Detective Tony Chu has a secret. A strange secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also implies that, as long as he doesn't mind eating a murder victim's body to determine whodunit and why, he's a heck of a detective. The FDA, the world's most powerful law enforcement organization, has assigned him to look into their most unusual, peculiar, and ill cases. This is why they brought him in.
Gathers issues #1–5 of CHEW.
