Chew #35

Rob Guillory's cover for this fifth and final chapter of "Bad Apples" is a striking image: a fierce, determined woman towers above a writhing mass of tentacles, wielding a stone tablet reading "THOU SHALT NOT" in one hand and a shield in the other, all set against a stormy purple sky crackling with lightning. The sheer intensity on her face — and the chaos squirming beneath her feet — signals that this concluding installment brings the arc to a genuinely dramatic head. John Layman and Rob Guillory's fan-favorite food-crime series is in fine form here, delivering the kind of wildly inventive cover that makes Chew so hard to put down.
