Sushi Suicides

A conversation with my friend Yvonne about "seppuku worthy" sushi (as she put it) reminded me of these pages from Anthony Bourdain's Get Jiro. Released this summer by DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, the chef’s first foray into the graphic novel genre is a playful collaboration with writer Joel Rose and artist Langdon Foss together with José Villarrubia.

Synopsis: In a not-too-distant future Los Angeles where master chefs rule the town like crime lords and people literally kill for a table at the best restaurants, a bloody culinary war is raging.
