PREVIEW- CHEW #27 (yeah, it's from the fuuuutuuuure!)

 Because a comic about a world where the federal government has banned the consumption of poultry (ostensibly as the result of the bird flu epidemic, but there remain serious doubts about that), that stars federal agent Tony Chu (who psychicly  senses the entire history of anything he eats) isn't quite weird enough, CHEW creators John Layman and Rob Guillory have fast-forward their award-winning comic to issue 27. Incidentally, it also stars Agent Chu's twin sister Toni...

Here's the Sales Pitch:
“Space Cakes,” Part Two

Delivered from the future! We jump ahead and show you exactly where Tony Chu is nine issues and two story arcs from now. Yes, CHEW presents its version of “One Year Later.” A brilliant jumping on-point, or a pathetic cry for attention? You decide!

Also: Those frickin’ chogs return!

I'm sorry, what?!? Looks awesome! I am happily tradewaiting with this series, which just released its third volume Chew: Just Desserts last December (you can read my review here).This issue will be in stores Ninjasday May 11. If you've never read CHEW, you need to cop the CHEW Omnivore Edition Volume 1 HC first, trust me!

holla!

in stores now- CHEW #17

 If you've been reading CHEW, you'll recognize several storylines coming together in this cover. If not, read this prologue anyways... it's dope, and relatively spoiler-free!

If you haven't been reading CHEW, the story of a federal agent who can sense the entire history of anything he eats, then you'll wanna buy the first trade, Taster's Choice to see what all the fuss is about.

holla!

quick (p)review- "CHEW Volume 3: Just Desserts"

I recently put copies of GhettoManga Quarterly in my local comic shop, which allowed me to buy a few things... like Just Desserts, the third volume of the hot Image series CHEW. If you have read the first two volumes of CHEW (or issues 1-15 of the monthly comics) and liked them, then you need not read any further: BUY THIS BOOK NOW! Just Desserts is continuation of the fresh characters and storytelling that you are used to from the award-winning team of John Layman and Rob Guillory.
For the new people, CHEW is the story of Tony Chu, the non-stereotypical Asian-American federal agent with the rare (and stomach-churning) gift of cibopathy. He gets psychic impressions from anything he eats, and uses this power to solve cases that reach dead ends.
here's a quick preview

You will appreciate the character development and plot twists in this book much better if you go back and read Chew Volume 1: Taster's Choice and Chew Volume 2: International Flavor first. Click here to start with book one, or if Amazon offers a good enough deal, go ahead and cop all three! Chances are, you won't be disappointed!

holla!

Preview: CHEW #14

Greetings... Here's some preview pages to CHEW #14 which will be in stores tomorrow. Since I buy and read CHEW religiously in trade form, I look at these previews similar to watching movie trailers. CHEW is definitely a beg-borrow-steal item... something you must have by any means (or in whatever format) you can get it. If you've never read CHEW before, I recommend that you click here to read my observations and peep previews of00 earlier issues, rather than read the preview below. But hey, it's your call!

Yeah, so if you're a fan of the series, the plot thickens, right? If you're reading the single issues, CHEW #14 hits stores tomorrow, September 29th.

holla!
