The holidays can be a stressful time for shoppers and part
of that is knowing, exactly, what to get someone without tipping your hand TOO
much so the surprise can remain intact. Worry not, stalwart shopper, for Two
Cats Comic Book Store has you covered. This is a list of comics for people with
specific, discerning tastes, or just anyone looking for a great read over the
season.
Chew Vol 01 Trade Paperback (978-160706159)- A massive avian
flu outbreak not only killed millions, but made the FDA the most powerful
organization in the US, giving them power to arrest and even use lethal force
in the line of duty. Jon Layman's tale follows Agent Anthony Chu, a being
dubbed a "cibopath," who can interact in strange, unique ways with
food. Specifically, anything he eats (besides beets) gives him a strong,
psychic imprint of how it came to be. This includes humans, leading to some
grotesque humor. The book could have been a dark, dramatic tale, but instead is
played almost solely for laughs, thanks to over-the-top cartoonish art by Rob
Guillory. This is a perfect book for someone who likes their humor a little bit
dark and a lot gross, but with plenty of wit and...BITING satire.
