Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice
by Rob Guillory, John Layman
This was an interesting graphic novel. I liked the premise of the story, which is about Detective Chu and his special ability (He is a Cibopath) to perceive psychic impressions from the food he eats. But wait! It’s not just food that he can eat and receive impressions from… it also extends to animals and humans, too. Because of this “gift,” Chu dislikes eating. The only food he CAN eat and not receive impressions from, is beets. Do not ask me why. It’s not explained.
In this story, meat has been outlawed and the FDA serves to police people when it comes to raising, selling and eating animals for food. Chu has been rangled into working with the FDA because of his special “talent.”
There is a romantic love interest, for those who enjoy that type of thing. Amelia has a gift, also. She has the gift of describing food (Saboscrivner) so that the reader feels as though they are actually tasting it. Finally, Chu can taste food without eating it and seeing the sometimes horrific process of how it made it on his plate.
I highly recommend this graphic novel series for entertainment value and originality. This will be one graphic novel series that I will follow.
