How Netflix’s Sweet Tooth Characters Compare to the DC Comic

The character of Tommy Jepperd follows in a long line of characters, including The Mandalorian and The Hound, who become reluctant friends and protectors of younger characters during a long road trip.

Nonso Anozie plays Jepperd wonderfully (and at 6'6' he certainly captures the "Big" part of "Big Man"), but he's a bit of a shift from the depiction in the comics. The TV version of the character is an NFL star while Jepperd of the comics played hockey. Also, you can see that Jepperd in the comics was a white man, and Anozie is Black (in an interview included in the back of the third deluxe compilation of the Sweet Tooth comics, Lemire said that he imagined Liam Neeson playing Jepperd in a movie).
