The Walking Dead comic is een must buy omdat deze gewoon simpel weg briljant en keihard is. Maar er zijn meer onbekende comics die een vermelding nodig hebben, omdat deze verdomd goed zijn. Daarom heeft de website Gamma Squad deze lijst gemaakt, en daar staat ook Chew op. Over deze comic heeft crewlid ShamRock twee jaar geleden al dit artikel geschreven, en deze zal over een tijdje als TV show verschijnen. Die hopelijk niet zo zuigt als The Walking Dead.

Chew - Tony Chu is a detective who gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. What this means in practice is the guy has to eat a lot of disgusting s-t to solve most his cases, including a lot more human flesh than he probably anticipated consuming when he joined the force. This is the kind of high concept that could go horribly, horribly wrong in the hands of a writer not firing on all cylinders, but thankfully Chew writer John Layman has been consistently on his game throughout the series.

Chew does a great job of balancing it's quirky and gruesome sides, rarely becoming too cutesy or sickening. It's also pretty damn funny - I've laughed out loud at many an issue, which is something comic books almost never do for me. Basically Chew feels like a great HBO/Showtime/AMC series that somehow took a wrong turn and ended up in comic book form. Unsurprisingly it's going to be made into Showtime TV series, so get on board now so you can say you were reading Chew before it blew up.
