There was actually going to be an animated adaptation of this comic starring Steven Yuen as Chu for AMC. Regrettably it was cancelled due to the death of Robin Williams, who was going to voice an important character, and the executives weren't sure if the show would be a hit without his star power behind it.
John layman the creator of CHEW said on his twitter that a live action CHEW adaptation is in the works and we could be hearing news about it sooner then later
And then fall into a ditch and stumble after like the second season at best. I love iZombie but man it’s a different show after that second season. And that one lacks the magic of the first.
Somehow the romance in this series is really wholesome and it’s such a nice break from the crack level shit that’s always happening. I hope the series gets more attention!
I loved reading this comic. All the cool powers and weird plot lines, it was a total fever dream of a series, and I adored it. Maybe I should give it another read.
Bro why did Tony not just taste a bit of the guy’s blood like he did before?? There is genuinely something wrong with him if his first instinct was to take a chomp out of the face 💀
@mildlymarvelous *Spoiler* The more he eats, the clearer and deeper the memories he gets and retains. It also gets a really cool use later where eating people allows you to retain their core skills in life. Sadly the main character doesn't use this much, only once when he's forced to, so it's something the villains mostly enjoy
I also actually genuinely did need this, feels good that I can get sucked out of my own life with a simple "Ah look, I am now very invested in the terrifying and amazing idea of a detective that solves crimes this way and the baddie that can make people vomit with explicit wordings! I'm in!"
I like this art style. Reminds me a little of Johan Vasquez (invader zim, Johnny the homocidal maniac) 2000’s alternative produced some great/horrifying aesthetics!
I’ve actually got recommended this comic before after I bought The Goon a while back. After seeing this, I’m definitely going to see if they sell any volumes of it. It looks incredible.
They tried a couple times to get a show going. Originally live action on showtime then animated movie with Steven Yeum and Felicia Day. None ever came to fruition which frankly I’m ok with. Image comic adaptations are sort of cursed
Wow I read this as a kid years ago. Had absolutely no clue what was going on at all back then and assumed it was a violent crime thriller, turns out that was the least weird part of it.
I remember when this first came out around the prison part of the waking dead comic series I believe maybe earlier. I still have the first of edition of chew
This comic had a lot of potential, starts out super cool and original, but man it gets *STUPID*. Some of the powers and gags defintely overstay their welcome, some aren't utilized enough, and the gritty tone just eventually goes away. I think it'd have worked as an animated series, too bad that got canned.

@@yesitsL22wait really 😮 that’s sick bruh
Chew would walk so izombie could run
RIGHTTT
And then fall into a ditch and stumble after like the second season at best.

@@legateelizabeth XD
I was just thinking of Izombie
I literally clicked on this just to make an Izombie joke XD

Same reason Space Marines eat brains when they could taste blood instead

his name is.. chu?
Or is it chew
Chu but it sounds like Chew. It's a wordplay hence the title n main premise of the series
Chu on DEEZ NUTS
Wordplay. Never go to kindergarten?
Tony Chu is a… beet cop? 😅
13:41 The Everywhere at the End of Time music killed me. Now I'm seeing my lifeless body on the ground while i type this from Hell. Thanks man 😡
I actually really love this story and now I want to know more! I do hope for another video about Chew comics!
im so happy u summarized this comic ^_^
You should totally talk about Johnny the homicidal maniac
I get it. He's a "Beet Cop"
You are so good at these summaries!
Finally, peak comics have arrived
THIS COMIC NEEDS AN ANIMATED SHOW I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!
I like this art style. Reminds me a little of Johan Vasquez (invader zim, Johnny the homocidal maniac)
2000’s alternative produced some great/horrifying aesthetics!
Dude you definitely got to do more summaries of this comic
I’ve actually got recommended this comic before after I bought The Goon a while back. After seeing this, I’m definitely going to see if they sell any volumes of it. It looks incredible.
3:37 raphael ahh weapon
There are several things wrong with you
@@Blueskiiiiii 😲
Fully read this one a good few years back, definitely worth making a follow up on, one of if not my favourite comic ever written.
this could make an awesome tv show, werever is animated or live action
I think there is... I think it was Izombie... or the zombie is a copbiting the flesh of dead victims allow them to find leads..
iZombie and Santa Clarita diet did this
@@HELLO_KORO My friend, I was just about to mention those two.
They tried a couple times to get a show going. Originally live action on showtime then animated movie with Steven Yeum and Felicia Day.
None ever came to fruition which frankly I’m ok with. Image comic adaptations are sort of cursed
@@009_Ghostly_SystematicI zombie even has the main character with a on the nose pun name. She's a Zombie. And she's named "Liv Moore"
This story is NUTS and right up my alley for weird/supernatural-crime shit. Can't believe I didnt know it existed 🤣
Genuinely interesting comic, nice! Thanks for posting about it and sharing it.
9:47 You didn't have to do my girl Lin Sae Woo like that 😭
I legit thought this was a game at first from the thumbnail. Bruh
loved reading the comic and how chaotic it kept being as it went on, lowkey recommended it
One of my absolute favorites. So glad you shared
FINALLY MY FAVOURITE COMIC BEING APPRECIATED
Wow I read this as a kid years ago. Had absolutely no clue what was going on at all back then and assumed it was a violent crime thriller, turns out that was the least weird part of it.
Hell yeah! More eyeballs on my favourite top 5 comics!
Now I need to read this myself! You should continue on with the summaries, this was fun
Well, at least Tony's heart is probably something along the lines of pure iron, considering beetroots help your heart's health.
Hell yeah, great comic. I need to get this on paper. EL POYO!
Cant wait for tbe adaptation
Fr it’s gonna be so peak
A tv show about this would be a banger
I read chew a couple years ago, it was such a good comic to read
I remember when this first came out around the prison part of the waking dead comic series I believe maybe earlier. I still have the first of edition of chew
And he is what someone might call a beet cop.😅
I read this long ago and enjoyed glad i found someone made a video about it
Please continue this, love it
Omg they need to have an episode set in the timeline of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle....
Someone got the playbook from Warhammer 40k about getting info from their fallen enemies xD
Isn't this kinda like iZombie?
No? Unless im confusing it for something else
Please more this one of my favorite series.
Keep up the good work doug!
…
I joked that cybor boy slept with the boss to distract but I was surprised lol
Do hope a second vid comes out, this thing has plot twist that impress me and makes me want to see more, wanting to know where they can go from there!
MORE PLEASE!!
Oh my god i read this in middle school i thought i dreamed this
This is what happens when you played too much prototype
Lin sae woo has some biiiig personality.😂

applebee took backshots 😭😭😭❗️
It would be amazing if you did more of chew
Beets? cop? like a BEAT cop?!
Pro gamer moment

I second this
The title seems like a title for a callmekevin video
This is basically the plot of Izombie
I have a request, could you summarize Stoner Ninja please?
I would like to know how it ends and also make sure to take a break and keep up the good work
I saw this in a few walking dead issues 2 years ago
Can you do IZombie next? It’s kinda like chew but they have their differences.
What a beautiful du wang!
OH MY FUCKING GOD CHEW REFEREBCED ⁉️ I own the first 8 books! Such a good series 😭 gets so crazy

1:32

I suppose someone who made iZombie could've read this.
Art style reminds me of something recent from Genndy Tartakovsky, like Primal.
This comic had a lot of potential, starts out super cool and original, but man it gets *STUPID*. Some of the powers and gags defintely overstay their welcome, some aren't utilized enough, and the gritty tone just eventually goes away.

Nice now do more i hate fairyland
