Detective Comics #19 would have been the 900th issue of the comic if they hadn't have done that New 52 relaunch thing.

John Layman printed hundreds of copies of the Secret Agent Poyo comic, a spinoff of Chew, for San Diego Comic Con, exclusively.
They were to have had a pink metallic foil cover, but printer error turned it gold.
Nevertheless, he has now almost sold out, and has put a block on selling any more today[...]
Chogs are the strange hybrid between frogs and chicken, created by genetic laboratories in the comic Chew as a way to get around the federal prohibition of chicken.
No one really wanta Chog, but they're kinda forced to.
Possibly, a little like these actual Chogs from Skelton Crew Studio, creating a series of pop replicas from the[...]

Secret Agent Poyo is the upcoming Chew oneshot starring the cyborg assassin chicken from the series who has become a breakout hit character without one word of dialogue escaping from his beak.
I've had a very minor role in this comic, helping John Layman with a few English specific references, as the chicken in question is[...]
Jesse James is attending C2E2 for Bleeding Cool. But got some questions in early. The last two years I have been able to watch Rob Guillory grow into a
Chew, by John Layman and Rob Guillory, is due to finish with issue 60 Still around three years away.
But in today's issue, as promised by Layman, we flash forward to that scene in a rather amusing and metatextual way.
Chew has already run one issue completely out of order, issue 27, which we are still catching[...]
It's a precursor to some April Fool's announcement, probably at ECCC tomorrow.
The clues are there if you look.
One, John Layman talks about having seen Sound Of Music on stage in New York when he was a child But it wasn't on the stage then.
Two, seven foot males with full vocal ranges? If released on April[...]
John Layman tells Bleeding Cool;

This is a world where a guy can take a butcher's knife in the face and come back as a robot.' I thought it was pretty obvious I'm not killing him, I'm setting him up to come back as Super Chicken, but no one seems to have figured that out yet," says Layman, who envisions[...]

The writer of Chew, John Layman, and the artist in Dicks, John McCrea are working together on a new version of Mars Attacks from IDW, coming out in June.

Until now.
And while the standard market won't be getting a glow in the dark cover for John Layman and Rob Guillory's Chew from Image, they will have a "fifth colour" luminous enhancement instead…
Which should be enough to freak anyone out.
