Set in a post avian flu-out-broken America, "CHEW" follows two interesting members of the FDA, (Food and Drug Administration) who are now the leading detective agency in the US, as they solve food related mysteries. This graphic novel is absurd, disgusting, intriguing and actually quite complicated. It is also a fast and immediately rewarding read, what more could you possibly want.
The book will appeal to fans of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, Bone by Jeff Smith, and Hellboy by Michael Mignola.
