Chu

John Layman and Dan Boultwood serve up a darkly comedic, horror-tinged crime saga for Image Comics, running 10 issues from 2020 to 2021. The series follows Tony Chu, a federal agent with the unique ability to psychically absorb the memories of anything he eats—a power that proves both a blessing and a curse in a world where food is a dangerous, often deadly commodity. Boultwood’s expressive, cartoonish art perfectly complements Layman’s sharp, irreverent writing, creating a distinct tonal balance between grotesque violence and wry humor. This series stands as a self-contained, offbeat thrill ride that showcases the creative duo’s flair for blending genre tropes with inventive, visceral worldbuilding.
