About this eBook

Get a free taste of Chew, the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning, NY Times bestselling comic from Image Comics. Tony Chu is a cop 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. It's a dirty job, and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice. And if that wasn't bad enough, the government has figured out Tony Chu's secret. They have plans for him, whether he likes it or not. Presenting a twisted new series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants, written by John Layman (Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness, House of M: Fantastic Four and Puffed) with mind-blowing art by astonishing comics newcomer Rob Guillory.

Ratings and reviews

Chew is a seriously weird and wacky comic book series that I can't get enough of. John Layman's writing is sharp, witty, and full of dark humor. The art by Rob Guillory is absolutely stunning, with a unique style that perfectly complements the story. If you're looking for something completely different and utterly addictive, Chew is definitely worth checking out.

Sounds like he read warm bodies when the zombies eat the brain they get the memories. Same concept. Cool but let's no go around calling it original.

Sounds like one of the Brian Lumley Necroscope novel bad guys who did the same thing but more disgusting. I think i'll go read lumley's series again
