Chicken Devil #1

It's a tour de force here with the team obviously enjoying every second of the creative process. Some teams sweat blood to get a new series but I have a feeling this was born over a bucket of wings and some hot sauce. Read Full Review

Spicy and furious, this story pulls punches and doesn't stop until you're battered to a pulp, and then some. Read Full Review

I have no idea where Chicken Devil is headed, but I'm anxious to find out following this thousand-mile-per-minute opening salvo. Read Full Review

There's a lot of fun to be had in this and plenty of places it can go, if this kind of material is for you. It reminds me heavily of the drug-infused Crank film with its distorted sense of time and continuity but blended with Falling Down, though that's more to come in the next installment as our lead takes more control of his destiny. Buccellato's script moves nicely here even if it feels just a bit clunky early on until things feel like they firm up more. It helps a lot that Hayden Sherman's artwork is so dynamic and forward-moving in how it feels and flows so that we get something here that definitely has a lot of energy to it. I'm definitely curious to see where this will go in the end, but it's really going to be a journey to get there. Read Full Review

Chicken Devil 1 by Brian Buccellato, artist Hayden Sherman, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Holy Sh*t 🤣🤣😂😂 This is one of the craziest and most hilarious reads I've experienced recently! Up front I want to say buy this book, if there is one new book you're going to give a chance to this week please let it be this one. The best way I can describe it is, if you were to take the the best parts of a Guy Ritchie, Shane Black, and Quentin Tarantino movie and you throw in some Breaking Bad and then top it of with great humor. What I was impressed by is how quickly you can go from belly laughs to "damn this is fuc*ed up." Our main character Mitchell Moss is an everyday guy with a beautiful and loving family - though a bit chaot ic. You could even say he might take it for granted. What's a little bit different about Mitchel though is that he owns a chain of chicken sandwich restaurants called Mitch's Hot Chicken in Los Angeles. He started this venture with his childhood best friend Antonio from scratch. Unfortunately, for Antonio the chicken business just wasn't enough for him and he gets mixed in with some very bad people and some very bad business. Ultimately everything comes crashing down around Antonio which inevitably pulls in Mitchell. What happens because of Antonio's seedy dealings changes Mitchell's life forever and makes him long for the days when all he had to worry about was waking up to a noisy house before making his way down to check on his famous chicken restaurants. I have to give special credit to letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. The lettering he does adds so much character to the story and even adds to the comedic impact of many scenes. Some of the most unique and enjoyable lettering I've seen. Sherman's art is full of energy and perfectly matches the chaotic nature of everything that happens. PS: If you do plan to read it make sure you read the backup. It's perfect 😂 more
