Chew #7
"International Flavor (Part 2 of 5)" delivers another sharp, offbeat chapter in John Layman and Rob Guillory’s wildly inventive series, with the story splitting its focus between John’s Arctic investigation and Tony’s undercover mission on the remote island of Yamapalu. As Tony digs into his brother Chow’s new job as a hotel chef, tensions rise when the F.D.A.’s Lin Sae Woo arrives—only to clash with Tony over jurisdiction, setting off a chain of uneasy encounters that leave her abruptly fleeing the scene. The issue’s grounded tone and layered mystery are elevated by Guillory’s distinctive art and Layman’s razor-sharp dialogue, all wrapped in a cover by Guillory that captures the series’ blend of humor and unease.
