They’ve teamed up with our friends over at Image and are bringing a stack of great books for your digital library! Check out this nice little trailer the team has put out!

If you’re not familiar with The Humble Bundle crew then let me bring you up to speed. Humble Bundle is a site that offers packages (AKA Bundles) of media at a “pay what you want” pricing scheme. Best known for their video game bundles, they’ve also branched into the world of music as well. The best part is you can dictate how much of your money goes to whomever is involved. In this case you can decide between The Humble Bundle crew themselves, Image comics and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

So how does it work? Just head on over to the Humble Bundle official site and enter the amount you wanna spend! Any amount you enter guarantee’s you volume one of  the following books:

East of West

Fatale

Lazarus

Morning Glories

Chew

BUT WHAT! There’s more! If you drop 16 or more Washington’s on this bundle, then you can snag Volume 1 and Volume 20 of The Walking Dead! DAS WASSUP!

So go help out some great charities and expand  your digital comic library while doing it!

‘The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun, Felicia Day To Star In ‘Chew’ Adaptation

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: If you weren’t already aware, an animated Chew adaptation is incoming, and it just got two stars!

Torchwood: Web of Lies and Peter Panzerfaust (animated) director Jeff Krelitz will direct the adaptation, which is scripted by Chew co-creator John Layman.

The Walking Dead‘s Steven Yuen is set to voice the titular character, Tony Chew, while The Guild’s Felicia Day will voice Amelia Mintz, a food critic and Chew’s love interest.

Here’s the comic’s description:

Tony Chu is a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he’s a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn’t mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. It’s a dirty job, and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the government has figured out Tony Chu’s secret. They have plans for him, whether he likes it or not. Presenting a twisted new series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants, written by John Layman (Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness, House of M: Fantastic Four and Puffed) with mind-blowing art by astonishing comics newcomer Rob Guillory.

It should be a neat adaptation, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more! Fans, what do you think of the casting news?

John Layman Reveals ‘CHEW’ Adaptation No Longer Moving Forward

by Shawn Madden

An adaptation of John Layman & Rob Guillory’s series CHEW has been in the works for awhile now,  Stephen Hopkins (24) has been working on a movie adaptation of the series since 2010. Then, a short while ago, it was revealed that there was a small screen adapation in the works with Showtime. Just weeks ago Guillory discussed how work was progressing on the series but it now appears that talks have broken down with Showtime.

 


 

This doesn’t necessarily mean that we won’t see a CHEW series come to the small screen, but it definitely doesn’t look good. If you haven’t read the series check out the synopsis for it below:

 

Tony Chu is a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he’s a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn’t mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. It`s a dirty job, and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice. And if that wasn`t bad enough, the government has figured out Tony Chu`s secret.
