This graphic novel is certainly out of the ordinary. Tony Chu is one of the few cibopaths of the world -- he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats -- and his work as a detective often gets him into sticky, not-so-tasty situations. When he's employed by the Special Crimes Division of the FDA, his world only gets more and more complicated, and dangerous. If you can't trust your brother, but want to save his life, or your partner, who ends up saving yours, what's a guy to do? If you're Tony, you take a bite out of a vacuum-packed dead dog and try to solve the case!
There's much more to follow this first volume of CHEW, and likely each situation is going to be more disgusting than the next. Recommended to comic book readers with a taste (-ahem-) for the unusual.
