Mike Norton asks… What's this???? pic.twitter.com/PAaPua6egA — Mike Norton (@themikenorton) February 5, 2014 Well, Mike, I've just had it confirmed from one of the participants it is the Chew/Revival crossover coming from John Layman, Tim Seeley, Rob Guillory and Mike Norton from Image Comics, out in May 2014 Each team will do one half, then the other team[...]

Must be touch to chew with that triceratops carapace. It is a point, from Deceivers #2, how often did cowboys get the chance to actually shoot someone They're glorified shepherds. Okay, I probably wouldn't say that a lot in Pretty Deadly, but there are a distinct lack of cows,m just horses and.,. foxes. Deadly Class asks an interesting question,[...]

John Layman writes for Bleeding Cool, on yesterday's story about the Chew writer leaving the upcoming Batman weekly title, Batman Eternal. So yes, it is true that I am leaving Batman Eternal I'm writing 4 issues of the first 20, one of which I still have to turn in, and then moving on to solely concentrate[...]

I'm sure we'll find out. And there's always Chew…     When Francis Manapul and Brian Buccelato moved from Flash to Detective Comics, writer John Layman and artist John Fabok, who had been working on the comic for a year, planned to move onto the new Batman weekly comic, Batman Eternal. Except it now seems that's no longer the[...]

Rob Guillory works with John Layman on the Eisner and Harvey award winning Image Comic Chew He got pulled into the diversity in comics discussion that stemmed from the Image Expo today when he was mentioned by another Image artist, Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen) Guillory gave a good and unique insight into the discussion… plus[...]

The Chew Smorgasbord got a mention in the Top 11 Graphic Novels of the year. How much of it is down to Poyo is probably up for debate But the odds are, "lots". But as cyborg-enhanced chicken killing machines there are few to match him. And now you can get a bust version of the character[...]

CHEW sales way up CHEW now going to issue #74! — Slow News Day Layman (@themightylayman) December 18, 2013   As you can see he even changed his title to "Slow News Day Layman"… It's after the middle of December, John… of course it's a slow news day. Rob Guillory and John Layman's Chew took off like a rocket[...]

Even the merest mention in the new Chew is enough to set the heart aflutter. Manifest Destiny #2, my favourite comic this week, and here's one reason why, a stunning fall from a cliff, with comic panelling utilised to the full, even a minor eclipse of the sun. Add a bunch of Minotaurs and horse headed centaurs[...]

John Layman and Rob Guillory swamped a room at New York Comic Con today with a discussion of the rise and rise of the long-process road to success book Chew, coming soon to Smorgasbord Edition, signed and limited at the Con in only 350 copies The edition collects the first 20 issues and Layman says[...]

So, it seems sensible to check in with Chew… Erotic? Really? Okay then Ken Keebler, what would you make of this from Suicide Squad? Could even you make that a bit of a turn on? Well, Batgirl, wasted milk and cookies would make me worry too. That's more like it, Archer of Archer & Armstrong at least has an[...]

Chew is a book that we keep under our pillows for when we think we're alone. Of late, Layman has also been writing DC Comics' Detective Comics, a return to the publisher he was once fired from for speaking out of turn on the internet. It doesn't seem to affect how he speaks on the internet though. And[...]

The Chew Smorgasbord edition, available at NYCC next week, will have a variant red slipcase edition A 200-copy Signed and Numbered edition, with 150 copies of the red variant exclusively for NYCC. Collecting twenty issues, oversized, 576 pages long for a hundred bucks. There will be lines I will be in one. Hope he has some Chogs as[...]

Joe Baden writes for Bleeding Cool: "Why don't you stand up and introduce yourself?" "Um, okay… Hello everyone… my name is Joe Badon and I've been a full-time freelance comic artist for the past 4 years." Peabody! Set the wayback machine for about 2009. Stepping out of seven years of full time ministry and stepping into the unknown world[...]

A kind of Truther Turdurken… with the outer conspiracy group as shocked by the inside as the rest of the world is by the outside. Turdurken are forbidden by law in Chew, of course But they do have culinary assassins That, right there, is the reason everyone should read Chew. This is Tim Seeley's last issue on[...]

They've got the first Revival hardcover, as well as the Chew: Smorgasbord edition It's good to see Chew is taking the Kirkman-approach to hardcovers I guess that means it's pretty darn successful Speaking of Kirkman, The Art of [long-time partner] Charlie Adlard is coming out, which I guess is a book with a lot of[...]

This is a line for John Layman's Chogs, vinyl recreations of the creatures from Chew, frogs injected with chicken DNA to create an attempt at a successful chicken substitute meat. And everyone wants one – he's only had limited numbers each day…       [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0PMyZral6s[/youtube] No, it's not a line for Mattell[...]

It is an option...

Oh yes, one of these glowy Chogs from Chew will be mine I'm looking at you, San Diego Comic Con… One of these will be mine Oh yes, one of these glowy Chogs from Chew will be mine I'm looking at you, San Diego Comic Con… One of these will be mine Oh yes, one[...]

Chew #34 by Rob Guillory Have you seen this cibopath? Or is this cover saying something deeper, like all cibopaths are the same in nature? Or maybe, just maybe, this cover is the result of one of those What Will My Baby Look Like in 30 years? websites if these three men shared a baby For[...]

This is the cover for Chew #34. And this is also the cover for Chew #34. And this. Inside each other, all three around one issue, encouraging you to cut along the lines and mix up the faces – or reassemble them into the correct fashion. Go on… I dare you Cut up your comic! After all, there's a[...]

But the Chogs are coming, the toy spinning off from the comic book Chew, in which chickens have been banned and frogs and being genetically altered to try and provide for a chicken-obsessed society. You can see a Chog in the… flesh as it were, at Layman's booth at Phoenix Comic Con Just, you know, don't[...]

John Layman, co-creator of Image comic book Chew, has been tweeting That always gets interesting And this time it concerns the much-publicised option that Showtime took on this comic about a cop who gets psychic flashes when he tastes something Which generally means he ends up licking corpses a lot. Layman tweets; I think it's going to[...]

Alex Wilson talked to John Layman at Amazing Arizona Comic Con; John Layman, the creator behind Chew and current writer on Detective Comics, is one of the most interesting men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting He's laid back and talks to fans, being polite and charismatic, taking time and signing regardless if someone[...]

This is not a sketch from Rob Guillory of Chew. This is not a certification from And Books Too This is an eBay con. This is not a sketch from Rob Guillory of Chew. This is not a certification from And Books Too This is an eBay con. This is not a sketch from Rob Guillory of Chew. This is[...]

At the end of 2012, I asked whether the New Year would bring us a Chew #1 selling for more than a thousand dollars. It looks like it has A copy of Chew #1 with a CGC of 9.9 is currently selling on eBay with bids up to $1200. Sadly it hasn't reached its reserve price But[...]

Yes, it was the conclusion to the first half of the series (Layman has gone on record saying CHEW will run 60 issues), but how do these two sleep at night? I'm assuming rather well, with all their recently acquired CHOGS money. While a horrible jumping-on point for new readers, CHEW #31 takes place immediately following[...]

Cases in point: Chew #31 is the first issue of that series following the sold-out issue 30, and the first issue to follow the sixth trade As writer John Layman tells us, it's first issue of the second half of the series We're going to give everyone who orders that book at 125% of issue[...]

So what made me pick this particular panel? Well this cover of Chew felt like a natural segue But what it leads up to, man, I wasn't expecting this Not at all Like I said, John Layman is an arse And Rob Guillory is his co-collaborator. And that's not even as bad as what happens next… and[...]

And I told him. Because I've just gone and read issue #30 of Chew The halfway point John Layman sent it me, and I was so happy A kind of late fortieth birthday present, I decided. Until I read it While instant messaging him Which went like this. Rich: Page 12! John: Yessir. Rich: Page 17! John: The entire arc has[...]
