Chew #6
"International Flavor, 1 of 5" kicks off a wild, offbeat investigation in Chew #6, where John—reconstructed with a bionic face and now an F.D.A. agent—teams up with Tony under the delightfully smug supervision of Mike Applebee. Sent to solve a bizarre bank robbery involving a pile of fecal material, the duo’s routine case takes a surreal turn during a nostalgic visit to D-Bear, before John unravels the truth through a mountain of data. The real twist comes when Tony tastes the chicken gumbo at the scene and finds something… unexpected. Written by John Layman and illustrated, inked, and colored by Rob Guillory, this issue blends dark humor with culinary mystery in a way only Chew can. Cover by Rob Guillory.

John accepts bionic reconstruction of his face in exchange for working as an F.D.A. agent. Mike Applebee takes particular glee in pairing Tony and John as partners. Applebee sends the agents to investigate a bank robbery where the perpetrator left a pile of fecal material. The agents make a side trip to visit D-Bear -- just for old-time's sake. John processes a boatload of data, deduces the perpetrator, and the boys make the collar. But at the crime scene, Tony tastes the chicken gumbo and finds something unexpected.
