" Maybe I'm crazy but why would one spend 35 dollars on an Image comic by a guy who's longest run on a book was the Gambit mini and another guy who has drawn nothing else in comics?I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by its cover but this cover says "Take me out of the bargin bin for 99 cents two months later."Is it really that good? "People like it. The Walking Dead and Invincible graphic novels have become perennial best-sellers on the order of Preacher, Transmetropolitan and Sandman and they are also Image books. Some books from Image do get very popular.

" I think the appeal of the comic is the novelty, and not necessarily the quality. I mean it is a good book and though Image does have some stinkers, this I do not think, will be one of them. It is a quality book with a very unique hero. He thirst for justice and his odd relationship with what he chews really can make for some exciting story lines. Hopefully it can be sustained. "It's obvious that Rob is in it for the long haul and his art does have a "look." However, the writing is not quite that strong in my opinion. I thought the writing on Chew #2 was better than the first issue, but Layman "is no Robert Kirkman" when it comes to delivering a hit-you-in-the-head-with-a-baseball-bat punchline. It would be a shame if this book dies on the vine because an absolutely brilliant idea doesn't generate an equally brilliant script.
