Chew #9

This Spanish-language edition of John Layman and Rob Guillory's Chew, subtitled Palitos de Pollo, opens with a striking cover: a ferocious, fire-wreathed rooster standing defiantly with its back to the viewer, clutching what appear to be bamboo weapons while flames lick up around its taloned feet. Behind it, a row of five sketched portrait panels display an assortment of intense, scowling faces — a compelling lineup that hints at the tangled cast surrounding this wild world. Planeta Cómic's presentation of Layman and Guillory's darkly comic series continues to deliver that perfect blend of the absurd and the menacing.
