John Layman and Dan Boultwood's Chu Returns From Image In July
Chu, the Chew sequel by John Layman and Dan Boultwood published by Image Comics saw its fifth issue published in November 2020 – and nothing since. But Chu will return in July, part of Image Comics' July 2021 solicitations.
The comic stars Saffron Chu, sister to Chew-star FBI investigator Tony, and is a criminal. A cibopars, she has the power to learn secrets from who she eats with, which comes in handy, in her field of work.
After Tony put her in jail for three years, Saffron Chu was just released, and pointed out to Tony that she had been eating and drinking with hundreds of inmates in jail and now had a whole new set of skills – probably not the lesson he wanted her to learn. She left, telling him she would never see him again. Of course, never is a long, long time.
Chu was meant to return in April with #6, but, you know, stuff. July will do. Described as an alcoholic, time-travel heist involving wine, more wine and priceless French art, the new (She) Drunk History arc begins in July. Here's the solicitation in question.
