The FDA are considered elite government agents who enforce the law and put a stop to any food-related crimes. This has led to a black market for food and illegal ‘chicken speakeasies’ being common around the country. Chew: Volume 1: Taster’s Choice introduces the character’s world and it’s one of the most original, entertaining stories I’ve ever read.Ĭhew is set in modern day America where an outbreak of Bird Flu has led to a ban on chicken and other products. His power puts him a variety of messed up situations that involve cannibalism, gun fights and murder all in an effort to uphold the law. The series follows Tony Chu, a Food and Drugs Administration agent who solves crimes by getting psychic visions from the food he eats. It’s why I’m kicking myself for only recently discovering the Chew series created by John Layman. Food and comics are two of my biggest interests, so I’m always looking for an excuse to combine the two together.
