7. Chew

So I literally just finished the final issue of Chew, and it’s the one that made me want to write this list.

Chew is a master work of comic booking that is solidly and overwhelmingly brilliant. It’s just so darn good. The premise: Tony Chu is a Cibopath. Whatever food he eats gives him a psychic impression, allowing him to read history through eating.

Alongside his cyborg partner, John Colby, Tony hunts down super- powered food criminals the only way he can: By eating a bunch of weird s**t. There’s A LOT more to the book than that, but I figure it’s best for you to discover that on your own.

But yeah, from giant space writing to baseball books to murder chickens, Chew is a thrill ride like no other. Oh, yeah, I said murder chickens. A cybernetic, bad ass, occasionally demonic murder chicken. Also known as Poyo, the greatest comic book character, maybe ever.

John Layman and Rob Guillory nail the heck out of this one.
