At the Baltimore Comic Con, I ran into a new book for me called Chew. "Tony Chu is a detective with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. He's been brought on by the Special Crimes Division of the FDA, the most powerful law enforcement agency on the planet, to investigate their strangest, sickest, and most bizarre cases." Absolutely hilarious series with fantastic art. This. It's a great series. I love Tarantino films, and I am seriously considering framing issue #13 "Pullet Fiction" or it's variant "Reservoir Chogs". Tony Chu. Is. The man. I love that the entire universe rotates around food as an institution: FBI->FDA/CIA->USDA, all the characters are named after food and eating, a company resembling Monsanto, etc. The art is fantastic and has an incredible flow with the dialog. The series had me at "chicken speakeasy."
