“WOW. Months ago, if you told me that CHEW would still be selling out by the seventh issue, I’d have asked what you were smoking,” Guillory said. “Thanks to everyone, retailers and readers alike, for making this book such an incredible success story well beyond anything John and I could’ve dreamed up. You guys are the ones that make CHEW a hit!”

Press Release
SAVAGE DRAGON has recently made a much publicized return to the Chicago police force, seen the return of his greatest nemesis and in SAVAGE DRAGON #156 he can only pray to survive what may be his fiercest challenge yet: his own creator, Erik Larsen.
“I’m putting SAVAGE DRAGON through the ringer, this time out” Larsen said. “When it came down to executing that classic superhero cliché, the showdown with an evil twin, there was no way that I was going to do the expected–that’s not the way I’m wired. Often I’ve heard about writer/artists doing issue-long fight scenes and it occurred to me that I’ve never actually done that. This was an opportunity to cut loose as I’ve never cut loose before and the end result is not only the most brutal comic I’ve ever illustrated but quite possibly the most shocking as well. I’ve often said that there is no status quo in SAVAGE DRAGON and that nothing and nobody is safe. For readers weened on superhero comics from other publishers this may seem like a foreign concept but SAVAGE DRAGON readers have experienced that for years. Those readers who came onboard when Dragon returned to the police force are in for the surprise of their lives. If you think you have a good idea of what’s possible in a superhero book, think again. SAVAGE DRAGON #156 will make you a believer.”
