Image and Skybound Announce Crossover, OUTER DARKNESS/CHEW

An upcoming crossover event, per Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment, will combine both Outer Darkness and Chew, thus, Outer Darkness/Chew, for next spring, from John Layman, Rob Guillory and Afu Chan.

Outer Darkness is a science fiction horror series from Layman and Chan, which follows mankind as it colonizes the galaxy. Through interstellar travels, a terrifying secret is found.

Chew centers on a cop, Tony Chu, who is a cibopathic. He gets psychic impressions from what he eats. He’s a great detective, so long as he’s taking a bite from the corpse of the murder victim. The series is helmed by Layman and Guillory.

The upcoming crossover will combine the two series, pinning Detective Chu against demons, monsters and ghosts on a 28th-century ship, in space!

“Returning to the Chew universe was always a no-brainer. I mean, after 60+ issues of Tony Chu’s adventures, how could we not? It’s something longtime fans have clamored for since Chew’s end, and this crossover is the perfect excuse to dive back into the insane world John and I created,” said Guillory. “It’s the perfect ode to Chew, while highlighting the amazing work John and the insanely talented Afu Chan have been doing on Outer Darkness. It’s two great books that just ‘taste’ great together.”

Outer Darkness/Chew #1 (of 3) goes on sale on Wednesday, March 4, 2020.
