Chew: Secret Agent Poyo, the unlikely and awesome story of a cybernetic, kung-fu expert fighting cock, has sold out and will receive a second printing. A one-shot spin-off of the wildly popular, Eisner-Award-winning Image Comics series Chew by John Layman and Rob Guillory, Secret Agent Poyo is a full-color comic featuring 22 pages of story and ten pin-ups by some of independent comics’ best artists, including Jim Mahfood, Nick Pitarra, and Ben Templesmith.

Layman’s comments about the news matched the humor of the comic:

Secret Agent Poyo is the most important thing to happen to comics in the last three hundred and fifty years, and it’s clear that the public recognizes it for the towering literary achievement that it is.
