Courageous Law Enforcer Loving Husband Mediocre Father 2nd Most Powerful Cibopath on the Planet Angriest Man in the Solar System
For over 4 dozen issues, Tony Chu was the most vocal and dogmatic proponent of the FDA's anti-chicken laws, as straight-edged and heroic a cop as anyone could be in a world as horrifically (and dangerously) bizarre as the one he lived in.
Perhaps that's why, in the end, it had to be him who pulled the trigger.
You knew he'd make it here. You just didn't know what he'd have to do to make it possible.
She wanted to be just like her father's loose cannon, maverick foils on the FDA.
Nathan Williams
She thought that if she worked and studied hard enough, Lady Luck would for once (JUST ONCE!) give her a break.
A winning hand.
Zachary Harris
Instead,
It gave her Ginny Cardante.
Justin Lewis
History is like a wheel.
It goes forward by going through the same motions.
Kevin Rogers
Way back when, Peter Pilaf was a bullied nerd who used his vaguely defined food-related superpowers to brainwash the girls (not Olive) at his school to have sex with him, influence his classmates to murder one another in the cafeteria, and attempt to blow up the entire establishment.
Leo James
He also had a talent for crafting recipes that were LETHAL once cooked up by pretty much anyone.
Jack Carter
He was jailed for all that, but he was also falsely accused of murdering astronauts, which earned him a deliciously undeserved trip down into maximum security.
He was kind of sore about that.

Years ago, Tony Chu's 2nd Worst Enemy was a Mass-Murdering Siberian Cibopath that went by the moniker of "The Collector."
Passed himself off as a Commie Vampire.
Thomas Watson
oh, nice. thanks for dumping it, man!
Sebastian Sanchez
Peter here is currently aping his style.
Minus the Socialism.
Parker Scott
You might be wondering who Ginny is supposed to be.
She showed up in Issue 51.
Michael Anderson
Olive's as hard to like as her father.
Ginny's the closest thing she has to a friend.
Blake Young
that ending was so wtf
Bentley Lewis
Not because they share similar interests or temperaments. And it's not because Olive necessarily likes her.
But because, unlike everyone Olive has allowed herself to truly love in her life, Ginny doesn't die so easily.
So it goes.
Brody Phillips
Those Omnivore Editions have any special features?
I'm wondering if I should buy up all 6 now or wait until the inevitable Image Cash-In Omnibus.
Isaac Baker
Chow Chu is Tony's least favorite relative. He bullied Tony relentlessly when they were children until his little brother got too big and strong and violent to push around anymore.
Chow used to be a celebrity chew who believed that the supposed avian flu that killed millions of people was a sham.
He was right.
He thought that, by that logic, chicken was safe to cook and eat and serve.
He was terribly wrong.
Brandon Long
When the chicken ban laws eased up, Chow went right back to cooking chicken in his restaurant. His customers ate all his wonderful dishes and enjoyed them.
This got a lot of people killed.
It was mostly Tony's fault (though no one would ever know), but it was Chow's fault too.
Caleb Davis
Thanks!
Dominic Hernandez
have another one
Landon Smith
Presenting that fabled page that guaranteed the survival of Tony, Applebee, and Caeser.
Bit-by-bit anyway.
Everyone else was fair game.
Cooper Bennett
No problem.
Cooper Cox
So, I guess they've got some super-absorbant shirts and jackets in the future, since Applebee's ever-present sweat stains aren't showing here...
Anthony Harris
Now you're just spoiling me.
Parker Morgan
What is Justice?
Brody Perry
The Conspirators' actions were proper, but ill-timed.
Mason Savoy sought to bring them in, but by the time he busted the case, most of them had all ready perished and the only one left was the most innocent of the bunch.
He murdered him anyway.
Was that just?
Alexander Martinez
Noble Protectors Die
Homicidal Cultists Live
Is that just?
Gabriel Wilson
Tony Chu was blackmailed by an advanced alien race into killing millions of people to save his world.
And for many decades, he's had to live with the guilt.
Is that just?
Ethan Barnes
FUTURE!!!
Brody Lopez
o fuck
Samuel Phillips
get ready freddy
Daniel Ramirez
uhhh
bloodbath soon?
Sebastian Rogers
The aliens that blackmailed Tony and destroyed countless worlds were just looking out for their own.
aaaaaaaaaaaand intergalactic war begins.thanks chew.
Ian Wright
>this is where it ends i don't have a Big Smoke moan long enough for this.
Angel Carter
But who am I to judge.
A demain.
Good 'ol Tony.
Ah, he's King of Hell now. It's all good. I'm just surprised that Tony didn't immediately try to kill Colby after eating Poyo though. Of all the grudges that bird chose not to hold onto...
Elijah Myers
What a bitter finale. Layman really didn't chicken out at the end.
Wyatt Morales
Welp. Thanks for keeping it interesting, Chu. I wonder how Earth will fair in the chicken war.
Did they ever explain the origin of all these food-based powers? Did they all come from the chicken men somehow?
Because people are always like "muh closure" and as soon as things end they're like "we need a sequel/reboot/remake".
Fuck people.
Jordan Peterson
The colonel sends his regards. 11 herbs and spices bitch.
Brayden Ramirez
Didn't expect Tony starting shit with the chickens after what he had to do to save things. I figured he would be bitter and angry about it all, probably secluded and just giving up on shit. I had hoped for him finding some happiness though. Also expected a bit more closure than opening a whole new thing. I guess I would have preferred it to have ended on #59.
Daniel White
Hell of an ending, and it's a fitting one.
Too bad the aliens are going to go all Nebula-M on the earth now.
Noah Watson
I think we can substitute some of what happened in those psychotropic visions for what will happen to the earth after this.
Nathaniel Perry
>Alien race forces you to genocide a large portion for humanity, causing you to lose your love, friend and happiness in exhange >Murder them as soon as they set foot on the planet
About what I expected.
Grayson Reyes
Such an eh ending, wtf.
Ethan Green
Yeah but its only a good plan if you've gotten to the point where you can destroy their home world too.
Chase Diaz
That's why he ate a bit of himself at the start.
Tony knew it would be stupid, and would have been rational. Forcing himself to relive the memories re-lit that drive.
Charles Campbell

Logan Bell
Been here for the whole ride from issue one.
See you on the other side, sempai.
Levi Sullivan
Just one thing i didn't completely understand. What exactly was gallsaberry?
Tony spent rest of his life lonely and with heavy burden. Killing singlehandedly the ones that started this all was the maximum of closure he could deserve
Ethan Wright
Dammit Carlos.
Nicholas Collins
I feel like I just watch an episode of invader Zim
Angel Carter
Chicken alternatives, I think.
They tried to create chicken substitutes, so people would be ok with not eating them anymore.
Benjamin Bell
It was a very dark story from very beginning. Humor was here only to make some balance
Christopher Clark
No, that was chogs. Tony found out gallsaberry came somewhere from space but i didn't understood how. And i didn't completely understood it's abilities
Kayden Thompson
>This is where you say goodbye.
I love that line.
Isaiah Morales
Reading this - do you remember the time when somebody was planning to shoot some funny TV cartoon series based on these comics?
Joseph Green
I think that's still being made? Or at least some kind of animated feature (like a western OVA). With Glenn from TWD as Tony.
Justin Ramirez
>Tony found out gallsaberry came somewhere from space but i didn't understood how. And i didn't completely understood it's abilities I took the gallsaberry as exactly what the first guy said, a chicken substitute. The fact that its progenitors were also the ones who implanted the cibo powers is why gallsaberries enhanced them. That's my take, at least.
I gotta say, I have some very strong feelings for this ending, both good and bad.
Adrian Gutierrez
>that fucking politician became vice pres >"the king" My fucking sides. There's gotta be a million easter eggs in this issue.
Asher Ward
>fell off a few months ago >have issues 56 ad 59 >missing 57 and 58 >cant find it at my lcs
guess im waiting for the trade
Gabriel Watson
For all the shit he went through, Chew deserves this.
Owen James
already got me, damn
gonna miss this book
Parker Cooper
fuckin a right
What an ending
Jack Hall
Words from the creators.
Luke Thompson
It was by design!
Jason Ward
Over for real now.
Julian Reed
Well that was exactly what I expected Chew to end on: a little bit of comedy, tons of continuity easter eggs, a little bit of tragedy, and good old Chew weirdness. I definitely didn't expect the series to have neither an overly tragic nor an overly happy ending.
I'm really glad I read this comic. It was definitely worth it.
Jackson Watson
My only want now, is what the heck was Chow's pathetically stupid ability?
