Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice

Ermahgawd this was so good!

Twisted, surprising, grotesque, hilarious and sweet (yes, sweet). LOVED IT! Tony Chu is my favorite new cop even though his method of investigation rolls my stomach. The art is fantastic, but the story steals the show.

After 116 million people worldwide died of what the government deemed avian flu all chicken became illegal. Tony and his partner John Colby are on a stakeout trying to get evidence of a Poultry Speakeasy and it's proprietor who is responsible for 5 murders. Right after they see the break they needed they're approached by a giant named Savoy who works for the FDA and what happens afterwards changes Tony's life forever.

Cases that are all unconnected seem to be piecing together to all be related, or at least close to it. Everything has to do with the chickens and it all goes back to whether the avian flu was a real thing or a government conspiracy. Tony's less concerned with what the government is up to and more with following the rules. We'll see how long that lasts.
