A preview of Image’s latest crime comic, Chew, will debut in the pages of Walking Dead this May. Find out more after the jump.
John Layman and Rob Guillory’s highly anticipated June-shipping ongoing crime series with a sick yet tasteful twist, CHEW, will make its first full appearance in the comic book blockbuster,THE WALKING DEAD, this May.
“Having CHEW debut in WALKING DEAD is extremely appropriate considering I hope CHEW does for cannibalism what WALKING DEAD did for zombies,” Layman said. “Seriously, Rob and I are very flattered to have CHEW debut in one of the biggest books out there today. While very different in its approach, I think fans of Kirkman and Adlard’s ongoing saga of human survival despite the worst possible situations will love Detective Tony Chu’s ongoing saga of surviving the worst possible situations despite his very distinct and sometimes burdening ability. It’s going to be a weird, wild ride.”
CHEW’s star, Detective Tony Chu, is a cop with a secret. As a Cibopathic, Detective Chu gets a psychic impression from whatever he eats. While it means he’s a hell of a Detective if he can stomach the evidence, once his secret gets out the government makes plans for him, whether he likes it or not. CHEW blends horror, mystery and the strangest ability of them all in an ongoing series of horrific crimes solved in the most horrific way possible. The preview in THE WALKING DEAD will give fans their very first glimpse into CHEW’s dark underworld and the lone man with a literal taste to bring the criminal empire down.
THE WALKING DEAD writer Robert Kirkman added, “John Layman’s an excellent writer who has done fantastic work for Marvel and DC, but I’m even more excited he’s bringing his creator-owned series to Image. CHEW is an extremely original concept that’s ideal for what Image looks for. I couldn’t be be happier to debut the series in THE WALKING DEAD and look forward to reading the series.”
THE WALKING DEAD #61 (MAR092467), a 32-page black & white comic book featuring the preview of CHEW #1 for $2.99, will be in-stories May 13th, 2009. CHEW #1 (APR090337), a 32-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in-stores June 3rd, 2009.

story JOHN LAYMAN, art & cover ROB GUILLORY
32 PAGES, FC, $2.99
Tony Chu is a cop 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. It's a dirty job, and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice. And if that wasn't bad enough, the government has figured out Tony Chu's secret. They have plans for him... whether he likes it or not.
Presenting a twisted new series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants, written by JOHN LAYMAN (Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness, House of M: Fantastic Four and PUFFED) with mind-blowing art by astonishing comics newcomer ROB GUILLORY.
RETAILER WARNING: MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES
hah, i heard about that. Reminds me of Gentleman Corpse for some reason? Holding out for the inevitable trade.
Anyone else snag DC's Wednesday Comics today? It's a little pricey at $4 but there's nothing else like it out there. I can do this for the next 12 weeks.
For those who missed it- It's a newspaper-sized experiment with each strip taking up one full page. It's like a giant-sized art and character sampler. Gorgeous and a lot of fun to read.

Dark Horse was doing that a few years ago, it was just a four page though. It's smart!
I bought it mainly for the fact that it can't/won't be collected in it's original format when it gets rereleased.Quote:
