"You've taken God's oldest killing machine and given it will and desire. Congratulations you've just knocked us to the bottom of the bloody food chain."

I don't care how scientifically inaccurate that is, its still a cool line...

Which really sums up the movie. Stupid science, cool scenes...

Chew written and lettered by John Layman, drawn and colored by Rob Guillory

Tony Chu is a cop with a "gift". He's a cibopath, which means he can psychically read an objects past by eating it. And after he's found gnawing on the face of a dead serial killer he gets recruited by the F.D.A. Of course the F.D.A. is a much more powerful organization, what with poultry being illegal. Seems that several year earlier some kind of bird flu wiped out millions around the world (23 million in the U.S.A.) and so Congress made the sale of poultry illegal...

So Tony is partnered with Mason Savoy one of only two other known cibopaths (the last being a mysterious Russian). Together they'll travel into the dark underbelly of illegal foods and the criminals that lurk there...

Layman and Guillory have managed to create a new twist on the police procedural genre. And Guillory's loose and fluid art perfectly balances the bizarre humor and ugly macabre nature of it all...
