I find it even weirder ...
The premise of this graphic novel had a lot of potential, but it required more suspension of disbelief than I was able to muster: it's LA in the near future, restaurants have replaced all other commerce two rival culinary mafias (locavore vegetarians vs. corporate minimalist carnivores) carve up ...
