5.0

I loved this book. It is dark and goofy and smart. I just love the pictures and the character's speech patterns come through so clearly in the writing. The world is fleshed out and interesting. I rushed to my local comic-book store to grab book 2.
I will say, without spoiling anything, it did not age well during the pandemic, so go into it with that mindset.

If you're really worried about reading something nasty in this series, it is in there. The premise revolves around cannibalism, and it goes down-hill from there. If that's not your thing, skip it.

4.0

I'm giving this 4 stars for those who may like this type of graphic novel/comic; but 3 stars for myself because it was fine, but not my type of reading material.  If you don't mind blood and guts and law enforcement/detective-led storyline, then you'd like this.  I thought the premise was cute with Tony Chu having cibopathic abilities (the ability to get psychic impressions from anything he eats) in order to help solve crimes.

Interesting premise, and I really liked the art style.  It was perfectly gritty and really complemented the words on the page.  But, this first volume just didn't make me care enough about the plot or characters to move onto volume 2 any time soon.  Glad I gave this a try though.  It had been on my TBR forever!
