"You've got a cybernetic rooster meeting a lie-detecting alien cat. How's that crossover supposed to work?"
"It's fun and it's cool. So that's all that matters. It's what comics are for. DUH."
I love Image comics. And now I need to read me some Revival.

An interesting crossover. I don't know if it would woo any of one comic's fans to the other, but it was fun to see Chew characters playing in other sandboxes.
(NB: added to the "queer" shelf because Colby. No actual queer content.)

I actually really liked this crossover and I didn't know how it could work. I really wanted to get deeper into Chew but, strangely enough, the eating gross stuff kinda unnerved me. Even though I have vol. 2, it's been taking me awhile to get through it. Meanwhile, I'm a big Revival fan and wondered how they'd work together.
They work well, actually. The different angles based on which side you start on was a nice touch. There's a dark comedy with Chew that I really like, and a serious rural noir feel in Revival that's drawn me back month after month (It's the same reason I can't get enough of Sheltered, tbh). So getting to see the two different approaches to the same moment, one darkly humorous and one deeply serious, was kinda refreshing and innovative. And I really liked the different art styles (getting to see Dana and Em Cypress as Guillory figures was really interesting). A kinda Rashomon approach, y'know?
I look forward to reading more in this cross. Maybe I'll have to pick up Chew again... ^.^
