slym2none Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 It's a funny take on "bird flu" , just gone to an extreme. It is theoretically possible, no? It is/was theoretically possible for "mad cow" disease to wipe out our beef supply, yes? -slym (still hasn't read issue #2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGuardian Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Also keep in mind that it's only on the 2nd issue. I'm sure there's a lot more to it then just simply deciding one day to outlaw poultry; I'm sure there are some deep seeded reasons as to what really was the cause here. I'm interested in seeing what chicken-conspiracy theory Layman has concocted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstro Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 So far I think the story is pretty interesting. I will defiantly be picking up issue 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50 Cent #II (1st) Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 From the article. "For now, it looks like that very market will be a happy place for "Chew" if the book continues to perform as it has. "We increased the print run on 'Chew' #2, not just because the first issue sold out, but also because initial orders actually increased from #1 to #2. Orders have gone up again on #3, even more dramatically than they did on the second issue, so we're definitely going to be adjusting the print run accordingly," Stephenson confirmed. "Knowing John and knowing a bit about what he has in store for the book, I think 'Chew' has the potential to enjoy a really healthy run."" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyBeanComics Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm sorry - I read it and thought it was stupid. Just over the top stupid. I agree 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakeprimeone Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm sorry - I read it and thought it was stupid. Just over the top stupid. I agree 100% What exactly made it more over the top than any other comic out there? Not trying to start a debate, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack comics Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm sorry - I read it and thought it was stupid. Just over the top stupid. I agree 100% What exactly made it more over the top than any other comic out there? Not trying to start a debate, just curious. I really enjoy the book so far. I don't think it's over the top more than any other comic with super/paranormal abilities. I read the chicken Hamas more of a commentary on how our society overreacts to some threats and allows for too much government rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) I agree I thought it was dumb too, but I also was able to look past my snoobish super hero tastes and realize this book is well crafted. Its not my bag, but I can easily see why many like it. Its like the attraction to Walking Dead. I personally dont like it because the book doesnt offer much hope, but I can appreciate the character development, story arcs and just how well crafted the book is.

Monstro Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 What happened with Walking Dead when if first came out? Just for comparison. Was everyone talking about it right away? Or did it take a while for it to catch on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilAsh Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 What happened with Walking Dead when if first came out? Just for comparison. Was everyone talking about it right away? Or did it take a while for it to catch on? From my experiences, Walking Dead certainly wasn't hot right out of the gate....For instance, I bought my first CGC 9.8 copy of issue #1 around the time that Walking Dead issue #6 was on the shelves. The hammer price was only $40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 01001010 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 this is a fun little book, i like the story and how over the top it is but it is grounded in satire about the current overly paranoid world we live in. like it more than any of the super hero books out there. j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
