Chew [Image comics]

je trouve le concept de cette nouvelle série assez original (ça sort au mois de juin)

Citation :

"Chew" focuses on the stomach-turning adventures of Tony Chu, a federal agent who uses his powers as a Cibopath – one who gets psychic impressions from what he eats (i.e. murder victims) – to solve crimes in a possible future where massive Avian Flu deaths have made the Food and Drug Administration a more powerful government agency than the Department of Homeland Security.

Fun !

Fallait y penser!

Klur,bien que j'imagine que ça doit pas etre facile tout les jours avec une capacitée pareil.

CHEW #2

Written by John Layman, art and cover by Rob Guillory.

It's Tony Chu's first day on the job as a federal agent for the FDA, the most powerful law-enforcement agency on the planet. He's got a new partner who thinks he knows everything, a boss who hates his guts for no good reason, and his first order of business is to eat a decomposing finger found in a fast food cheeseburger. By the end of the day, Tony will ingest rancid sushi, face Yakuza assassins and meet the girl of his dreams. It's all in a day's work for Tony Chu, in the latest chapter of Chew, a deliciously unsettling new comic about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibal and clairvoyants.

CHEW #3

Amelia Mintz is a food critic and a Saboscrivner. That means she can write about food so accurately, so vividly and with such precision, people get the actual sensation of taste when reading her restaurant reviews. Since the government prohibition of poultry, she's lost her enthusiasm for the culinary world, and only reviews restaurants with a "D" rating or less from the Health Department. Her last review caused half the city to projectile vomit, and sent hundreds to the hospital with severe food poisoning. Agent Tony Chu has been assigned to arrest Amelia Mintz, but there's just one problem with that... he's madly in love with her!

Presenting the weirdest comic you will read all month, and maybe the best, as the deliciously twisted new series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants continues!

j'ai eu toutes les peines du monde à récupérer le n°1 aujourd'hui vu que très peu de boutiques l'ont commandé hors abonné, ça a l'air pas mal, je glisse du coup la preview

CHEW #4

Written by John Layman, art and cover by Rob Guillory.

A senator with bloodstream full of drugs and a belly full of chicken is stone dead in the morgue, and the trail leads back all the way the Arctic, to a joint U.S./Russian space observatory that has been singularly focused on a single, distant, Earth-like planet. Tony Chu and his partner are about to discover whatever secret this planet holds does not compare to those being kept by the astronomers.

Le 1er numéro sera réédité en flipbook et en noir et blanc sur le prochain numéro de walking dead (63)

D'ailleurs j'ai lu qu'on comparaît le début de cette série à celui de Walking Dead justement, Image tient peut-être là son nouveau hit!

vu comment je galère pour le trouver, j'imagine, j'attends de voir les ventes du mois de juin et de juillet pour connaitre la progression car elle est comparée à celle de walking dead à ses débuts et quant on voit où en sont les ventes aujourd'hui c'est une comparaison flatteuse et de bonne augure pour la suite

CHEW #5

Written by John Layman, art and cover by Rob Guillory.

"Taster's Choice," conclusion. FDA Agent Tony Chu just landed the biggest bust of his career, but while the bullets were flying and the bodies were falling, Tony's partner Mason Savoy took a slug. Now, Tony's on his own, and he just ate something that's revealed the identity of a dangerous enemy -- the absolute last person Tony should be facing without backup. The stunningly violent conclusion to first story arc of the surprise hit of the season -- and just maybe the very best comic you will read all month about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants!

CHEW #7

Written by John Layman, art and cover by Rob Guillory.

"International Flavor," part 2. Meet Lin Sae Woo. She's a covert operative for the United States Department of Agriculture, and one its most lethal assassins. She has the equivalent of black belts in four different disciplines of martial arts hand-to-hand combat and is equally deadly with swords, throwing knifes, sniper rifles and handguns. She'll make a corpse out of anybody who tries to stand between her and completion of her current assignment... and that includes that nosy F.D.A. agent with the creepy cibopath power, Tony Chu!

Okay,j'étais carrément sceptique au début car habituer à la sur-enchère américaine des pitchs
mais après avoir l'avoir lu,j'affirme que c'est du tout bon et bien décaler comme j'aime.
vivement la version Française,ça s'annonce comme le choix des gastronomes.

CHEW #8

Written by John Layman, art and cover by Rob Guillory.

International Flavor: Part Three. Introducing Poyo! In the cockfighting ring, Poyo is almost impossible to defeat. This makes Poyo's owners very, very rich. It also has a habit of making Poyo's owners very, very dead. Guess who gets assigned to track down Poyo, and the murderers who have stolen him?
