Not enough human flesh consumption in your comics? Well, Chew on this!
Image has announced that the well-received new series Chew will be be piggy-backing on the upcoming issue of Walking Dead #63 on July 17th.
The first issue of Chew will be printed in black-and-white as a flipbook in tandem with Walking Dead writer Robert Kirkman’s story. According to Image’s post, the entire 48-page book will not experience any price hikes, being released at the going price of $2.99.
Chew, written by John Layman and illustrated by Rob Guillory, follows Tony Chu, a cop with a disgusting manner of finding clues: by getting a psychic impression off anything he eats.
“As a creator, there’s nothing more satisfying than hearing that a lot of people are interested in reading your book. The flip side of this is there’s nothing more frustrating than hearing how people can’t get a hold of your book to read,” Layman said in a press release. “So, Image and Robert Kirkman concocted this great plan to put CHEW in a lot of people hands– and for the unbeatable low, low price of ‘free’.”
Meanwhile, via Twitter, Image partner Robert Kirkman said “Honestly, CHEW is hotter than TWD was when it started. Our sales never climbed as fast as this. Don’t miss out. Get in on the ground floor.”

I wanted to pick this series up so bad and I had it on hold at my comic shop but somehow my pre-order got lost and I never received it in my on-hold bag. Now I’d have to buy it for $50 off eBay. Believe me when I say I’m quite ticked off about this. I guess I’ll just trade-wait now. Can’t wait to read it!

Finally! I love the Walking Dead and have been trying to get Chew 1 and Chew 2 for a while but with no success!

Wow. $50? I was fortunate enough to snag the last copy from my shop (I planned to buy it thanks to the preview in an earlier issue of TWD). Does anyone else ever own something and find out later that it’s now going for an exorbitant amount and you get a mixture of relief and a feeling of, “Man, if I had missed out, I’d be totally screwed right now.” Kind of like when I decided to pass on Kick-Ass 1 and had to pay about $20 for it later. The downside is, I now buy things I’m only mildly interested in right off the bat just on the off chance that they’ll be underprinted and catch fire.
