I mentioned John Layman's upcoming new comic book series Chew last month. The series is a police procedural starring Tony Chu, a federal agent who gets psychic impressions from the the things he eats. Yes, you read that right.

It sounds so utterly bizarre, and the more I read about it, the more I'm looking forward to checking it out. Here's another story on John Layman and Chew: John Layman Bites Back in "Chew". The first issue hits stands in June.

Fun fact: Tony Chu is actually modeled after actor Ken Leung, who plays Miles on Lost. If there's ever a TV or movie version of Chew, Layman insists that Ken is perfect for the role. Now, how cool is that?
