Chew, Vol. 9: Chicken Tenders by John Layman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Chew is all about the world of food-related superpowers. It got me thinking, what would be a good food power to actually have?
Tony’s cibopathy, which lets him learn a lot about the origin of a food, its maker, all that stuff, pretty much seems like a fuckin nightmare. Olive’s power seems a little better, where she can sort of absorb knowledge, skills and abilities. But what else might be out there?
Crackopathy: Ability to crack eggs, one-handed, without fucking up even a little.
Greastoppumup: Cook bacon and have all the grease remain in the pan, no splashing anything else.
Smoquotient: Mentally disable all smoke alarms while cooking.
Sommeliarity: Become an expert wine taster without being a total asshole.
I need to think about this more.
