It's strange to think that there was a time when I wasn't going to stick with this comic. Now it's one of my favourite monthly books. In this issue, Layman starts his next arc, 'Flambé'.
Last issue ended with the sudden appearance of strange letters in the sky all around the world (there were some other big revelations, but they don't get discussed here at all). Now, because of this, priorities are being adjusted, and Tony and his fellow FDA agents are beginning to turn a blind eye to chicken infractions (remember, chicken is illegal in Chew-land), and are instead tracking down a missing agent who is voresophic - this isn't entirely explained, but it seems that so long as he's eating, he has super-human intelligence.
I like the way Layman has been shaking up the status quo on this comic over the last couple of issues. Introducing all of Tony's family last month, and then adding this alien writing thing is serving to inject new energy into a title that already had plenty going on.
