Collects Chew #11-15! Things are looking up for Tony Chu, the cibopathic federal agent with the ability to get psychic impressions from the things he eats. He's got a girlfriend. He's got a partner he trusts. He even seems to be getting along with his jerk boss. But his ruthless ex-partner is still out there, operating outside of the law, intending to make good on his threats against Tony and everybody Tony cares about. It's just a matter of time before their investigations collide, blood spills and-inevitably-body parts are eaten. Presenting the third storyline of CHEW, the follow-up to the New York Times Best Sellers 'Taster's Choice' and 'International Flavor.' Check out the strange and darkly comic series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants. Winner of the Eisner Award for Best New Series and nominated for Eagle and Harvey awards to boot!

WrensReads Review:

These are a little repetitive. And I’m kind of getting bored with it.

We got a little background for Chu though.

And [surprise surprise] something else taste like chicken and blah blah blah.

Taking a break from this series.

Collects Chew #6-10! Tony Chu, the cibopathic federal agent with the ability to get psychic impressions from the things he eats, is on a bizarre new case. A newly discovered fruit takes Agent Chu to a remote island full of secrets, strangeness-and a shadowy killer with a particularly sinister appetite. Presenting the second storyline of IGN.com's pick for Best Indie Series of 2009 and MTV Splash Page.com's pick for Best New Series of 2009. Find out what the fuss is about in this latest a twisted and darkly funny comic about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants.

WrensReads Review:

This one was a little different. It’s centered around a new fruit that only grows on this one island and the fruit taste like chicken. Since chicken is outlawed, this fruit could be the next big thing.

And there’s a whole like underlining plot that’s happening and they need to get someone off the island before it’s too late.

Oh, and a vampire? That’s different.

Tony Chu is a detective 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. He's been brought on by the Special Crimes Division of the FDA, the most powerful law enforcement agency on the planet, to investigate their strangest, sickest, and most bizarre cases.

WrensReads Review:

This is like my worst nightmare coming true.

Wren Fact: I have been a vegetarian since I was in second grade. I have a super big heart for animals and, as a human, you can live without eating other living things so I decided to do just that at a very young age.

So I went into this book… very cautiously.

I mean, can you imagine if you ate something and you knew where it had been? You knew how the cow was killed and how it was grinded up. You know what chemicals were put into that apple to make it as juicy and red as it is.

Like that’s absolutely horrifying.

But you can also see how that is super helpful if you are in the police-force. You know, eat a bit of the murdered person and find out who murdered them (barfs).

..and the other strange bit is that all meat is outlawed? Because of the bird flu? I’m not sure. I thought the art was mediocre, but I think that was the whole plan. The story seems to be kicking off though. Once the government found out about what our main dude can do, they grabbed him and his life forever changed since then.

I’m interested in how this is going to continue, but I am not going to binge these because I don’t think my stomach could handle it.
