Chew has a pretty simple premise. Tony Chu is a cibopathic, which means that he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats, except beets. That’s right…beets. So, when Tony eats an apple he can tell all kinds of things about which orchard and pesticides were used. When he eats flesh he can gain insight into the…um, meal at hand. So when Tony eats some soup and realizes that the cook is a serial killer adding his victims to the stock, the strange adventure begins. Set in the backdrop of America, where chicken is banned due to a flu that killed millions, the FDA is now the most powerful government agency. While shutting down the chicken black market, the FDA enlists Tony in a number of cases. Oh, and he eats a dude’s face to get information.

So, if you’ve never read Chew then this is your week. The first trade paperback of Chew, Tasters Choice, which covers issues #1-5 is out this week alongside issue #6. I love this comic so much that I’m offering a money back guarantee on the trade paperback. Sink your teeth into something new and innovative and give Chew a taste. You won’t regret it.
