was actually the girl's father, just because of how he handled the news of the baby and all the upcoming challenges the family faced together.
It's a five star read but I've knocked off a star for the art. Looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

Donny Cates has parental issues. After reading this, God Country, and even his latest Venom run make that apparent that he def. has some thoughts on being the child and being the parent in a situation. It's not all black and white, write or wrong, tv or no tv.. The themes he does about the parental relationship always at first seem like it's a "this or that" but then after some time, you and the characters realize that the whole scenario is just chaos and at the best, it's just winging it and failing till you get it right. I really find this touching and I realize I'm just ranting at this point.
Anywho, to hit some tent pole points. The Year One of Babyteeth is such a tight little story that is accompanied by solid art by Garry Brown, great color work by Mark Englert, and some pretty gnarly letters from Taylor Esposito. The whole team really gets across how terrifying a baby crying is on an airplane for sure.
While this is 12 issues deep already (all nicely put together in this oversized hardcover), the story does feel a wee-bit rushed and I know I'm going to miss a couple of characters a lot because it seemed like they had a bunch of potential. Also, I think it could use a bit more world building, but, sometimes that does suck the fun out of something that is fast paced. But I still think it needs a wee bit more with some B-Characters just so we get more attached to them.
If you're a fan of the horror genre that involves demons and such? Def. give this one a shot!

I have very little words for this so I'll keep it brief. This is a wild ride that Donny Cates uses to channel his own devotion to Jason Aaron. There's just so much going on at such a breakneck pace it's hard to not be overwhelmed by everything. But that's the point, when you're the parent of the Anti-Christ things will get overwhelming.
But then again parenting itself is tiring. It can drive you crazy with the amount of time you won't know the answers. But it's better to try and do what you can for them then just come up when it's convenient. The best parents sacrifice what they can for their kids.
What's more the idea of the anti-christ is more of a symbol of how people don't really know about their faith. That's why they tend to be so dangerous. Not because of prophecies but because they're never what people expect. No virgin can give birth to a boy. And if God allowed evil to exist, he's either really bad at planning or he's just as big a butthead as the devil.
Overall this story has something really good going for it and while it's stopping, that doesn't mean the story's over.

This book was a modern horror masterpiece in my opinion. Donny Cates wrote Rosemary’s Baby on very very very strong crack, I mean, there is literally a demonic raccoon that falls off from a void from Hell at some point in the book. Garry Brown’s artwork is incredible and perfectly fits the weird tone of the book. I quite liked the cast of characters too; especially Heather, the protagonist’s (Sadie) sister. She’s just badass, won’t let anything happen to her nephew, which is the antichrist. It’s unpredictable, goes on all places and is very unconventional for a modern comic. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good book!

Page turner!
I read this one because my husband insisted. Not my usual style. The characters were fun, some interactions will make you chuckle. Heather is a little over the top.
This volume leaves me with dozens of questions. Looking forward to reading the rest.

For a comic about the birth of the Antichrist, there’s a lot of depth and pathos and empathy here on all fronts. Plus it’s action-packed through and through. Excited to see where it goes next.

Great drawings, the story was catchy and well told, and the characters well fleshed out. I look forward to read more.

I'm reviewing the whole series:
Parenting is hard. Parenting the Antichrist? That’s a whole new level of yikes. Welcome to Babyteeth, Donny Cates’ wild, emotional, and darkly funny comic series that somehow makes apocalyptic doom feel... weirdly relatable. Above all, it’s about family-just with more cults, portals to hell, and demons.
Sadie Ritter, a 16-year-old single mom, is sweet and totally unprepared for what’s coming. Her baby, Clark, starts doing some very un-baby things, like causing earthquakes or preferring blood to milk. There’s no denying it-her adorable newborn is destined to bring about the end of the world.
Happily, Sadie’s got some backup. Her badass, foul-mouthed sister, Heather, is someone you want on your apocalypse survival team. She’s all heart and heavy weaponry, and honestly, every time she’s on the page, you know something cool is about to happen. She’s fiercely protective of Sadie and Clark (though her idea of “protective” involves shooting first and asking questions never).
Then there’s Sadie’s dad, the guy you’d trust to take down a demonic cult in the middle of the night. Since I mentioned cults, let’s just say Clark has some very enthusiastic fans-some who want to annihilate him, some who want to raise him and join the devil.
Sadie is determined to be the best mom she can be. Which is tricky because of all the above. And yet, she deals with everything with humor, resilience, and just the right amount of “WHAT IS HAPPENING?!”
I liked Donny Cates’ writing - it’s sharp, witty, and packed with emotional gut punches. He makes you laugh at Sadie’s internal monologue about being the world’s youngest apocalyptic mom and a moment later divers some truly heartbreaking moments. The artwork by Garry Brown is atmospheric, and it perfectly captures the chaotic demon-fueled action.
I had a blast reading Babyteeth - it’s hilarious, horrifying, and heartfelt. It shows what it means to fight for your family-even if that family includes the spawn of hell. Fans of supernatural horror, dark comedy, or stories about strong women facing impossible odds - this one is for you.

"It's actually quite good fun" is what I said of the first five issues of this series, so why am I not keen on the idea of re-reading it all so far? Because the second book, issues six through to ten, were so utter pants. Razed is what they should have been, and not just the title to them, with their dodgy story-telling decisions and the ugliest of ugly fight scenes. Still, see the wonder and the wondrously bad, all in this omnibus compendium compilation thingy.
