 Starve #1 $0.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Brian Wood (A) Danijel Zezelj, Dave Stewart (CA) Dave Stewart, Danijel Zezelj UTENSILS DOWN, HANDS UP! WELCOME TO STARVE! Once the world's most famous chef, Gavin Cruikshank's been in a self-imposed exile for years. His little foodie television program has since evolved into STARVE, an arena sport that pits chef against chef for the pleasure of their super-rich patrons. It's a stain on a once-noble profession, and Chef Gavin is ready to go to war to stop it. Two things stand in his way: his arch rival Roman Algiers, and his adult daughter Angie, who probably just wants her dad back and acting normal. Whipsmart world-building and a creative dream team (DMZ, The Massive, Star Wars, Loveless, Hellboy, The Sandman) come together for a brand new monthly series! Date Available: 06/10/2015
BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 Brian Wood is two for two launching titles at Dark Horse this year, but 'Starve' is my favorite of the two. I'll put this as simply as I can, but please realize this sentence will make no sense until you read the book: This is a sci-fi take on the current issue of income inequality as funneled through the lens of a cooking show w/ a chef looking to level the playing field for society via his cooking. Wood has a good ear for dialogue, Zezelj has a a great style, rich w/ heavy blacks and sharp angles, and the satire of both television and politics works well in the first issue. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
