The series began as something that I thought would be light reading; the plot is ridiculous, after all. the US lost 23 million in the avian flu epidemic, and the world 113 million more. Chicken and all other poultry has been outlawed, and the FDA quickly became the most powerful organization in the world. Fringe groups believe the government manufactured the threat of avian flu, and underground chicken pushers are thriving. Our hero is Tony Chu, a cibopath, which means he has the ability to get psychic impressions from the food that eats. Naturally this leads to him eating people, and more disturbing things still, in order to help solve crimes. Ridiculous, right? As the series progresses we meet even more ridiculous people with troubling powers. In this volume, for instance, we see a photographer who has the ability to create strong sexual responses in people from the pictures he takes of food. This leads to the publication of the perverted magazine... Food Luv. For all of the series ridiculousness, though, there is a lot of character development and downright touching moments. Tony's relationship with his estranged daughter, and his daughter's relationship with Amelia (Tony's girlfriend) are incredibly touching and natural in the way they evolve. Just the way the various characters handle grief and react to one another - the sacrifices they make and the loyalty they show - are fantastic. This is an oddly human, and evocative series in the midst of all the absurdity. I'm so glad I decided to pick up this comic, and I'm sad I'm getting closer and closer to the end. There are so many mysteries I'm looking forward to seeing solve, but man, I've fallen in love with these characters and this crazy universe. I'm happy there's still more to read. My blog post about this book is at this link. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Anthony and Antonelle Chu are fraternal twins. Tony and Toni. Each with their own extraordinary, albeit diametrically opposed, ability. Tony is Cibopathic, able to get psychic sensations of the past of anything he bites into and ingests. Toni is Cibovoyant, able to flash onto a vision of the future of any living thing she bit into or ingested. Tony is alive. Toni is dead. Toni has been murdered. Tony has vowed to catch her killer. Toni is going to help."--Page 4 of cover. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

That said, this is still one of the most enjoyable series out there. The art, while cartoonish, is enjoyable and detailed and pays you back for your attention. And the writing? Just brilliant.
If you're considering reading this series, this is absolutely not the place to start. But you really should go back to Chew Volume 1 and do so. Quickly. ( )
