Mitchell Moss is about as regular as it gets. He's married with two children and co-owns a successful chain of Memphis Hot Chicken restaurants. It's not the life that screams hero/vigilante...until he discovers that his business partner is in bed with the mob and owes them $2 million. Unfortunately, Mitch is ill-equipped to be a badass – he's just a guy who makes really good chicken. Can he protect his family from cold-blooded gangsters? Absolutely not. But maybe the CHICKEN DEVIL can...

In conversation with The Beat, writer Brian Buccellato (Detective Comics, The Flash, Witchblade) described CHICKEN DEVIL as a “dark tragicomedy that puts an edgy spin on the revenge/vigilante genre,” tonally similar to a Quentin Tarantino film, AMC’s Fargo, HBO’s Barry, or Netflix/Channel 4’s The End of the F***ing World (itself based on the comic book by Charles Forsman). He said he loves “stories that mix the super violent and the funny,” and that “the humor in my story attempts to do the same thing by taking graphic violence and the revenge movie tropes and putting [them] through darkly comedic lenses that is 100% my sense of humor.” Illustrated and colored by Sherman Hayden (COLD WAR, MARY SHELLEY MONSTER HUNTER), with letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, CHICKEN DEVIL is a darkly comedic crime drama that’s juicy, tender and deliciously hilarious. FIRST ISSUE ADDITIONAL CONTENT: Official Memphis Hot Chicken Menu, including the story behind the founding and success of Mitch’s restaurant chain.
